Project One Proposal

a) This lesson is designed for 7th grade students who are in an inclusion class. Some of the students have been diagnosed with LD, autism, ADD, ADHD, EBD and some of the students are considered “on level”.
b) The characteristics of many of the 7th grade students with or without a diagnosis is that they are very easily distracted. My students with LD struggle greatly with the difficult vocab words.
c) Students are introduced to new vocabulary. Students will be able to use vocabulary words correctly to edit a “My Space” page at the end of the lesson.
d) Teacher will introduce the 12 words through Power Point and links to Inspiration. Students will have the choice to work on one of two puzzle links. The “quiz” at the end will assess student’s knowledge of the words.
e) The LD student will have the choice to read or have the text read to them with the Natural Reader. The student with Autism is VERY visual so the use of the Inspiration Map for each word will help this student to better understand. Using the “My Space” page for the quiz will engage that ADD/ADHD and typical 7th grade student who is easily distracted and easily bored with our vocabulary book.
