Classroom Diversity and Differentiated Instruction [Describe student diversity and related aspects of lesson and how instruction will be adapted]:

Diversity:

This lesson is being prepared for a group of 18 students who will be broken up into five groups of four based on their learning styles and learning levels. This group of students consists of learners who are at varying abilities and cover all three types of learning styles; auditory, visual, and kinesthetic.

Differentiation:

There are four students with visual impairments who will work with a teaching assistant, have their resources made on the braille printer, and will be accommodated by being given priority seating in the front of the classroom or directly in front of the teacher during carpet time. Their tactile timeline assessment will also be made on the braille printer and the students will be asked to present it to the class.

There are three students with learning disabilities who will participate in the whole group lesson, will be given visual aids to reference during lesson, and will be given pictures to cut-and-paste into a flow map. They will be asked to present their flow map to the class.

There are four students who are at a lower level and will require a little extra time to comprehend and complete the assignments. They will participate in the whole group lesson, be given extra time, and their assessment will be a timeline that they will cut-and-paste onto a stove-pipe hat.

There are seven students who will be broken up into two groups; one of three and one of four. These students will participate in the whole group lesson with the rest of the class. These students were asked to come up with two activities that they would like to do for this lesson. They have decided that one group will write a letter to a friend or family member telling, in detail, about the life and contributions of Abraham Lincoln. The second group will be creating a detailed poster timeline of the life and contributions of Abraham Lincoln. Each group will be asked to present their project to the class.
