Using Tic-Tac-Toe to Manage Differentiated Instruction

1. Before we begin our design task, read an overview of strategies (Word file) for implementing differentiated instruction in the classroom.

2. One strategy often used in differentiated instruction involves the design of Tic-Tac-Toe assignment guides. View the following examples (PDF files):

Book Report Tic-Tac-Toe (elementary/middle school)

Spelling Tic-Tac-Toe (elementary)

Hats Tic-Tac-Toe (primary)

Community Helpers Tic-Tac-Toe (primary/elementary)

Nutrition Tic-Tac-Toe (primary/elementary)

Poetry (elementary)

Sailing (secondary/adult)

3. Download a Word template to create a tic-tac-toe assignment guide for your classroom that utilizes UDL principles of multiple means of representation and multiple means of expression.
