I love the ideas presented here, however I’m not sure that I can apply this well to my classroom. The amount of time required to implement these outside the box activities would be challenging given the time restraints of my classroom. I am going to try and add some of these in on occasion though because I do think that these are great tools to enhance learning of TAG students.
