What you will make
Start from one checked activity, then change the task demand rather than the value of the learning goal.
Two or more versions of one objective with different levels of access and challenge.
Steps
- 1
Create and check the base activity.
- 2
Duplicate it while preserving content.
- 3
Change item count, type size, hints, or format.
- 4
Name and preview every version before printing.
Adapt by age
Ages 3–5
Reduce choices and add pictures and whitespace.
Ages 6–8
Change the word bank, hints, and number of items.
Ages 9–12
Remove scaffolds or add application and explanation.
Common pitfalls
- Accidentally changing the core content between versions.
- Making the supported version childish or less respectful.
Print tip
Use discreet symbols for versions instead of printing learner levels on the page.
