Essential Questions
For the multimodal component of this assignment, you will develop activities that align with the eight multiple intelligences (verbal, visual, interpersonal, mathematical, musical, naturalist, and bodily). Activities should be described in short phrases that provide context for how it relates to the topic of the unit. You must include whether each differentiated activity is by content (c), process (p), or product (pr) by putting the indicated abbreviation after it. For example, if the unit activity is “mock interview with an expert in the field of geology”, you would indicate that this is a differentiated strategy for product (pr).

After creating the multimodal unit, provide a one-page narrative on the power of PLCs in improving teaching and learning in schools through focusing on differentiated instruction. Use at least two sources, in addition to the textbook, and submit the paper in APA format (including all citations and references).
