Product

Differentiating by product:

Differentiating by product could be described as giving a student options on how he or she can demonstrate to the educator that he or she has met the objectives of the lesson or unit. When an educator differentiates by product or performance, they are affording students various ways of demonstrating what they have learned from the lesson or unit.

An example of differentiation can be seen below- the classic book report project:

1) 5-paragraph essay format 2) 5-minute presentation on the book -Theatrical if appropriate--a performance of a favorite scene that represents a critical part of the story 3) Artistic representation-abstract or concrete -Graphic novel or comic strip approach with captions  4) Book review (instead of report) in which student critiques the work similar to a newspaper review and provides suggestions for future and related readings.
 * How can we differentiate the product for this assignment? **

Differentiate using Technology: 1. Create a Voicethread presentation on the book 2. Use Glogster to create an artistic representation (abstract or concrete) 3. Create an iMovie or Movie Maker trailer for the book
