Three Levels of Scaffolding Minimal: Era Envelope In a triad students get one envelope with one reading and three charts. They read, annotate, and rotate texts. Moderate Scaffolding What we did today: A jigsaw activity Maximum Scaffolding T and students read reading one intensively, including close reading. The process is continued or changed as needed (in which case, a jigsaw of 2 may work). © WestEd, Teacher Professional Development, 2013
