 * DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION **

// High Achieving Group //


 * Specific students will be asked to make an additional Voicethread segment
 * This segment would consist of observations during the two week fermentation period.
 * They would be required to take additional pictures of the bottle and make observations.
 * Images and observations would provide additional information regarding the fermentation process


 * Students could also be asked to complete a series of summary questions with their partner.
 * To complete these questions they could use Google Documents
 * The below word document has 15 summary questions related to the lab and would be very suitable for a collaborative effort using Google Documents

// Median Group //


 * Within the median group you will have a mix of students, some that don't quite fit into the high achieving group and some that don't quite fit into the group of struggling students.
 * To assist the students at the higher end of the median group you could have those students make signs to design signs to put around the school for the sale of the Root Beer.
 * To assist the lower end of this group the teacher could assign roles within the group to ensure the students that may struggle with this task are given the less difficult portion of the task.

// Struggling Students //


 * Likely the most challenging part of this lab will be compiling the report.
 * To assist students with this challenge the teacher could work through the key points of the report with the students.
 * Additional guidance on the report would likely reduce the struggles students may experience.


 * If students are experiencing issues taking quality photos or miss specific photos the teacher could provide these students with a folder of pictures (the teacher had previously taken) to select from.
 * Providing the students with possible photo options will allow the students to focus more on the lab and voice recording rather than the images.
