That's a great question and I do see pros and cons of both ways. I always do list the choices in progression of difficulty for two reasons: it's easier for parents to clearly know which choices are more difficult, and it's easier for me to keep track of each child's picks. Since the children write their choice number in their homework notebooks, I can easily tell if a child always picks the easy options or challenges him/herself enough. Hope this helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428313153684770377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798752244677910148.post-69980931060954644842014-03-10T12:55:10.492-04:002014-03-10T12:55:10.492-04:00I must admit that I am guilty of giving students d...I must admit that I am guilty of giving students different homework resources to deal with differentiation. Separate math/literacy and spelling and children are in various levels for each so it can be an organisation nightmare putting it all together! I LOVE the idea of making it simple by offering choice AND the fact that it lets the parents see the range and where their child fits in. Do you always organise it so that the choices progress in difficulty with 1 being easiest and 3 being the most challenging? I was thinking there were both pros and possible cons of doing it that way. <br /><br />Thanks for posting!<br /><br />OkinawanGirl LisaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03963769752364269194noreply@blogger.com
