Their music is provided in both hard and digital copies. To learn melodic and rhythmic reading, they are provided a multiple of learning platforms including Google Slides, Quizizz, Flipgrid, and Kahoot. In class, we go through the information as a group, and I walk around the group to answer individual questions while students practice their music on their instruments. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268317515 2021-03-04 10:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268317515 I have multiple rooms, allowing me to form break-out groups by ability or need. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268317883 2021-03-04 10:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268317883 Through questioning, differentiating activities so that they vary in difficulty. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268323376 Providing extra instruction to those who need it.

Students have content choice based on interest (choice board activities for cultural understanding and books they will read) and level (app that lets them work at their French language level; choosing books at their level). emily423 https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268323827 2021-03-04 10:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268323827 In IT I try to meet the students where they are. Students that are moving quickly can be provided with more involved programming tasks, while others may need to revisit foundational concepts. For some students I may have them submit a written set of steps describing what the code should do, instead of having them write the program itself. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268324950 2021-03-04 10:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268324950 In Spanish we target the same content, but at a lower level and we provide the students with aides are more tools for acheiving it. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268325129 2021-03-04 10:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268325129 Assessing students doing the same activity according to their ability. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268334655 2021-03-04 10:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268334655 Flipgrid videos and in-person presentations to demonstrate musical proficiency. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268336424 2021-03-04 10:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268336424 I use an online curriculum with video tutorials, example programs, and extensive documentation. I also model good practice and give live tutorials at the start of each class to show students what is expected. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268338074 2021-03-04 11:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268338074 In middle school French, students work with others in homogeneous and heterogeneous groupings to be able to get peer support and to give peer support. We do activities based on listening, speaking, reading, THEN writing to follow the natural language learning method. We go through each of those steps during each unit and sometimes within a single lesson. We do a lot of actions at the beginning of a unit to help them access the content and make sense of it it. We listen to each other, the teacher, audio clips, authentic sources like videos and music. emily423 https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268338544 2021-03-04 11:00:34 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268338544 https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268339700

However, Art history is used to make connections with the processes and ideas students develop in their art making. As a result, we do not differentiate regularly apart from providing leveled options for responses. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268340057 2021-03-04 11:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268340057 In band, I model how to play the instrument and do lots of "echo me" activities. I create videos of small sections within our music to aide students in their daily practicing. We do daily "Rhythm of the Day" activities where we count, sing, and clap the rhythm as a group, then play it through our instruments. Students are able to listen to one another to same sounding instruments in their section to match pitch and rhythm. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268341172 2021-03-04 11:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268341172 For many students the product is some form of digital artifact that the student produces.

Students are free to use their own devices in class, or they can make use of the schools desktop computers in the lab. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268347188 2021-03-04 11:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268347188 In French high school, I give the students the some lesson and then different exercises depending on their abilities to understand. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268347305 2021-03-04 11:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268347305 In band, students demonstrate their knowledge through playing quizzes and tests on Flipgrid. They also have an opportunity to perform during schools hours if they're uncomfortable using Flipgrid. The ultimate "final product" for band class is their concert. This is to showcase all notes, rhythms, and tone production they have made improvement in. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268348557 2021-03-04 11:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268348557 https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268348836 Cla]]> 2021-03-04 11:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268348836 I ask them to give me examples of what they understand and then when someone is making a mistake , I ask his friends to correct for him and sometimes even answer questions So it let me know their understanding and they can help each other. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268351227 2021-03-04 11:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268351227 Process is a vital part of learning in the art room. Students should engage in the process and gain skills. In order to differentiate the process, I have students complete skill based pre/mini-assessments to determine where their skill level is. This way I am able to plan stages for them to approach each project. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268351714 2021-03-04 11:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268351714 The product is not something students only work on after understanding content and process. In Art the product is what they are working on continually, so they are "making the thing"; "refining the thing" and "reflecting on making the thing". Product is important, and I differentiate the product by providing for different outcomes within the rubric. https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268358078 2021-03-04 11:07:18 UTC https://padlet.com/maya350/hp3ultgv23l8wgju/wish/1268358078 There are many ways of evaluationg the products or semi products fro the main basic areas of languages.
