Lesson Differentiation (Tiered)

I have this lesson plan:

[PASTE OR DESCRIBE YOUR EXISTING LESSON]

Create three differentiated tiers while maintaining the same
learning objective for all students.

Tier 1 -- Approaching grade level ([NUMBER] students):
- Additional scaffolding and support
- Concrete examples before abstract concepts
- Reduced complexity of task (NOT reduced expectations)
- Sentence frames, graphic organizers, or step-by-step guides

Tier 2 -- On grade level ([NUMBER] students):
- The lesson as designed with standard supports
- Independent practice with teacher monitoring
- Grade-level vocabulary and text complexity

Tier 3 -- Advanced ([NUMBER] students):
- Increased depth, complexity, or abstraction
- Open-ended tasks requiring analysis or creation
- Leadership or peer teaching opportunities
- Connections to broader concepts or real-world applications

For each tier, specify:
1. How the warm-up/hook is adjusted
2. What the guided practice looks like
3. What the independent work product is
4. How the exit ticket is modified
5. Materials needed for this tier specifically

Important: All tiers should feel equally rigorous and engaging --
no student should feel they got the "easy" or "boring" version.
