How to Use the TAP Teacher Activity Packs (TAP) are used in conjunction with The Brandon Jones Series books to gauge student comprehension and to further enrichment and learning. Each TAP is designed to review learned objectives and correlates and adheres to Common Core standards, as well as state standards. TAPs from the Brandon Jones book series also ensures enrichment pages and activities incorporate higher-order thinking skills (based on the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy), and are easily adaptable for the differentiation needs of each learner. This TAP is divided into four main sections: Introduction, Comprehension, Enrichment, and Projects. Each section includes a guide to explain the contents and how they can be modified for your specific needs.
