Blog #5

For this week's blog, please look over the variety of strategies and unit structuring ideas I have posted for you on Blackboard (in a folder that says, "Strategies and Ideas for Differentiating"). Then write and tell me about one of those ideas that you can see would work in my unit on heros. Tell me a little bit about why you think it would work for my unit, and why kids might feel the work is engaging and respectful for all.

I thought that students choice process and product would work great with this idea. The students can each pick their hero and the book that works best for them and their level and then create their own way to represent that to the class. I like how there are two rows for 4 options for the students to chose from, this way it is still teacher directed so we can make sure that their work is going to be worthwhile yet the assignment that they chose will be engaging and respectful to them.
