Differentiated Learning Instruction - World Social Studies & American-US History Lesson Activities - Elementary & Middle School

Differentiated instruction is very effective in the classroom. Experienced teachers, well aware of how greatly students may vary in readiness, interest, and modes of learning, work to adjust the classroom to the needs of subgroups of students. This is differentiated learning instruction.

The Learning Styles Key below can help students identify the type of task they most enjoy, the one most likely to lead to successful learning experiences. Encourage students to focus more on the process than on the product.
Each Investigation Task Card is labeled with a Styles Key icon indicating the type of project or activity.

Many of the activities can be completed in a single class period. For instance, the drama activities do not need fancy costumes, memorized scripts, or elaborate props or scenery. Not all written work, such as a letter or journal entry, needs be in finished, publishable form, and such artwork as brochures, illustrations, and cartoons can be quick sketches presented to small groups, all within a single class period.
