Prompt

    Help me differentiate this lesson so it works for a range of learners.

The lesson or task as it stands (paste it or describe it): {{lesson}}
Grade level and subject: {{grade_and_subject}}
The range in my class (who's struggling, who's ready for more, any specific needs — describe generally, no student names or private details): {{learner_range}}

Please suggest concrete adaptations:
- **Support / scaffolds** for students who'd struggle — chunking, sentence stems, visuals, worked examples, reduced load — without watering down the actual learning goal.
- **Extension / challenge** for students ready for more — deeper questions, added complexity, open-ended tasks — not just "more of the same."
- **Access** options for varied needs (language, reading level, how students show what they know).
- Keep everyone working toward the **same core objective** where possible, just via different routes.

Give practical, ready-to-use adjustments, not general theory. Base these on the general class picture I described — please don't ask for or use identifiable student information or anything that looks like a formal diagnosis. These are options for me to apply with my professional judgment. If I didn't describe the range, ask.
