From GT expert Ian Byrd: "You might wonder, 'But if I have to teach my 5th grade standards, how can I possible differentiate the content?' This is where the prompts of Depth & Complexity come in. They help us to go deeper into more specific bits of your content. Students still work with the same content, but you take those who are ready much further.
For example, rather than thinking about just Paul Revere, students could ponder 'The rules Paul Revere followed' or 'Paul Revere's ethical decisions.'
For more ideas, check out his article on differentiating objectives.
