Process

Differentiation by Process
Differentiating by process means that students gain essentially the same information as other students, but they get the information from different means. For example, one student may get information from a newspaper article, another from a video, and another from a face-to-face interview.

Example:
Learners seek to answer the question: //Wikipedia, friend or foe?//

Task:

 * Select at least two (this means you can go for more than 2 if you have time) of the sources below and gather information you think would be important in answering the question, //Wikipedia, friend or foe?//
 * Once you have gathered some information to answer your question, go to the "Product" page and select a way to express your thoughts.
