Varying Activity Types to Support Personalized Learning
In this classroom video, you’ll see five different activities that use three activity types:
- Small-group (teacher working at a table with students)
- Collaborative (students working together)
- Independent (students working alone)
Your task is to watch the video, then align (by dragging) each description to the correct clip row. The descriptions include:
- What’s happening,
- The instructional practice (small-group, collaborative, independent) being used, and
- How this practice supports personalized learning.
If you correctly group all three descriptions with its activity thumbnail, a green checkmark will display next to the row. If your grouping isn’t correct, a red x will display next to the row.
