A fifth grade teacher is preparing to teach the students a unit on matter. In this particular lesson, this teacher will introduce to the students the structure of an atom, which includes proton, electrons, and neutrons. She already conducted a pre-assessment and found that most students were familiar with the word atom, but were not particularly strong in knowing the parts of an atom. Mary loves science and was the only student who shows that she already has a good understanding regarding the structure of an atom. She also knows that Davion is an average student who is very capable of learning the content, but it is a struggle to motivate him when teaching science because he does not care for the subject and thinks it is boring. In conducting an interest survey in the beginning of the year, she knows that Davion is really interested in comics.
For this assignment, you will:
1.Explain how might you differentiate for student readiness based on content, process, and product. Think about what you want Mary to learn and how you plan to teach it (content), the activities she will engage in (process) and how she might show what she has learned in a different way (product).
2. Considering Davion’s interest in comics, explain how you might differentiate for student interest based on content, process, and product. Think about how you might differentiate the way you teach atoms to him (content), the activities you may engage him in to help him make sense of the content (process), and the options he has to show he has mastered the objective (product).
3. Explain your rationale of your differentiated approach for each student and how it will support these students.
