Artifact: Differentiated Instruction Justinian's Code

Domain 3e: Demonstrating Flexibility and Responsiveness
For this lesson, I wanted to expose my students in both my Honors World History 10 class and my General World History 10 class to Justinian's Code. This falls under Domain 3e: Demonstrating Flexibility and Responsiveness. By teaching the same course, one at an honors level and one at a general level, throughout the semeseter I was always having to differentiate instruction. This is just one of many examples where I did just that. For my honors class, I had them do some primary source analysis, a crucial skill in historical thinking. For my general class, I wanted to approach it in a manner that students could relate to the material a bit more, so I had them do an activity in which they created their own set of laws based on similar issues of Justinian's Code, and we then compared that list to the way in which not only Justinian's Code viewed them, but also how our nation currently deals with the same issues. Please reference the attachments to further understand how I took two different approaches to emphasize the same content.
