Options for Differentiation
- Assign partners or small heterogeneous ability groups of 3-4 for “AI Investigation” activity to conduct the same investigation.
- Adjust the language in the “AI Investigation” form (online or in person) to maintain the meaning of the question but change the language to make it more accessible for students.
- Have some students complete multiple investigations, and have others complete just one investigation as appropriate to their needs and readiness.
- Remind students that, if they finish early, they can continue to work on their “Explore AI Journal”, which students can work on as an ongoing project.
