What is Differentiated Instruction? : 

What is Differentiated Instruction? It’s consistently and proactively creating different pathways to help all your students to be successful. ~Betty Hollas

Slide 6: 

Differentiating Instruction is doing what’s fair for students. It’s a collection of best practices strategically employed to maximize students’ learning at every turn, including giving them the tools to handle anything that is undifferentiated. It requires us to do different things for different students some, or a lot of the time. It’s whatever works to advance the student. It’s highly effective teaching!

Rivers: Nature’s Wondrous WaterwaysWritten by: David L. Harrison Illustrated by: Cheryl Nathan Published by: Boyds Mills Press, Inc. The hills and low places make a valley and all the water in the same valley drains down to the same river. As the river grows, the force of its water gouges a groove called a channel. It pries into cracks and loosens pieces of the mountain itself. It may slice down deep into rock to carve a gorge or a canyon. It crumbles stone slabs into pebbles and sand, and cuts soft rocks, creating riffles and rapids and waterfalls. Guess the Covered Verbs Remember: Verbs are action words. Remember to ignore the prepositional phrase when determining verb tense. All the water _________ down to the same river. What verb will work here?

Wait a minute! Are you wearing socks with sandals? You really need to get with the style. I may not be a fashion model, but at least I have some fashion sense.

Some kinds of lava ooze and slide slowly. Others stream down the mountain as quickly as cars in city traffic. Hmmm… how fast do cars in city traffic go? How is this different from highway traffic? What kind of picture do YOU see?

: 

How do rocks get so hot they melt? What causes volcanoes? The answers lie deep beneath our feet in the four parts of the earth – the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The crust, where we live, is covered by land and oceans. In places under the seas, the crust is only three miles deep. It may be forty-three miles thick beneath the mountains. Text from: Volcanoes: Nature’s Incredible Fireworks Written by: David L. Harrison Illustrated by: Cheryl Nathan Published by: Boyds Mill Press, Inc. Next Page

Slide 84: 

Below the crust, the mantle stretches down 1800 miles. Rocks there melt to a gooey paste or tar called magma. The core is a huge ball more than 2100 miles to its center. It is mostly iron so hot that the outer core is liquid, but the inner core is solid. Pressure there is so great it keeps the iron from melting. The crust is not one piece like a coconut shell. It is several large pieces called plates that cover the planet like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Can you find the similes in this text? Hmmm… The author used a simile with the word not. How did this help you create a word picture?

Now it’s your turn. Read through some of your previous writing pieces. Where can you add similes to help readers paint vivid mental pictures? :

Strong Verb Poem By: Melissa Forney Razzle Dazzle Forney

Strong Verb PoemRazzle Dazzle Writing By: Melissa Forney : 

Strong Verb PoemRazzle Dazzle Writing By: Melissa Forney The dog ate the bone. Don’t you think that’s kind of weak? The verb here is “ate” But it needs a little tweak. The dog ate the bone, Let’s try another verb. One that’s really run to write, One that’s quite superb. The dog could devour the bone, Nibble, gnaw or munch it.

Slide 90: 

The dog could snark-up the bone, Gobble, bite or crunch it. The dog could consume the bone, Oh yes, that dog could do it, Inhale the bone, impale the bone, Swallow, gulp or chew it. So when you’re writing to impress, Don’t use a verb that fizzles. Think of every word you know, And give me one that sizzles!

Slide 94: 

I think that when you’ve read this list You’ll get the main idea ... All these crazy sound effects Are onomatopoeia! Once you learn to say that word You kind of want to yell it, But even though you yell the word I bet you cannot spell it! You can learn to spell this word In just a single day ...
