Accommodations
Students
who
are
ELL
and
special
needs
will
be
supported
through
the
group
work.
Students
will
be
grouped

and
ELL
students

extra
guidance.
Students
who
are
gifted
will
benefit
from
the
groups
as
well
because
students
gain
a
deeper
understanding
of
material
when
they
are
explaining
concepts
to
others.
Gifted
students
will
also
be
challenged
as
they
must
critically
interpret
their
