ADAPTATIONS / ACCOMMODATIONS
The students in this course have various learning needs and assets for the teacher to work with.
The formal assessment is comprised on 20 questions in which the students use matching, written
questions, reflections, and fill in the blank to represent their overall understanding of tennis. All
of the students will be given a test that has visual aids on the test, especially when asking
questions about the forehand stroke. The test will have visual representations of the skills that the
students have learned to hopefully supplement their memory and recall to the subject.
The test will accommodate to students who are English language Learners by having a
supplemental instruction, such as an aid that was provided to the students in lesson 2 that
explains the new academic terminology, scoring system, and cues. The students who need extra
time on tests will be allowed to spend extra time on the tests; whether that be after the test,
during lunch, or after school. The students who need to have the test read to them will have an
extra period or time frame allotted to hearing the test and responding to it on their SSR reading
period that the school provides.
