This THEME BOOM CARDS™ task cards BUNDLE offers differentiated ways to answer questions to meet the varying needs of the students in your class. Since each deck asks the student to do different things, you can use all three decks with each student, if you choose.
This Theme Bundle includes passages that students read to determine the theme. There are three types of decks (one word, choose the theme in a sentence, and write your own theme).
Explanation of each deck:
- The “One Word” deck would have answer choices like “Courage”.
- The “Choose the Theme in a Sentence” deck has answers like “It takes courage to stand up for what you believe in”.
- The “Write Your Own Theme” deck has a blank for students to type the theme for each passage.
This differentiated theme boom cards bundle deck includes:
120 task cards (24 write your own theme task cards, 48 sentence theme task cards, and 48 one word theme task cards.)
The sentence and one-word decks are set up so that students can go back and read the passage to get the question correct. If they try to submit the wrong answer, it will take them back to the passage to read it again.
This resource is completely digital. As students answer each question, they will receive immediate feedback. This helps students practice independent learning while strengthening skills.
