Use active materials or content to increase engagement and comprehension of the task.
Example:
When writing a non-fiction article, a student may struggle to pull important facts related to the topic while reading. To support this, ask a student to highlight or locate important information while reading. Then cut the located facts up into strips and physically sort them into relevant paragraph categories on separate pages before drafting a paragraph.
