the symbols used in the poster activity.
Homework: None.
Accommodations:
(M denotes male, F denotes female)
Herbert Millner (M)- ADHD: this student will receive preferential seating towards
the front of the classroom and will be allowed to take a walk to the water fountain
at the end of the hall if he becomes antsy.
Paten Vander (F)- Speech impairment: will not be required to speak in the
presentation.
Lya Gross (F)- Mild dyslexia: the teacher will be sure to stick to consistent
routines and repeat instructions clearly. Anything written will be written in a
large, clear font. This student will be allowed to use wide-ruled paper.
Oliver Fore (M)- Mild autism: the teacher will be sure to stick to consistent
routines. The student will have preferential seating towards the teachers desk. He
will not be required to speak in the presentation.
English language learners: will not be required to speak in the presentation.
Low SES: will be given time before the lesson while the rest of the class is
writing to use the in-class computers to watch the YouTube videos.
Plan B: There is no in-class technology used in this lesson, besides the timer and if the
Smart Board timer does not work then the teacher will keep track and post 5-minute and
2-minute warnings for the students on the front board. As for the at home technology, if
the students have not watched the video before coming to class and it is apparent that
they will be lost without the video then the video will be shown to the class before
beginning the worksheet. If the students finish their visual representations quicker than
the time allotted then they will be instructed to work with their group to establish who is
presenting what. If the activity or presentation exceeds the allotted time then the students
will have less time to independently read and that reading will be completed as
homework so that they stay on track.
