Teachers can tailor the Gallery Walks to three difficulty levels to meet students’ needs. 

• Beginner learners (6-7 years old): (Grades 1-2): The children can barely read or write yet. They mainly draw on the posters. The groups do not write text feedback, but stick tiny, pre-cut symbols (e.g., smiley face, lightbulb for a smart idea). A separate opinion means if someone in the 3-person group wants to stick a different kind of sticker than the available pre-cut symbols or draw something else next to the poster.
• Advanced learners (8-9 years old): (Grade 3): Students express themselves with shorter sentences. They can write a shared, agreed-upon compliment phrase (1-2 words) next to the poster. The group is able to handle sticking two different post-its at the station: one they agreed on, and one with a team member’s separate opinion.
• Expert learners (9–10 years old): (Grade 4): The children can read and understand the feedback left by previous groups. They can debate and argue within the small group. They can explain their separate opinion in text form (e.g., “We think differently because…”) and also leave questions for the original creators of the poster.
