• Questions and sentence starters are provided in the Teacher Slideshow. Feel free to change, add, or delete questions in the slides to best fit your needs. Sentence frames are organized into three language proficiency levels: Basic, Target, and Challenge. Students can choose the level that is right for them when responding.
