Differentiate Instruction

I have used activities to differentiated instruction in my class. Here, I would like to describe about an activity I have ever used in my classroom.  16 students were grouped into 4, each contained 4 students. If a teacher is to do the activity to differentiated instruction, group forming is important. The teacher need to be careful that all members of the group are interested in and eager for what the task is for them. For example, just shown in the movie segment, the group members for writing lyrics need to be willing to perform their task, and so do other groups.
Then, I gave each group a set of flash cards on which variety of tasks had been written. Each group got the equal chance to choose a flash card with the task which all group members agreed and were willing to perform. At that point, the teacher needs to be carefully to choose the tasks from which students can improve their language skills and benefits. After that, each group performed the activity of their chosen task.
I circulated around groups and helps with ideas, vocabulary, and other things. Assessment was done by means of monitoring and peer assessment.
The great advantages of that activity is that students are more motivated and more interested in the task they are performing as the task is in accordance with their hobby or the areas they are good at. As the result, students gain language skill competencies more than when they are performing normally assigned tasks. In addition to that, the learning environment becomes more enjoyable and beneficial. Very effective!
