What’s a Learning Menu? • Differentiation strategy • Menu: student choice of learning activities • Different points for different types/levels of tasks • Divided into sections (appetizer, entrée, etc.) • Students choose options from each section • Options are tasks or activities for students to complete in order to earn that set of points
