She scaffolds the information, monitors each level and ability and guides students to the next level in order to maintain engagement. What really struck me was the movement even from base ten blocks to the use of money for the students performing at a higher level.

These are the very things that many students use to learn. The teacher at this school does an excellent job of making an abstract concept like cellular organelles more concrete for his students by turning the entire classroom into a cell and having the students enter into and be inside of a "cell". He then differentiates to let students become owners of small pieces of content by having them design their own lesson plans, activities and assessments for a particular cellular organelle.

However, the teacher launched from there with having students express their understanding of imagery with the bag item.  Then she went on to have them paraphrase sections of complex text in a number of ways.  The teacher provided rubrics, model, think aloud for creating a paraphrase.
