How will you and the students assess where the learning
objectives, listed above, were met?
I am really proud of the organizer I made for the students, and how effectively my
differentiation worked. From here, even if students completed more than their
must-dos in the graphic organizer, we will start them on their writing piece with
their must-dos and require those elements to be included in their published piece.
From there they will be more than welcome to add other elements to their writing.
The graphic organizer with sentence starters and fill in the blanks was appropriate
for my students rather than questions. It moved them efficiently through getting
their thoughts on paper and allowed us to stay on schedule. Overall, I really loved
this lesson and cannot wait to see how the rest of the progression goes.
When completing these two sections, you need to describe, if appropriate, how you will ensure that students will access the material based on the accommodations or
modifications listed within the IEP or 504 plan. There should be a direct connection within the Anticipatory Set, Instructional Activity, and Closure section of the lesson
plan template.
