SCAFFOLDING

Lessons in the CyberPad are scaffolded. As you have already seen, Leo guides students through the agenda, which itself is designed to build upon previous knowledge. Students are able to reflect upon what they learn and re-evaluate previous ideas and answers. Some additional scaffolding in the way of sentence starters are provided on many of the writing prompts. These sentence starters are used to help develop a student’s argumentation skills. Argumentation is discussed on the next page.
