Differentiated Instructional Support: Describe how instruction can be differentiated
(changed or altered) to meet the needs of gifted or accelerated students:
This activity could be altered to meet the needs of gifted or accelerated students by breaking
them into different groups and editing the settings of the activity to a higher grade setting, so
that it would be more challenging to those particular students.
Discuss additional activities you could do to meet the needs of students who might be struggling
with the material:
To meet the needs of the students who might be struggling would be to edit the settings of the
activity to a lower grade level so it wouldnt be as challenging and they wouldnt get
discouraged.
