Organizing and Managing Instruction

Providing opportunities for students to respond

actively is an important way to structure lessons, as
it motivates students to learn and engage in
meaningful activities

(Above,left): After researching different

englightenmentthinkers, students engage in a
fishbowl discussion, taking on the
role of particular philosophie to convey and
distinguish historical
characters' views on social issues.

(Right): Students work together in their cooperative base

groups to complete a map activity. Usually, these
groups consist of students from a range of
achievement levels and strengths. This is a way to
foster friendly and supportive interactions among students.

Apart of differentiated instruction is offering

multiple options for students to express their
understanding of a topic. (Above): Students act
out a written script of a conversation between a
peasant, knight, and king to demonstrate the social
hierarchy of the feudal society. (Right): For the same
lesson on feudalism, this group of students perform
A talk show debating pro's and con's of feudal living.
