Differentiated Projects for Gifted Students
As someone who has been teaching and tutoring for over 10 years, this is a practical book to add to one’s collection, whether working with a large or small group of students. Having the book written directly for the students allows for independent selection based on interest. Each entry reminds students to check their final products with their teachers, encouraging student-teacher communication concerning the independent work. The book covers a wide variety of subject matter, so it can also be used by students who excel in a multiple academic areas. This is a great resource for any teacher’s library.

Differentiated Projects for Gifted Students
As a teacher who has taught multiple grades and ability levels, I found this book extremely valuable. The ready-to-use, hands-on activities are easy to follow. The materials and steps are clearly defined. I like that gifted students can do the activities independently, but I could also do the activities whole-group and guide my students through the learning. I highly recommend this book for general education classes and gifted classrooms.

Differentiated Projects for Gifted Students
This textbook is truly a valuable resource for teachers of gifted students. The activites allow the student to expand their knowledge on a variety of topics, (geography, government, science, history, etc) while using different modalities (five senses, technology, etc). These gifted students are being allowed to take their knowledge a 'step further' by answering the question, "what if," pretending, brainstorming and doing hands on activities/experiments. I was also impressed with the authors stress on using 21st-century skills (internet research, Power Point, etc.)to elaborate and research relevant topics. I would highly recommend this textbook to gifted teachers.
