Introduction My class is a 7 th grade Science class which consist of 20 students total, 11 females-9 males, 4students are special needs and 2 are ELLs) disabilities include 2 diagnosed with ADHD, 1 with a SLD, 1 with epilepsy, 2 ELL students. I plan to arrange the class to where everyone is integrated so that everyone is connected. Because every student is unique and they learn in various ways, it is important to provide an inclusive classroom. This way everyone feels accepted by their uniqueness with no reservation. During this unit students will learn to manage self-motivation, personal goals, appropriate behaviour, and resourcefulness, sense of self and importance of heritage. The Big Picture "Because students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas, the standards promote the literacy skills and concepts required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines"(2014, CCSS). What is the content area? English Common Core State Standard: English Language Arts Standards Measurable Unit Objective: What you want the students to master at the end of the unit 1. The students will (demonstrate) by (reading comprehension activities) with (70% of accuracy) 2. The students will (explain) by ( writing essays) with (70% of accuracy) Evidence of learning through assessment  Pre-assessment: a way to determine what students know about a topic before it is taught. It should be used regularly in all curricular areas o To make instructional decisions about student strengths and needs o To determine flexible grouping patterns o To determine which students are ready for advance instruction  Formative Assessment: Summaries and Reflections Students stop and reflect, make sense of what they have heard or read, derive personal meaning from their learning experiences, and/or increase their metacognitive skills. These require that students use content-specific language. o Visual Representations of Information Students will use both words and pictures to make connections and increase memory, facilitating retrieval of information later on. This “dual coding” helps teachers address classroom diversity, preferences in learning style, and different ways of “knowing.”  Summative Assessment: Design a summative assessment that will measure the student’s level of unit mastery. You must include how this assessment addresses UDL principals, DI theory, and takes into account your diverse student population. Various homework assignments that include copying vocab and lit. Terms into their notes, vocab worksheets Completion of graphic organizer for each story pop quizzes individual story quizzes unit test written essay.
