Differentiating "Life in a Box "

To engage diverse learners with the "Life in a Box" Model Activity, consider

Providing a variety of primary sources that require students to use different academic strengths to interpret.
Appropriately assigning students to explorations that are more concretely or abstractly related to the discipline or subject. For example, a box with a green label might begin with a portrait of a person the items represent and may have bibliographic information included with each item. A box with a red label might begin with an item that encourages the student to make a wrong hypothesis and may contain no bibliographic information.
