Photorealistic classroom overhead at a 45° angle in warm natural daylight: a wooden table centers a printed 3×3 choice board clearly labeled top row Bronze, middle Silver, bottom Gold with crisp type and realistic paper texture. Diverse students' hands place bronze, silver and gold tokens to complete three-in-a-row while a small Menu card stands upright listing Appetizer — warm-up, Main Course — tiered tasks, Dessert — creative extension. A visible learning contract shows handwritten entries for Tier selected, Evidence and student signature as a teacher's hand adds a signature. Three station signs along the table edge display clear icons and labels Visual, Verbal, Kinesthetic with arrows indicating rotation. Mixed-ability students gather around; soft shallow depth of field, lifelike colors and textures, and a candid collaborative learning atmosphere.
  1. Choice board (3×3 Tic‑Tac‑Toe)
    • Top row = Bronze tasks, middle = Silver, bottom = Gold. Student picks three in a row or one from each row depending on time.
  2. Menu
    • Appetizer = warm-up (everyone does), Main Course = tiered tasks, Dessert = creative extension.
  3. Learning contract
    • Student selects a tier, lists evidence they will produce, signs with teacher. Great for projects.
  4. Stations (rotational)
    • Each station targets a different level or learning profile (visual, verbal, kinesthetic). Students rotate in mixed-ability groups.
