I like that you are adding vocabulary and graphic organizers. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768885 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768885 Sun, 03 Apr 2022 21:45:23 -0400 Both are great ideas for accommodations. Breaking the story up into smaller parts can help so much. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768882 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768882 Sun, 03 Apr 2022 21:41:50 -0400 I like the idea of the dialogue journals for reflection and comprehension. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768864 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768864 Sun, 03 Apr 2022 21:38:15 -0400 This sentence shows what she is looking forward to even though everything else is overwhelming. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768857 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768857 Sun, 03 Apr 2022 21:35:15 -0400 With me adding the drawing after the story and peer collaboration, the students could have a better understanding of the story. Also having pre-taught vocabulary can further assistance. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768854 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768854 Sun, 03 Apr 2022 22:57:15 -0400 I would use visual and linguistic support, as well as breaking down the reading into "chunks". This will help the students understand key words in smaller parts of the reading with pictures to clarify key words. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768848 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768848 Sun, 03 Apr 2022 21:29:52 -0400 words integral to comprehension. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768836 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768836 birthday, feelings, rattling, sweater, thinking,and remember Sun, 03 Apr 2022 21:17:34 -0400 I would utilize a word wall and class discussions as well as using pictures. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768832 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768832 I would have a list of key words for vocabulary. I would also have the class talk about birthdays, what they mean to them, and then we would talk about how we feel when we are sad or when someone makes us sad. Then after the story we will all draw a picture of what we remember in the story as well as putting notes on each picture of what we like about it. Sun, 03 Apr 2022 23:37:01 -0400
