called Kids who fought for Change Just by looking at the article what
do you think the story might be about? It is important to make

Targeted Students Student/Small Group Modifications/Accommodations

Modifications/Accommodations:
For student who may struggle more with reading
they are pulled out first thing in the morning by the
reading teacher so they will be missing my lesson.
If they were present though when we got into
independent work I would work more with them.
I would pull a group to the back table if they are
struggling. We will go through the questions together
pointing about key points, and looking for the answers to
the questions. When we find them we will underline them.
We will also read questions before we read the article.

Materials/Technology: Scholastic Issue Edition 4, Chromebooks, worksheet, pencil

Reflection on lesson: This was my first lesson taught, and I was a little worried because I was not yet familiar
with the class. It went better than I expected, and the teacher provided with great feedback that I could use on
my lessons later in the week .
