    This plan fits with our general literacy/writing curriculum - simultaneously working toward several other content standards..
    N. In what ways could you tailor this integration plan to meet the individual student learning needs?
    This plan provides students with the opportunity to work at their own levels, all with the same general learning target. Students needing review will work with other students, and conference with the teacher to develop basic skills. Students who are more proficient or advanced will have the opportunity to extend their work beyond the requirements by adding more details and/or further developing their writing.
