Differentiation October 20

There were some great handouts and ideas within these few pages of the book. I honestly believe I will use these in my own classroom because they give students a variety of ways to learn and comprehend the material. I know from personal experience that I have so many different ways of retaining knowledge, and these ways of learning can help me in my own educational career as well as my students! I loved the graphic organizer and the way it was set up. It's great to show students how two objects are similar and different and put it in a way that helps them actually visualize it. For me, the way of showing the information was really creative, and it just clicked. My favorite concept in the book was Learning Menus! How cute is that! I loved how the main course had more requirements than both the side dishes and the dessert. But as a teacher, I am someone who loves color and visual aides, and for me, this concept jumped out at me. I could laminate different food items, and write the requirements on the food itself. The students could choose the type of main course, side dish, or dessert they wanted to accomplish that day. I know this isn't technically something that will make a huge difference in each students' life, but I think that small things like this show how much you care. It just makes learning more fun!
