Consideration of Learners:
How have you responded to your diverse learners? Consider UDL (Multiple means of Engagement, Representation,
Action & Expression) & principles of differentiation. If appropriate, identify individual accommodations you will make
in response to needs or interests of students.
The three videos present both audio and visual supports in terms of engagement and representation. Using student
computers for the Kahoot! Quiz also provides another means of engagement. Students can track their progress on the
Kahoot! as well, while remaining anonymous if desired. With this RL.5.7 standard, and therefore with the aligned
assignment, students are considering various means of action and expression. They are being asked about music, voice,
colors, etc. Students are being read to by the teacher, as well as reading a small portion round-robin style, both
supporting understanding for struggling readers. The character map is similar in the fact that it allows students to create
a visual representation of the relationships between and personality traits of characters. I will also make physical
accommodations for my one student in a wheelchair by leaving a space for her at the table.
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT: Note any specific ways you will use the environment to contribute to the learning.
I will arrange the tables to make one large table in which students can all sit together. This will foster more effective
discussion. I will also make physical accommodations for my one student in a wheelchair by leaving a space for her at
the table and avoiding any activities in which she would need to move through tight spaces or sit at any other level than
what her chair allows.
DOMAIN 3: INSTRUCTION
CONTENT MANAGEMENT: YOUR INSTRUCTION
Motivation/Opening/Intro: [Think creatively about how to recruit learning.]
● Do a quick Kahoot! quiz over Chapters 1-5 as a memory refresher (it has been approximately 2.5 weeks since
Lesson 2). Students will sign in on their own computers and may use their first name or an appropriate
anonymous username to sign in. Teacher will need to project the quiz screen onto the TV via airplay.
Development: [It may help to number your steps with corresponding times.]
● Read the first three verses of “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou aloud to students.
● Show the three video interpretations (play only the first three verses) of the poem.
● Have students jot down ideas on Lesson 3 Assignment. Go over answers for the first one together, making sure
students have down adequate answers.
● Briefly go over the whole chart focusing mostly on the second part of each box (how the element affects the
tone of the text).
● Read Chapter 6 to aloud students.
● Have students complete Lesson 3 Assignment.
● Read Chapter 7 round robin style.
● Ask students to turn and talk about the following:
○ While all the other students talk about Jessica behind her back, Tom feels awful about it. He wants to tell
them to stop, but he can’t. What makes it so hard for Tom to tell them to stop talking about Jessica?
○ Why do you think he cares?
○ Would you tell your fellow students to stop talking about someone that way? What would you say?
Closure: (Be creative and consider authentic audiences for the work. Think beyond giving an assignment or
independent practice.)
● Read Chapter 8 aloud to students.
● Ask students: What does Tom’s mom mean that talking to Jessica might help her?
● Give time to update character map with Jessica, as well as more traits existing characters.
