Use this differentiated, scaled, universal approach to novel studies. This can be used for individual novels, or a class set. It can be used for all types of grade levels. Students can choose the intricacy and difficulty of their submissions. These can also be used as class discussion questions. The possibilities are endless. Save yourself the prep time.

Pre-assignment= Students should know what foods are healthy, and what foods they should eat in moderation. This assignment can be used for Grades 5, 6,7 and 8. (11-13 year olds). It can also be used as an Art project, Media Studies etc. In this assignment, students create their own menu for a fictional restaurant. They use their knowledge of what is a healthy meal to be included in the menu. Students use a website to create this menu. (I like this site because the templates make it easy for beginners, and students who are good with computers can really shine). The file includes a READ ME, the assignment (with marking guide), website link, planning page and an example.

In this task, students look at raw data on a table, and use it to construct a double bar graph. Inquiry question included.

Students will be able to examine raw data on a table, and use it to construct a double bar graph.

This could be used for the completion of a “Healthy Eating” unit in Health. Students can use piktochart or simply fold an A-5 or Letter sized paper in thirds. My students loved this one.

Students will start from scratch, learning first how to label a triangle. Then measure its side lengths, then finally measuring the angles.

In this open-ended inquiry problem, students solve a situation where x number of people need to sit at y number of tables. Completely opened-ended with various solutions. Great for group work and problem solving.

A simple presentation on calculating interest. Gives students some financial literacy and teaches them how to calculate simple and compound interest via a step-by-step process.
