For Seminar 5, we ask you to read Mina Solberg's MA thesis (2017) about differentiation in English classrooms in the 9th grade (87 pages). Please pay particular attention to how classroom observations identified differentiation related to reading comprehension.

When reading this MA thesis, we suggest you pay particular attention to her analysis of the text-based instruction and the methodological aspects of her MA thesis.

Consider the following aspects:

Text-based instruction: First, we suggest you search for this phrase in the PDF document and identify how Mina refers to and uses it. You will find this phrase across chapters; in the summary, theory, methods, findings, and discussion.
Comparison: Then, we recommend that you compare the text-based instruction Mina identified in S02 and S50, as they are quite different. For your own MA thesis, identifying differences will be both relevant and interesting.
Methods: Finally, read through the methods chapter to get ideas for your project description in DIFO4001 and for your written assignment in EDID4001. Which descriptions do you find to be relevant for your own MA project?

NB: This MA thesis is 60 credits - the double of what your theses will be, so if it seems like too much, it is.
