My students love [interest/movie/topic]. We are studying [topic]. Make a connection between these two things to help boost student interest in learning about [topic].

Create an assignment that is challenging for [grade level] students who have a strong understanding of [topic], but also provides support and scaffolding for students who are struggling with the material. Develop this assignment so that I may have [#] stations in my classroom. Make the stations so that when they master this station they go to another station based on their needs. Students may or may not visit all stations based on their needs.

Step 1: Develop 4 sets of short highly engaging literary reading passages that [grade level] students can use to identify theme. Each passage needs to have one two-part multiple choice question.

Part two needs to be multiple choice at DOK 2 or 3 and have students choose a piece of evidence to support the theme from part one. Step 2. Ask for an answer key that also includes a rationale for each answer choice written so teachers can use it to explain theme and evidence to students.
