Task+Cards


 * Task Cards**

Task cards are instructional aids that outline specific tasks or experiments in a series of structured activities. Usually created by the teacher, task cards promote independent study and exploration of materials and information connected to a specific unit of study. Task cards also provide opportunities for peer teaching and interaction. Task cards can augment the teaching of any subject and may introduce or reinforce learning. Task cards can also be created and shared by students to review learning. They are an appropriate use of limited resources around a theme in the classroom or library and can be used to direct student activities at learning stations or on a field trip.
 * Description**

The teacher:
 * Method**

 * compiles extensive resources and materials;
 * requires creative input to maintain student interest in working through all the learning stations and tasks;
 * considers the learning needs and developmental levels of all students in the class;
 * modifies tasks to address the individual abilities of the learners.

Task cards:
