If a student masters the content quickly I would supplement and give them an
editors job and help students finish their step by step plan. They can help
students that are struggling in coming up with instructions that make sense
and give them ideas.
Meeting your students
needs as people and as
learners

If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural
backgrounds of your students?
One student was really interested in fishing; he explained his family goes as often as they
can. He could read a book on fishing and write a how to on how to bait and cast a line in
order to catch a fish.
2 students really enjoyed football and talked about the teams they both played on. One
student was a running back and the other was a wide receiver. They could write their
directions on a play in football. They could write a step by step of how to score a
touchdown or what a particular player is doing throughout the play.
One student was really interested in science and volcanos. He wanted to know more
about them and I think that he could read about volcanoes and explain either how to
build one as a science project or explain how the volcano erupts, or the stages of an
erupting volcano.
If applicable, how does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?
This lesson is applicable and connects and reflects to the local community because these
students play football in their local community and the other student fishes around the
local community. This lesson really allows each student to use their interests and what
they do around the community to be the center of their assignment.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
challenge during this lesson (enrichment)?

I would differentiate instruction by making sure that the books each students I
reading and doing their paper on is on a leveled reader. I would also allow
students to fill out a graphic organizer and draw pictures of their step by step
procedure.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
language support?
I would differentiate instruction for students who need additional language
support by finding more pictures, allowing more graphic organizers, working
with a partner in order to read their book.
Accommodations (If
needed)
(What students need specific
accommodation? List
individual students (initials),
and then explain the
accommodation(s) you will
implement for these unique
learners.)
Materials
(What materials will you use?
Why did you choose these
materials? Include any
resources you used. This can
also include people!)
