Differentiating Instruction With Menus: Biology (Grades 9-12) Laurie E. Westphal

Differentiating Instruction With Menus: Biology offers teachers everything needed to create a student-centered learning environment based on choice. This book uses six different types of menus that students can use to select exciting advanced-level products that they will develop so teachers can assess what has been learned, instead of using a traditional worksheet format. Topics addressed include biology basics, biodiversity and environments, genetics, human body systems, and the different phyla typically included in the biology curriculum. Differentiating Instruction With Menus: Biology contains attractive reproducible menus, each based on the levels of Bloom's Revised taxonomy as well as incorporating different learning styles. These menus cane be used to guide students in making decisions as to which products they will develop after studying a major concept or unit.
