📚 Teacher Notes - Differentiation

For students needing extra support:

• Provide pre-labelled maps with state names already written

• Use larger cut-out pieces for easier handling

• Work in pairs with a buddy

• Use picture cards showing each state's shape and location

For advanced learners:

• Research one interesting fact about each state

• Add major cities beyond capitals

• Include compass directions (north, south, east, west)

For EAL/D learners:

• Use visual supports and picture vocabulary cards

• Pair with English-speaking buddy

• Focus on key vocabulary: state, territory, capital, map
