Instructional Plan Title:

What’s so great about the Great Depression

Lesson Summary and Focus:

In our book, Bud not Buddy takes place during the Great Depression. With their research from a previous lesson, students will create a timeline with events from Bud not Buddy.

Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:

There are 3 students that are ELL, 4 students tier 2, 1 tier 3, and 3 gifted. There are 6 students 1 year below grade level, 1 student 2 years below grade level, and 2 students 2 years above grade level. As well as 3 students that are LD (class profile did not have a yes in the IEP/504 slot).

I will have to have access to the IEP (if applicable) for the students that are LD to follow what the document says. I will also have to have differentiation as well as modifications for the students that need it.

Explain how you will differentiate materials for each of the following groups:

· English language learners (ELL): These students will be able to use their text to speech app and their speech to text app. Also, I will have the events and years listed for these students. They are required

· Students with special needs: These students will be able to use their text to speech app and their speech to text app.

· Students with gifted abilities: These students will be able to work ahead of the group at their own pace.

· Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support): Will have their assignment looked over by me and then they can choose activities from the what to do when I’m done file.

Time Needed

25-30 mins

This might take more than 1 class period

Multiple Means of Engagement

For example:

· I will model one example of a date and event for the students. I will find the event in the book; I will then look up the date on my computer to see if it was really happening in the real world.

· I will have students work individually or with a partner in searching for the events/dates in the books and on their computers

Explain how you will differentiate activities for each of the following groups:

· English language learners (ELL): Students will have a premade list of events/dates and book pages to use. They will have to find their own pictures to use.

· Students with special needs: Students will have a premade list of events/dates and book pages to use. They will have to find their own pictures to use.

· Students with gifted abilities: These students will have an added component of finding 1st person proof of events in real life.
