Accommodations for Students Providing Unit and Lesson objectives to the students Including group activities in the classroom Providing verbal and written instructions for assignments Integrating technology into the assignments Realigning lessons if the material is too easy or too hard Using hands-on activities in the classroom Setting the pace of the lesson based upon the learners Providing notes and a plan of action daily for the students to follow Modifying lessons as necessary for students with IEPs

5. Survey Statements/Motivational Techniques a. Notes/Class Discussion: i. Students will take notes and/or have a lecture/discussion daily to discuss the contents of each chapter. ii. The instructor will formatively assess student learning daily during the opening and closing portions of the lesson as topics from the previous class and that class will be reviewed and reinforced. b. Project: i. Students will complete two projects during the course of the Tutorial. One project will be the Chapter Exercises, which will be done as a class to ensure student understanding of the material. The second project will be a Homecoming Web Page that the students will complete at the end of the Tutorial.

ii. Points will be awarded for completion of the projects based on a scoring rubric. iii. Students will be given class time to complete the projects. c. Other exercises to increase student learning: i. Students will be given one pop quiz during the Tutorial as a notebook check. Students will be allowed to use their notes ONLY during the pop quiz. ii. Students will have several review sessions during the course of the unit. These review sessions are designed to formatively check for student understanding and provide students with an idea of the testable material. 6.
