Pre-assessment for Differentiation, 9th grade Biology, Jeremy Corbett -…

- - - - Innovative Differentiation Strategy: When we move on to creating models with various objects, they will have to write a short explanation of some single part food (e.g. porkchop, broccoli, strawberry) and describe how it goes through the system, where it gets digested, and which nutrients are absorbed where.
  - - - These students likely had drawings but lacked the labels and functions due to a lack of English vocabulary.
        
        Innovative Differentiation Strategy: These students will do a simple digestion of a single part of food like the group above, but I will have various support resources to aid with the language. I will allow for simple explanations like (protein in stomach), without requiring proper grammar or full sentences (although it would be welcome of course).
    - - These students likely left the outline blank, or had the basic parts drawn without and function.
        
        Innovative Differentiation Strategy: With this group, I will spend more time with them, working on creating the models together. If they had no knowledge, this activity should help them visualize the digestive system, helping them learn. If they simply had no interest, I would be right next to them so they'd have to work on it, and at least have someone guiding them, hopefully making it more fun.
  - - - Innovative Differentiation Strategy: When we move on to creating models with various objects, they will have to write a short explanation of some food with multiple parts (e.g. hamburger: grain, meat, vegetable) and describe how it goes through the system, where it gets digested, and which nutrients are absorbed where.
