Differentiation:
For the students that are ESOL (English Speakers of Other Languages)
those students have additional time to complete the tasks and/or
watch the videos more that once. The students that have speech RTI
plans had additional time to think of discussion answers and could
work in small groups. The students were placed in small groups with

the teacher if they needed assistance with Plagiarism vocabulary or

tasks.
Classroom Materials:
In Mrs. Rowleys class there is a smart board and 5 student computers.
So as we were completing the lessons we worked in her classroom with
those pieces of technology, then we met in the computer lab for the
second and third lesson so that each student could have a computer to
play the games, view the videos, and complete the assessment. Each
student had headphones or was provided with some. The computer
lab is equipped with more than 20 Chrome books.
