Description

Have you been looking for the perfect problem-based learning unit for your class but have diverse learners in your classroom? I am a special education teacher and have developed a PBELL (problem-based enhanced language learning) unit that includes the same research articles on two different reading levels.

This unit comes with everything you need to be successful in your diverse classroom!

Included in this unit

Pacing guide

Tip sheet for differentiation and accommodations

Instructions for solutions showcase

Read-A-Loud activity and worksheet

Research article - Version A 4-6th grade, Version B 2-3rd grade

Material prep instructions

Interactive article for students to further their research

Sheet of additional research websites

Worksheets to take research notes and to summarize their learning.

Bookmarks with sentence frames to support language

Solution rubrics for 3 different solutions and a blank rubric for you to customize

This unit was used in my 7/8th grade special education class. However, due to the leveled reading passages this could be used in a wide-range of grades.
