Students are given a tic-tac-toe board of tasks to complete or questions to answer. Students choose a combination that would win a tic-tac-toe game.
Depending on the tasks on the board, the board could be differentiating the content and process by the student's interest and learning profile. To differentiate by readiness, create different boards at differing levels or direct students how to "win" the game (choose all across, etc.).
