**__ Description of the Class __** The class consists of six students taught in a self-contained classroom in a Baltimore City Public School. The students all have an Individualized Education Plan, or IEP to help address their learning needs. The students have various disabilities including specific learning disability, speech and language disability, intellectual impairment, and other health impairments due to the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder. Two of the students are on Behavior Intervention Plans or BIPS to help address their behavioral needs within the classroom setting. Five of the six students are in fifth grade, and one of the students is in fourth grade. There are two full-time teaching staff members in the room, one special educator and one teacher’s assistant. The classroom is arranged with the student desks facing an interactive whiteboard (Promethean Board) in the front of the room. A computer station with three computers is located in the back of the room. To accommodate the students’ locations, a laptop is available that has wireless internet access. Two small-group tables are located in the middle of the room, one rectangle shaped table and one kidney shaped table. Off to the sides of the room are two teacher’s desks, student cubby areas for their jackets and book bags, and a time out area for students who need self-help or who earn a time-out for inappropriate behavior.

**__ Description of the Students __** The students work together in both heterogeneous and homogeneous ability groups throughout the school day. Cooperative learning strategies are used in many daily lessons to maximize the students’ ability to learn and support each other by focusing on students’ strengths to encourage growth in all students. Learning styles range from visual, verbal, kinesthetic, musical and intrapersonal. Each day, lessons are designed with activities that utilize multiple modalities. Within the unit, all of the modalities are utilized at least once. The five days of lesson plans focus on multiple intelligences in teacher instruction, learning activities and practice, as well as assessment. This unit will highlight meeting students’ needs using differentiation by multiple intelligences. The students work in reading in partner pairs that are homogeneously grouped based on reading levels and multiple intelligences. The students’ independent reading levels range from first grade to fifth grade based on informal assessments. In reading comprehension, the students’ levels range from first grade to upper third grade based on informal assessments. Within each reading lesson, the three centers focus on decoding, encoding, and reading comprehension each day. The students rotate between all three centers daily. All of the students receive accommodation and modifications, as well as supplementary aids according to their IEP’s. All of the students receive the reading accommodation of verbatim reading of all texts. One student receives a scribe accommodation, visual cues, and computer access for learning activities. Four of the students receive graphic organizers and/or visual organizers. Graphic and visual organizers are used on a daily basis during learning and testing situations. All of the students are taught and tested in a small-group with as many distractions eliminated as possible. Other accommodations, modifications, and supplementary aids are used on a daily basis, however the above listed are the most common and frequently used. According to a multiple intelligence survey given to each of the students and based on observational data, the students have a range of multiple intelligences. Majority of the students scored high in musical/rhythmic, bodily/kinesthetic, and verbal/linguistic on the survey. However, one student scored higher in the intrapersonal/introspective multiple intelligence category than his peers. None of the students exhibited high in the naturalistic multiple intelligence category, however the lesson plan still highlights ways the lessons could meet a person with naturalistic intelligence.

**__ Description of the Unit __** This unit is a reading unit that is the third unit of the year. The unit theme and lessons are adapted from the Imagine It! curriculum, published by SRA/McGraw Hill (Bereiter et al., 2008). The five lessons included in this unit plan are in the “A Changing America” unit. The unit theme and stories offer cross-curriculum topics that meet History and Reading VSC standards. All five lessons span one week of instructional time and focus on the story //A Covered Wagon Girl: The Diary of Sallie Hester, 1849-1850.// According to the Imagine It! curriculum guide, the entire unit lasts 6 weeks and approximately 30 days. Within the unit, there are five stories that each last one week, and one week spent on developing the students’ conceptual understanding of the unit’s theme. Each of the stories provide a different time period in America’s history, starting with the colonies, and ending with the Civil War. In order to embed the students’ IEP skills, each story is taught over a two week period. In the unit, cooperative learning strategies and structures are used throughout the unit. Multiple intelligences are also used, as well as alternative assessments, technology, and differentiation. The lesson plan format was provided by Johns Hopkins University and is adapted from Kristin Sayeski’s lesson plan organizer.

 * ==== ** Daily Objectives ** ====

** Relevant IEP Goals: ** · Sight word fluency (D.A., N.C., K.P, and E.S.) · Before reading comprehension strategies (E.S.) · Fluency reading vowel diphthongs (D.A., Q.B., D.P., and K.P.) || <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.05in; text-indent: -0.05in;">(Estimate amount of time per section.)
