Differentiation+6th

Writing - 6th Grade
//In order to create differentiation for different writing ability groups, we could use the following differentiated assessments://

1) Differentiate prompts that address different skill levels (similar to levels like glass, bug, mud) - different work and prompts, as well as having them stretch their ideas... NOT giving more work to do.

2) Differentiate the type of assessment styles (brochure, newsletter, essay, iMovie, etc.). The students could choose which way they want to present their skills and information that best matches their learning style and personality. This way, the students will excel in the assessment that they chose.

3) Differentiate graphic organizers that are used for pre-writing exercises - 4 square, outlining, web. The students could choose which way they want to pre-write their ideas that best matches their learning style and personality. This way, the students will fully engage and will excel in brainstorming their ideas before they write their assignment.
