There are so many different ways to present new information and ideas, and when you present information in fun and exciting ways, you are differentiating! Make it memorable! Ask students to role play, pantomime, or even present monologues. Use children's books in all grades to make certain subjects more approachable. Find photographs, artifacts, art, music, and poetry to present new ideas. "Not only do such fresh and surprising approaches enliven a class, but they also inevitably spark students not reached by more traditional instructional avenues." Thus.... DIFFERENTIATION!
You're right... all those things have to happen in order to differentiate. Just remember that they should make it so you can have different kinds of things going on "simultaneously" -- that you want to have differentiation to be able to differentiate. 5 pts.
