Lesson Plan 2: Formative Assessment:

Formative: I will provide students with visuals about the different geographies that make
up the United States. I will also provide visuals and references about the different cultures
that are affected by geography. Students must write two sentences for each picture about
what part of the United States experience that geography.
Accommodation: Taylor can write down or type the answers into a word document if she
is feeling anxious and does not want to verbally tell the answer.

corner of the room if she is feeling anxious or in danger.
