SCAFFOLDING
The hieroglphic messages will be divided into two types, the easy and the difficult ones, that is for 1st graders and 2nd-3rd graders. In the easy messages there will be written one simple word related to Egypt, so they wll have previous knowledge about it. In the case of the difficult ones, there will have to decode a short sentence also about the Egypt vocabulary.
Besides, I will provide some examples to guide them.
The proposal instructions provide a lot of visual support that complements the text in English so that it is more understandable for all students.
