Using Differentiated Instruction in the Teaching Profession

Based on the book, The River, by Gary Paulsen, this interdisciplinary raft project, you will construct a raft only using items that you might find in the wilderness. Brian had to construct a raft using logs to travel on and vines to bind the logs together. His raft was approximately 8 feet long x 5 1⁄2 feet wide. In addition to the water weight that he gained as he traveled down the river, he also had to figure out his weight along with Derek’s to determine if the logs would hold. The total weight was approximately 320 lbs.
