Differentiation

Differentiation

Carlos, Cassie, Analysa

For a specific topic in your content area, explain how you would differentiate instruction for readiness. Ideas may include the use of grouping, different levels of scaffolding, intervention/enrichment, and/or the use of technology.

Develop and practice effective communication skills.

First of all we would pretest students to check their mastery level of the target objective by giving them a short quiz on the macronutrients (proteins, fats and carbs). We would form learning groups based on their score of the quiz.

Based on the quiz the teacher will have three separate learning groups.

The first group- Students will write a one page paper with a partner and classify the different macronutrients and their sources.  

The second group- Students will write a one page paper defending a macro-nutrient of their choice. The student will examine if or why they think this macro-nutrient is more important than another.

The third group- Students will predict future conditions of individuals with deficiencies in macronutrients by writing a one page paper and defending their position.
