Students would be from the whole range of abilities: Hi, medium, lo ABE, GED, ESE, ADD. OK, so a curriculum that divides these students up into teams based on equality of teams is what I am looking for. Students would be reinforced to help each other. The curriculum would be in a game format so as to improve participation and attention. The game should have rules that screen out destructive students and promote positive student engagement. Now the hard part :). The material of the curriculum should align with Standards and Bench marks of basic k-12 reading levels. Questions should reflect implicit, rather that explicit knowledge of benchmark skills . The material of the curriculum should be such that it requires three questions of each team (easy, medium, hard) so that all levels of the group can be challenged. The material should be relative and evocative so as to maximize buy in on the part of the students. Has anyone out there come across any material that touches on this wish list for a curriculum? Would anyone like to collaborate on creating such a curriculum that I would be glad to test in my classroom? Nick Griffis Adult Education Inlet Grove H.S. Riviera Beach, Florida 33480 561-882-9967
