Keep the Christmas busy scene in front of everyone while one student answers a WH question, another describes a present, another makes an inference, another works through a problem-solving situation, and another practices an articulation target.
The shared visual helps students participate in the same activity while allowing you to individualize each student's speech or language goal.
