creation is
Clean-up (if required)
students take their creations home
throw away trash
put away materials

F. DIFFERENTIATION
Because the students creations are based on their own individual imaginations and
they are able to use the materials in any way they see fit, there is not much that needs to be
differentiated in this lesson. Students are not required to participate in the English discussion
at the beginning of the lesson, so students who may not have as much of an English language
ability can express their ideas and interpretations through their work with the materials rather
than through speaking English. We will be around all of the students at all times and can assist
students who are struggling while building or drawing, or can assist students in coming up
with short descriptions of their work for the end of station museum.
