Lets ReviewExtension ActivitiesLearnZillion Notes:--On the Extension Activities slide(s) you should describe 2-3 activities written with students as the audience (not teachers). Each extension activity should push the students a bit further with the lesson but in a different application or context. Each activity should be designed to take roughly 20-40 minutes. Teachers will likely display the slide in class and then assign an activity to a student or group for additional practice and differentiation. Ideally, these Extension Activities will be created such that a teacher can differentiate instruction by giving more difficult extension activities to students who have shown mastery of the lesson, and less difficult activities to students who are not yet proficient.--If you need more than one slide to list your extension activities, feel free to copy and paste this slide!20Brainstorm a topic for an opinion essay.Issues I care about.What are some issues in the world that I think about a lot?
