I enjoyed discovering this resource of sample differentiated units in our text book. They were interesting to look through and get a feel for actual units in a veriety of ways. I can see myself not only using them but especially using the formats and strategies and putting in a differnet content area or topic. they are definately somthing i will look back on when planning my field lessons and when I actually start teaching.
One of the lessons I enjoyed is the "We're all in it together." For one I always enjoy when Kinestetic activities are involved in any lesson or unit. I feel that it is a verybenefitial way of getting ideas across to students. I also can connect to and undetrstand the raft idea(by doing it in class last week) and that it is catering to the different learning profiles of the students. I also liked how the learning contracts were differentiated by colors based on interests and learning preferences.

I'm glad you see the wonderful, flexible potential of the units! I agree that the "we're all in it together" unit would be such a great combination of learning about communities from a social studies perspective, and BECOMING a community.
