Student Needs
Which student(s) will you check on first during writing time? Why?
Students that werent successful in changing their adjectives into imagery.
What may be difficult for students? What will you do (proactively and/or reactively) to help them overcome these challenges?
Finding the vocabulary to create imagery. I can bring in definitions of new words to help.
Checking on students who have trouble writing and giving them sentence starters to push their
direction
finding key details has always been a hard task for my students. Considering its a factor in their
disability, it is something we constantly work on and have to emphasize through class content. If
students are struggling in this, I can help by walking around and prompting questions. I can also train
my EAs on the key details of each text to guide them as they read alongside students.
