Differentiated Lessons for Every Learner: S… door Dina Brulles
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.This has been a nice reference to use as D.I. is so important for my students in an inclusive classroom. When I'm looking for fresh ideas or better ways to reach my students, I plan on referring back to this book!
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.This is a very good book with sample lessons that span a number of subject areas. To me, they're models for how to generate differentiated lessons. One issue I have, though, is that the path the author shows to differentiation is rather hard to do with 25 kids, all with their own thing going on, day in and day out. It would be nice to see an additional chapter or two that discuss something along the lines of "how to do differentiation on this level all the time without burning out."

The biggest strength of this book is the wealth of extension activity ideas it provides for middle school teachers. If you are looking for step-by-step lesson plans, this is not the resource for that, but it's a great book if you are looking for project ideas to expand upon the subject matter covered in most middle schools across the country.
The lessons cover all subject areas, including "special areas" like art, PE and music. Another plus in my opinion are the differentiated lessons for math, including activities like writing story problems and computer coding, which play to the strengths of students with different learning styles. The math lessons would also be great for cross-curriculum units (ex: story problem writing for an ELA and math project).
While this book has a wealth of ideas for extension activities which are all aligned to current national standards, I don't know how accessible all the activities would be to students at all learning levels. There are many project ideas in here that seem better suited for gifted students then to students with special needs and/or ELL students, even if the lessons were scaffolded.
All and all, a good place to look if you are a middle school teacher in need of some new activities for your students to try.… (meer)

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I can plan YEARS worth of projects with this book!
I became impressed and flooded with ideas within a few moments of thumbing through it. It will be useful for my middle school aged daughter next year, as well as an good springboard for ideas with her younger and older siblings.
It offers lesson descriptions that are aligned to “depth of knowledge” levels, as well as Common Core Standards and National Curriculum standards. As a home-school teacher, I am not required to follow either, but they can be helpful in planning to meet certain goals as well as end of year paperwork for the state.
The book provides lessons in English, Math, Science, Social Studies and “special subjects” like Art and foreign language. The idea is to plan activities and extensions based on the student’s current level of knowledge and ability.
For example, in lesson 3:19 “Discovery and Colonization” a level one activity is to “create a series of diary entries of a famous explorer.” A level two activity is to “Design a mural depicting several aspects of life in a specific colony.” Level three is to investigate the positives and negatives of exploring and colonization. Level four asks the question, “Do we own what we discover?”
Is it really for every learner?
The writers assume a writing ability my son with a classic autism diagnosis just does not have. I cannot think of a means, even with extra support that could assist him in completing most of these assignments. Using the lesson mentioned above as an example, asking him to write a diary entry would be too much. I think that students with impairments in language processing, writing, and reading would have similar issues. However if the student is working at a middle school writing level, the tasks are workable. I do think it would be possible to design more visual, less writing reliant activities using this book as a guide.… (meer)
