Perhaps challenge the high achievers by personally contacting them and asking them additional thought-provoking questions, or to provide alterante ways of addressing activities.

Active Learning

I am always looking for new methods to enhance active learning in the classroom. I like anything that involves small group preparation, student research and presentation of their findings, and anything that encourages them to excel on their own and think critically. Beyond the games and small group discussions that many of us do, does anyone have a gem to share with us?
