Hundreds of example lessons organized by differentiation techniques.
π Fuzzy Problems
Fuzzy problems are ambiguous. They are missing data. They have lots of right answers, but (more importantly) they also have wrong answers.
πͺ Change, Then Explain!
My favorite way to reach "synthesize" - ask students to make a change and then explain the effects of that change.
π₯ Get Ridiculous
Avoid boring examples and go for the outliers! Everything's more interesting when you're working with unexpected examples.
π₯ Embed A Classic
Take out a boring sample and embed great art, music, film, tv shows, and other classics into your lessons.
β Ask Better Questions
I received surprisingly little training on how to ask questions, considering how many darn questions I asked!
π€ Find The Controversy
Every topic has some juicy controversy. Leverage it! Look for ambiguity, disagreements, dilemmas, and discrepancies in any topic.
π« Anti-Techniques
These are ideas I used to believe that now I think aren't actually so great. Oops!
π Think Big! But Also Small.
Get your students' thinking moving from specific to the abstract and then back again.
