Writing is one of the four cornerstone skills of every inclusive educational curriculum. It helps us form our thoughts into coherent verses and communicate over distance and time. It is a skill usually approached as a way of appeasing bands for standardised exams, but, in fact, is the perfect tool to foster the development and expression of empathy.

Scaffolding Classical Literature: Read, Remember, Rendition
Through varied techniques, the reading of authentic classic literature is an incredibly enriching experience (although your students may not appreciate or admit this until years later!). Presented creatively, you may find that otherwise uninterested students will happily participate in activities that review/clarify details of the stories and so be able to interact with the literature more confidently.
This activity focuses on the purity of Shakespeare’s language. Let the students roll it around in their mouths and feel the strangeness and how satisfying it is when they can finally pronounce some of the dialogue.

Scaffolding Academic Language by Identifying Visual Differences (Secondary)
Studies show that memorising academic language is ineffective in the long-term*. Students may be able to pass an exam they are studying for, but without having used the terms to analyse, compare, categorise, and defend their own ideas, most students will forget the meanings of the words as quickly as they learned them.
The solution is easy. We create opportunities for our students to use these words, terms and phrases while analysing, comparing, categorising, and defending their own ideas.

Scaffolding Maps & Graphs with Higher-Order Level Questions (Secondary)
Higher-order level questions – those that elicit deeper thinking – help students to stretch their thinking and engage their curiosity, their reasoning ability, their creativity, and independence. These questions encourage students to open their minds, they offer opportunities to produce original thinking.  A well-structured question sparks perspectives that might not have at first occurred to us; they encourage us to look at the issue from different perspectives. Higher-order level questions inspire fresh and sometimes even startling insights and ideas, they open roads for wider perspectives of the issue, and enable teachers and students to work together in constructing understanding. If we use effective questioning skills in the educational environment, we help our students to be more effective thinkers now and in the future.*

Scaffolding Dialogue for Videos, Movies, Podcasts, Plays (Secondary)
The ability to switch perspective is essential to learning in every domain. For those who follow Deepak Chopra and his deeply rooted scientific conclusions regarding the human condition, the more effort we make in seeing a situation through the perspective of someone we are offended by or disagree with, the more we heal on a cellular level – both emotionally and physically. Students are going to read chunks of dialogue taken from various tracks.
