Whats a challenge activity? Some need challenges; while for others the pace of instruction is too fast.
All children should view what they are learning as a bit of a challenge but not too difficult to cause frustration. They must feel that the activity is one they can eventually be successful at achieving. Children and adults are motivated by challenge no matter what their ability. However, as we know, what is a challenge for one child is easy for another. Therefore, activities need to be differentiated, and teachers need to work with small groups so that the appropriate challenge is provided for every child. Providing for differentiation of instruction suggests several things: • In whole-class lessons, everyone must be able to be involved. For example, when having a discussion about a story, be sure to guide the conversation so it will provide challenge for the child who is moving along quickly as well as discussion in which a child who needs more time to learn can also participate.
