 Rationale
 How does this
individual lesson
scaffold learning
opportunities for This individual lesson scaffolds learning for students as they are
students? able to demonstrate what they have learned. They can do this
through annotative notes or going over it through a voice
recording. This way they are demonstrating their knowledge of
what they have learned through their own work. This also gives
students the chance to demonstrate their learning by going
through their own work. Students are then more inclined to
incorporate what they have learned into their work, especially if
they have to go over it in detail.

 What assumptions
