When modifying whole-class instruction to meet widely varying student needs, teachers sometimes insist that all students complete the basic work before moving to more engaging, interesting activities. This strategy is

b. effective, because in life, you often are expected to eat your vegetables before you get dessert, and the same principle applies to motivating students.
c. effective, because all students can access the engaging activities if they work diligently and efficiently.
d. ineffective, because low-achieving or unmotivated students may never make it to the fun and engaging activities.
