Differentiation of learning
Vygotsky Social Learning Theory - Zone of proximal development
Students scaffold writing the historical recount by providing and receiving feedback from peers (Marsh,
2010).
Gardners Theory of Multiple Intelligence
This lesson accommodates the needs, abilities and preferred learning styles (Gardners Multiple
Intelligences) of all students in the following way:
o Linguistic and visual students able to write and visual concepts in the concept map generator;
o Logical/Mathematical students encouraged to reason, record, analyse, compile information and
design plans;
o Interpersonal students encouraged to discuss, respond, visualize, question and clarify throughout
the lesson;

o Intrapersonal students encouraged to reflect and express their ideas;


o Bodily/Kinaesthetic students encouraged to use the hands on Popplet application; and
o Naturalist students encouraged to relate, discover and observe others throughout the lesson.
Other considerations
o Students who require additional assistance will be able to jointly construct and complete the
Historical Recount with assistance from the teacher and /or teacher aid.
o Gifted and talented students are encouraged to begin writing a paragraph explaining why they
believe their historical person positively influenced our Australian society. To do this students
simply expand the points they already included in their concept map.
o Special needs students will be able to complete activities using an iPad and / or receive assistance
from a scribe.
Students with hearing impairments will be assisted with the use of a Front Row voice amplifier and
written instructions displayed on the overhead projector for continual reference throughout lessons
(Marsh, 2010).
