ILL/504/SpEd accommodations:
Because 2ND period is an inclusion class, Mr. Rocha, the class’s teaching aide, will be present during the
lesson.
Most of these students need a little extra time as well as verbal assistance with handouts, so the
teacher will be sure to rotate throughout the room during the lesson and provide this help when
needed.
Lesson Overview / teacher notes:
There is tons of material to cover in this lesson, so the teacher must be constantly aware of time and
keep the students moving so as to ensure that everything is completed with as much true
learning/understanding as possible.
The teacher will alternate between leading whole-group discussion/lecture and having students read
the content out loud, asking lower- and higher-level questions, and having students discuss content
with a neighbor.
