Modifications/Accommodations

Teacher will help by leading discussion. If some students have trouble with class
discussions, they are able to come to me after the lesson to give some
discussion answers. I will be helping
students in need with identifying William’s traits and comparing him to
themselves.
I will also be available to help students with their wordle. During this time I will also have a
teacher’s aid assist those in need with the creation.
Students who need extra enrichment will be comparing and
contrasting themselves to William.
