Middle or high school history teachers
Planning a history unit on the Great Depression and need to address varying student background knowledge.
This Pre-Assessments for Differentiation mind map template helps teachers group students by prior knowledge levels—top 10%, 80%, and bottom 10%—and assign tailored activities on the Great Depression. It includes three branches: 'Students who answered most correctly (top 10%)' create Google Slides on causes and effects, 'Students who have some knowledge (80%)' watch YouTube videos with a summary sheet, and 'Students with limited knowledge (bottom 10%)' read a simple article with the instructor. The template also specifies assessments like Quizlet study sets and visual dictionaries. Ideal for differentiated instruction in history or social studies classrooms.
