It would be helpful to reference the text selection from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The differentiate worksheet/document with the writing frames is helpful for struggling learners as well as English Language Learners.

Fantastic Power Points guiding students through a range of activities. The differentiated worksheets are brilliant and incredibly detailed. The only thing missing are a copy of the texts needed, otherwise you could run with this immediately.
