You can differentiate instruction by assigning one type of question to some students and another type to another subset of students. 2. Graphic Organizers that may aid your students in their brainstorming or planning stages of their writing. 3. CLOZE (fill in the blank) assessment of vocabulary words in the story (Context Clues) 4.
