I read Brianna Young's blog and I liked how she said that for her choice of a differentiated strategy to work with this unit would require a creative teacher. She chose to do a RAFT chart and let the students pick a way to represent and explain their hero. I thought it was interesting how she said that simply having a chart was not going to suffice, we have to be creative and make sure that the options on our chart are going to be something the students are proud of when they finish.

Please find someone's blog in the other class (not yourclass, the other one) and read their blog about the hero unit. In YOUR blog, tell me whose blog you are discussing, and then tell me what you learned or confirmed about differentiation from reading that idea for the hero unit. Don't critque the idea; just tell me what you learned or confirmed about differentiation.

One thing that we haven't talked about enough is how important it is to "publish" the criteria for quality. For differentiation to make any difference, and not "water it down," we HAVE to share the criteria for quality all along the way. 4 points
