One of the biggest time-saving benefits of AI is differentiation.
Let’s see how you would use AI to adapt the same assignment for different learners.
📚 The Original Assignment
Students read an article:
“Should Schools Require Community Service for Graduation?”
Students must:
✅ Identify the author’s claim
✅ Find two pieces of supporting evidence
✅ Identify a counterclaim
✅ Write a paragraph explaining their position
👩🏫 Your Challenge
Choose ONE student profile:
🌎 Student A: Newcomer English Learner

- Reads at approximately a 3rd-grade English level
- Strong academic skills in home language
📖 Student B: Struggling Reader
- Reads 2–3 grade levels below expectation
- Gets overwhelmed by long passages
- Benefits from chunking and guided notes
🚀 Student C: Advanced Learner
- Reads above grade level
- Finishes work quickly
- Needs greater challenge and depth
