Scenario 1
Your class is comprised of 25 students you are the exceptional student education support facilitator in the class. This means that you go into the class several times a day for specific content areas (e.g., Science). There are 21 typically developing students in the class and 4 students with a-typical development. Although most typically developing students are at grade level, some are not and they often need assistance with vocabulary. Also the ESE students consist of a child with specific learning disabilities (SLD) who is functioning two years below and has difficulty with phonics. A student with Autism who is on grade level phonetically but has difficulty with comprehension and wanting to go to the computer. There are also two students with Other Health Impairment (OHI) due to ADHD; they are on grade level for comprehension but have difficulty initiating or completing tasks.You have been asked by the classroom teacher to create a lesson plan for next week.
Scenario 2 There are 22 students in your designated “Inclusion” class. The designation of inclusion means that although there are two teachers (general education and ESE teacher) in class close to 50% of the students have a disability. The disabilities include 4 students with SLD; two having difficulty with phonics and two with comprehension. There are 3 students with ADHD; two having significant memory difficulties and one having difficulty with organizational skills. One two has intellectual disabilities and is on a modified curriculum. He is on an access point curriculum. Your co teacher asks that you develop lesson plan for coming week. Scenario 3 Although you are the resource ESE teacher at your school , in the afternoon you are the coteacher for Science class. There are 28 students in that class. Three are students with SLD; one having difficulty with phonics and the other two with abstract comprehension (e.g., making inferences). There are two OHI students; one with Epilepsy who has seizure activity weekly and this has impacted his comprehension. The other student is ADHD and Gifted. He has difficulty completing tasks and projects. It is your responsibility to develop the lesson plan for the coming week.

Set: Teacher will ask students what their favorite childhood story is. As students bring up their memories, the teacher will ask them what the main plot was of those stories to get them in the right frame of mind for the lesson. The teacher will share the historical background of the stories and their authors when applicable. Then, the teacher will introduce The Little Red Riding Hood. Modeled Instruction / Demonstrate: When the first student shares their childhood story, the teacher will make two different graphic organizers (sequence chart and main idea web) and follow along with that student. This is a demonstration of how to use the graphic organizers. Shared Instruction / Guide: The teacher will make several web charts and sequence charts on the board and fill out the spaces as students describe their favorite childhood stories. Together the teacher and students will decide what material is written on which side of these graphic organizers. Students may also write on the board if they request. Guided Practice / Collaborative Learning: Students will read The Little Red Riding Hood in turns alongside the teacher. The teacher will take breaks for students to write in their own graphic organizer. Together, students and teachers will research the historical background of the author and time period. Students will use ½ graphic organizers shown earlier in the lesson. Independent Practice / Independent Learning: Students use their own graphic organizer and read another European folktale from that time of their choice. Alongside that, students will break out into groups and research the historical background of the authors and the time when the story of their choice was written. They can share their research with one another. Closure: Students will effectively retell the main plot of their story and the historical background of it in a minimum of 3 paragraphs, using their graphic organizers as outlines. |
