to 3 clearly-written objectives).
I will give the students the option to write and draw observations
MODIFICATIONS/ACCOMMODATIONS AND EXTENSIONS
Changes to lesson plan for Special Needs Students and/or Advanced Learners
What specific changes for specific children will you need to ensure learning for children on IEPs
(refer to IEPs) or others with learning differences or those who need more of a challenge?)
For the student with ADHD I will make sure he is able to be standing up while making his
observations. I will also try to spend a little more time talking to him and trying to get verbal
observations from him because he usually does not write a lot.
I will pair one of the ELL students who speaks a fair amount of English with an English speaking
student
I will pair the two students who speak little English with the student who translates for them
I will ask those students who are ELLs to draw their observations.
ASSESSMENT How do you plan to assess the students learning of the objectives of the
lesson? If the objectives are written focusing on specific actions that the students are expected to
be able to perform as a result of the lesson, the assessment should show whether the students
were able to perform those actions, and whether they did so effectively. NOTE: Assessment has
to be documented. Example: Using a classroom checklist/notes information will be recorded for
record keeping and future planning.
I will keep notes on what the students are saying what they think the mystery object is while I
am walking around, I will collect their notebook pages where they will write down the guess
they would like to make. Finally, I will take notes and ask open ended questions when we are
having a group discussion after inspecting the object.
IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES (How will you begin the lesson and how will you carry
it out? What materials and resources will you use? Also, consider grouping strategies and
deliberate closure of the lesson).
NOTE: What do you need to do next in the schedule now that the lesson is over? (For example,
Transition students to PE, Specialist, next subject)
POST REFLECTION ON LESSON Did the students learn what you planned for them to
learn? What worked? What didnt? What would you do differently next time? What have you
learned that will inform future instruction?)
