Reading For Oct 14th (Pgs. 136-140)

I actually read this assignment last week and included it in that post, but as I was reviewing it tonight I enjoyed looking over some of the examples. While I was reading tiered example number one, which was very clear and understandable to me, it reminded me alot of your tiered music lesson we did in class last week. The format was the same, instructions were the same and task were similar in that we had a list of things to master and then had to present. I really liked the idea of the directions coming in varied sources (the teacher, typed, tape recorded.) In class last we my favorite part was the showing of various talents in class. Even though some groups were more musically challenged, each group still had their uniqueness and task to present, in which they were successful at. Tiered Learning gives room for every students success. Each student can and will likely be challenged and achieve fulfillment in a tiered activity. I really enjoyed reading the examples given and could see how benefits of tiering could be gained in my classroom.
