While I was reading the beginning of the reading rocks article and read the magic work differentiated instruction I thought well at the very least we change the process of the approach to material. A few sentences later and boom there it was! VTS allows us as educators to allow all of our students the opportunity to still work from the same material, but approach it and interpret it at their own level. All of the members of the BWC have the same issue with that they are struggling writers. Some have more background knowledge on certain topics and some can vocalize what they are thinking a bit better, other then that they all seem to be fairly on the same level. Nevertheless VTS allows each boy to approach an image through a different route on something they feel more confident with. Then if one of the boys hears something he didn't know beforehand but knew something else already in the image that changes the content for him. This new information provides a better and more adaptable learning environment by having the content within the image being ever changing with everything they hear. Learning environment felt just like a gimme to honestly because VTS wants students to collobrate with each other! The boys seem to collaborate with each other so easily and I have videos as proof!
