Week 2 DQ1 & 2 separate them ($25)

Week 2 - Discussion 1

Visit Teachnology’s website and select a phonics lesson from the Phonics Lesson Plans page. Analyze the lesson to determine what learning needs exist for a student with a learning disability (LD) in the classroom.  Then, using the article from LD Online, "Accommodations for Students With LD," generate a list of three to five possible accommodations, modifications, or assistive technologies that could be integrated into the lesson for a student with a learning disability.  Describe how you would integrate them into the lesson to ensure the student has access to learning, and provide a rationale for each accommodation or modification.  Also, note if these accommodations can be used as examples of universal design where all students might benefit.  Please be sure to share the link to the lesson plan you reviewed so others have context for the lesson plan you are using.

Week 2 - Discussion 2

Create a mini-lesson in phonics or oral language to teach a small group of students (group description below) using an evidence-based strategy from the textbook.   Plan a 15- to 20-minute mini-lesson that addresses the needs of all four students in the group through effective strategies and accommodations for the learners.  Respond briefly to the two reflection questions (in the template) about your lesson. Use this mini-lesson template to develop your mini-lesson, and then copy and paste it into the discussion forum to obtain feedback from your peers.

Small group description:
There are four students in this group who are in kindergarten.  One of the students is autistic, one student has an intellectual disability, and two are students with ADHD.  All four students are reading at the pre-Kindergarten level.
