Plans for Differentiated Instruction/Accommodations

Special Education
Assisted and extra time would be given and adjusted as needed.
Students
ELPS C.4c Develop basic sign vocabulary, derive meaning of environmental
print, and comprehend English vocabulary and language structures used
routinely in written classroom materials
English Language
Learners ELPS C.1c Use strategic learning techniques such as concept mapping,
drawing, memorizing, comparing, contrasting, and reviewing to acquire basic
and grade-level vocabulary.

Potential Challenges/Plan B
If students are not able to grasp the lesson, I plan to level down to their previous year TEKS. In this case their last
year TEKS was 2.8 D ) and focuses on objects in the sky such as sun, moon, and earth.

If the students show signs of mastering the concept, I plan to add part of the next years standards, 4.8. I plan to
introduce the Sun’s role in weather due to Earths axis.
