Extension Activity and/or Homework One extension activity that is appropriate for April with her peers on the 1st day is asking them to provide meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grade 4 reading and contents they read.
One extension activity that is appropriate for them on day 2 is asking them to pair, provide topics and pertinent ideas that support the topics.
On the 3 write on a topic of their choice using content vocabulary words, phrases and ideas they think best support it while at home and bring it for assessment.
Rationale
Given that April has a language impairment, performs below the mean for her chronological age, has difficulty with reading comprehension, semantics, and morphological processing, lacks organizational skills for writing and struggles with word choice leading to her struggle with reading and written expression, she requires tailored instructions. Therefore she needs instructions that she can choose from so as to self-differentiate her learning. Throughout the 3 day lesson plan, her academic and behavioral needs are also met because the instructional choices combat apathy, helping her connect with her strengths and interests. They also gives her more autonomy, power, and control over her work, which boosts her intrinsic motivation as noted by Iacono (2019). In the first lesson, she is for instance able to identify words with multiple meanings. She is also able to choose a topic and support it with ideas. Through writing, she is able to convey her understanding of the topic thus improving her expression.
Since she has a language impairment, has difficulty with reading comprehension, semantics, and morphological processing, and struggles with word choice, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems as well as assistive technology (AT) come handy. According to Elsahar et al., (2019), the visual and hearing aids as part of the AT supplement both her speech and writing skills. These enable her produce and comprehend spoken and written language. They also enable her to understand word parts, vocabulary, and multiple meanings of words. The visualization of words using visual aids helps her visualize words and give her frames to practice with both spoken and written language. It should be noted that the choice-
