I would have students look it up and find the one that makes sense in this sentence. A great learning opportunity! Sat, 10 Jun 2023 12:29:23 -0400 As others have suggested, I would also talk about the word differ, and it being a root word for the words different and difference. https://nowcomment.com/documents/40909?scroll_to=3077000 https://nowcomment.com/documents/40909?scroll_to=3077000 I would also ask students to think of ways to use the word differ in a sentence in the comparing of their family or culture to someone else. Sat, 10 Jun 2023 12:23:16 -0400 Yes, I love that idea! https://nowcomment.com/documents/40909?scroll_to=3076985 https://nowcomment.com/documents/40909?scroll_to=3076985 I think it would be good for students to come up with other ideas of things that "differ" from one another.
