knowledge
b. Provide choices about topics to
explore in greater depth
c. Provide students with basic &advanced resources that match
their current level of understanding

Example: Culture study students compare &
contrast two versions of Cinderella from different
cultures. Students can draw pictures of similarities and
differences (visual learners), discuss and prepare an oral
presentation (auditory learners) or create 30 secondsreenactments representing similarities & differences
(kinesthetic learners). At the end of the time, all groups
share their ideas.
Note: The content is the same, the same learningobjective is achieved but the way that students are able
to learn or process the information is different.
