Differentiation Strategy #2 - Homework Takeaway Menu

I came across this idea on twitter and it has proved to be a very good way of enhancing students motivation to completing homework. 

Students pick from the menu the format in which they are going to complete their homework. I've used this for extended homework to revise or summarise a unit or topic, and it works equally as well with both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students. By embowering the students and giving them ownership of the homework and allowing them to choose the type of activity they are more effectively able to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding. The tasks are differentiated in line with Bloom's taxonomy catering for all ability students.  

From trying this over the past half term the students get really involved and begin to compete with each other to produce the most original and creative piece of work, which is fantastic for improving student progress and standards.
