Getting the Message Out---Production Scaffolds

OK....we've used Reception Scaffolds to help students acquire information and Transformational Scaffolds to process it into new information... but without the ability to express this learning in clear and concise ways, we would be remiss in our task. So the last form of Scaffolding is Production.

Production Scaffolds help learners to demonstrate something that is observable and conveys what they've learned. These are particularly useful when there are some "conventions of genre, publication or presentation format" that should be followed".
