Differentiation

Modifications

Some students may require assistance with reading the cards and may find the picture cards a little easier to work with. There is a Scoot recording sheet that just asks students to draw or write their prediction if using the picture cards rather than multiple choice.

Extensions

Have students use the multiple choice cards to choose the best prediction.
