Academic Language is not addressed in IDT 3600. This lesson is a continuation of TN science standard S.PK.8. We will refer to the summary created here as we continue to explore animals. We will also use our outlines for a unit on creative writing. I am aware that the lesson will be differentiated for students who did not master the objectives and for those ready for enrichment. However, modifications are not covered in this course and are not part of this particular lesson.
