Explanation: These are two activities for students who need remediation or would benefit from lessonextension on one objective in your lesson. Do not be misled by the terms “with different instructionallevels” in the descriptor. You will not know which students would benefit or need enrichment and/or 

remediation until the lesson is complete. Hence, “the planned ….activity may or may not be used”. Youwill specify the enrichment and remedial ACTIVITY for ONE objective on ONE day only. These twoactivities will be written in the “Procedures/Activities” section of your lesson plan for that day.

 An easy way to describe the activities of the other learners while the enrichment or remedial activity isplanned is to conduct the two activities simultaneously.

Example:

Day 3 Activities/Procedures

REMEDIAL ACTIVITY for students who did not meet requirements for Objective 3. Students willengage in a listing activity after reviewing a short video on ….

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY for students who met the requirements for Objective 3. Students will beassigned to complete the enrichment Learning Center 1 on …….

NOTE: Do not forget to highlight the words REMEDIAL and ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY in your lessonplan.
