Does this resource include differentiation?
Yes! These activities include cut and glue tasks for students who need a more hands-on learning approach. There are also pages that require writing instead.
For students who have trouble writing complete ideas, worksheets to practice identifying sentences versus phrases are included.
All of the worksheets and activities are provided in two versions:
-
with present tense verbs
-
with past tense verbs
This allows you to teach verb tense skills at the same time or focus on just one. There are several worksheets that focus specifically on past vs. present tense words and sentences.
