2. Other facets of learning as outlined by Wiggins and McTighe (1999) in their six facets of learning,

3. Other aspects of Marzano's (1992) dimensions of learning http://www.qis.net/~pparks/teachers.htm

Alternative activities could provide learning opportunties that replace the outlined student activity and that include modifications based on:

1. special needs

2. multiple intelligences

3. achievement levels
