Do Now by Erinne Wortham https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn How have you used choice in your classroom to reach all students? en-us 2018-12-13 00:32:14 UTC 2025-10-07 10:38:53 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314370476 Students can either choose to study or not study... the resulting grade on assessments will be a direct result of their choice :)

but also... some projects I provide options for media presentations of their choice (pp, songs, videos etc.)]]> 2018-12-13 17:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314370476 Students choose whether to complete a a detailed and labeled picture or create a 3D foldable of their own choice or write notes and illustrate them or color them, or design icons to symbolize note details https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314371349 2018-12-13 17:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314371349 https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314371809 Foreign language:
tic-tac-toe activities provide students with choice while all choices meet the same goal. 

sometimes I let students choose to give a written or spoken response 

after watching a movie or reading a book, students retell the story from a character's perspective (character of their choice)]]> 2018-12-13 17:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314371809 ckerr12 https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314372521 Students can use Padlet and add images to reinforce learning.

Students can watch videos or not. Students can supplement with audiobooks or not. They can annotate and write notes/a glossary or not. Lessons are tailored to each student. Occasionally favorite pieces of content are revisited to build confidence with the language domain we are working on.]]> 2018-12-13 17:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314372521 I have given the students a Tic-Tac-Toe board where they are able to choose the activity of their choice for math test review. I encourage the students to choose one of the topics that they struggle with to get some extra practice. All the students must go through the middle of the Tic-Tac-Toe board which is the Chapter Review page. https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314375488 2018-12-13 17:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314375488 I have done activities such as tiered assignments and choice boards. I have also done choice homework where students can pick from a variety of tasks to do instead of having just one option. https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314375621 2018-12-13 17:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314375621 Most kids in my class have three years of the subject under their belt, but I often have kids with no prior experience. Sometimes I take the assignment and break it down so that it has a basic chunk that someone with little to no experience can handle and then other options for the kids who are on track. https://padlet.com/ewortham/lmzi9q02rvqn/wish/314375664 I also offer a Culture Challenge every term and they get to choose from 6-8 activities so they can choose the ones that interest them the most or the ones that are easily accessible
 to them.

For reading activities students choose any 5 questions to answer (for example) out of 8 listed.
