REFLECTION
MODIFICATIONS/ACCOMODATIONS:
English Language Learner:
For those students who have difficulty
understanding my lecture I will have a worksheet
created that lists the main characteristics of the
Romantic Period in simpler terms and with
provided definitions so they can always go back
and re-read if they have any problems at home.
These students will be asked to do the slideshow
just like the rest of the class because it requires
no English proficiency to complete. As for the
reflection that goes with the collage, English
Language Learners will be asked provide three
sentences instead of a page long reflection. I am
also always available to students for extra help
after school and am open to any modifications
that are reasonable to the curriculum and
comfortable for the student.
Students will be able to create visual
representations of their knowledge of
Romanticism through a technological
devices.
