Nearly every lesson I produce contains video, audio or visual elements. I believe this is the best way to differentiate instruction and engage students immediately. 

Some students have a hard time speaking up in class. In order to promote communication for everyone, I created a blog where students can voice their opinion of the literature they read. Practcing voicing their thoughts online can make them more confident in front of their peers.
