A sixth-grade class is working on a science chapter that has many new vocabulary words. The teacher notices that four students only knew 50% of the new definitions on the last formative assessment while all other students in the class scored 90% or higher. She decides that she needs to differentiate instruction to assist the struggling students.
How can the teacher meet this goal?
a.)Provide hands-on activities that allow them to use the objects that are being defined in the unit
b.)Have the students complete a word search that contains each new vocabulary word in that unit
c.)Assign the four students more homework to provide extra opportunities to practice the new vocabulary
d.)Encourage the students to raise their hand and ask questions whenever they are confused about the meaning of a new word
