Overview: Chapter 3 in our book by Dr. Cantu discusses the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of learning and their relationship to lesson planning. The picture above shows the advantages of the jigsaw method, which is an instructional strategy that can be used to incorporate differentiation of instruction into the classroom. In my screencast, I discuss the use of flexible grouping in my novice teaching placement as a means of fostering student engagement and appealing to the three major cognitive domains.

Big Question: What methods can we use as teachers to meet all of our students' learning domains?

Interactive Website: Part of this chapter focusses on using mind maps as a visual method to maintain a central focus when working from an objective in lesson planning (a strategy that can also be applied to differentiating lessons for students). The web app at this link is called Bubbl, and it is a free mind-map generating site with templates to get you or students started.
