Cut-and-Paste In the Middle School? Oh, Yes!!!

Middle school is the awkward stage for students.  They are tweens and early teens caught between childhood and young adulthood.  One of the truly exciting parts of middle school is seeing which version of each child shows up that day, both for them and us!  Teachers need to make sure they offer lessons and activities that reach all students and cut-and-paste resources are an excellent bridge between the two worlds.

 

 

Cut-and paste activities are a great motivator, especially for kids who do not like to write.  The activities can be as simple or complex as you want and differentiation is easy.  Students can work in pairs, small groups, or individually.  The possibilities are endless.  Cut-and-paste activities allow you to meet the needs of all students in diverse classrooms.  Think outside the box – you can use them as pre and post assessments, an extension of student notes, small group or partner activity, enrichment, in math centers, or as part of a choice menu, etc.
