3 students and will go to their numbered station. As they move
from station to station, they will discuss their possible answers and
complete the worksheet. (10 minutes)

LITERACY LESSON PLAN

Representation:
UDL or Different • Foldables will provide examples for students to follow
Means of • Visual examples – Visual Real-Life Examples are provided
Representation, • Auditory examples – YouTube Video provided at the beginning of
Engagement/ lesson.
Motivation, and
Expression Engagement:
• What is the purpose of the lesson? Students will learn the purpose
right from the beginning for Engagement.
• Interactive Foldable
• Hands-on activity
• Pair-Share: Students have to communicate with their team to
complete the Gallery Walk.

Expression:
• Students will move around the classroom to complete the Gallery
Walk.

When I have to teach hard geometry concepts for my students, I always

incorporate easy-to-follow foldables that will get rid of all confusion that
students usually struggle with. For my ELL’s, I have a English/Spanish
Word Wall that they can use to translate words if they are having
Analyzing: difficulties. Also, I have them paired up with other students who speak
Reflecting and both languages so that they can help each other. The activities in these
Applying lessons are perfect for my students who are slow in learning and have
ADHD because they are short-timed. The longest activity takes 10
minutes to complete. Students are always engaged in them.

Literacy Component: This whole lesson has literacy components included

in the activities, even though it’s a math lesson. Students must define
vocabulary words, use them in real-life examples, and define them
visually as well.

The Gallery Walk is always a success in my classroom because students

are communicating with each other and debating their answers. They are
using the vocabulary, defining them, and making sense of them with their
own real-life examples.
