Differentiating
Activities
& Resources
Activities in the classroom
Many activities can be adapted to suit each stage
in the learning framework, by changing the type
of questioning, resources or method of recording
every student in the classroom can be playing the
same game or working on the same activity.
Use this time to investigate the activities that are on display. On your hand
out there are a number of different ways to play each game or use the
resource. Decide what stage in the learning framework the activities are
designed for. Remember that to move students on to the next stage in the
framework, they must be working on activities at the next stage (eg/
perceptual students complete figurative activities)
Adapting an Activity Across
the Framework
There are many activities that can be extended or
simplified to suit the range of needs within a
class. Students can be participating in the same
games / activities but have them modified to
suit their stage within the learning framework.
