Tips
Summer School Theme Packs provide teachers with all of the materials they need to deliver skill-based,
differentiated instruction that can be adapted to any summer school setting. Lesson plans are organized into five-day sessions
and center around a specific theme and targeted comprehension skill. Strategically planned to maximize student learning,
lessons allow students to work in a whole group, a small collaborative group, and individually to formulate an answer to
each weekly theme pack's overarching Key Question.
