(1E) Other considerations (modifications,
accommodations, acceleration, ELL, etc

Connections (prior/future learning):

work and practicing for multiple choice items. They will
also investigate their own learning style.

All accommodations and modifications indicated in


student IEPs will be followed. Any needs of ELL

lesson.
(1C) Do Now: How to you learn the best? What methods
of learning help you gain knowledge and understanding?

In Class: We will discuss (and students will take class


notes) the way in which academic lessons are presented
in the classroom. We will investigate the ATC lesson plan
template that is used every week by all teachers to
present lessons to the students. We will also discuss
learning styles and why it is so important to address
different learning styles. Then, working in pairs (chosen
randomly), students will choose a piece from the Norton
Reader on which to build a mock lesson. They are each
required to generate two multiple choice items with
written analysis of the right answer, the distractor, and
each of the incorrect answers. Beyond this, they will use
the lesson plan template to create a mock lesson using
the reading. They will attempt to address different
learning styles as well as skills specific to the AP exam.
They will use the template as a guide and write the mock
lesson on notebook paper. An entire week must be
represented. Each element of the template will be
explained. Both the multiple choice items and the mock
lesson will be due at the end of class Friday.
THURSDAY

abilities in analysis of non-fiction work. They will show
