Case Study Class: Science Lesson Plan You will need to prepare a science lesson plan for the case study class. The class is a junior high-level class, and is studying any TEKS you choose from the junior high science range. The case study class includes the following students:
• One student who uses PSE/contact sign language and reads on a second grade level.
• One student who is oral/aural and reads on a second grade level.
• One student who uses ASL and reads on a third grade level.
• One student who has a learning disability, uses sign language, and reads on a first grade level.
• One student who uses Signed English and reads on a fourth grade level, and who is mainstreamed for all courses except yours, and ELA/Reading. HINT: Do not confuse “reading level” with mental/cognitive ability!
Make sure you include all relevant components of a lesson plan, in a structured and formal format, when you turn in this assignment. You will want to include…
• TEKS Science Objectives
• Activities
• Strategies for Effective Instruction like…
• Pre-teaching
• Authentic Learning Experiences
• Authentic Context
• Visual Learning
• Comprehension Monitoring
• Cooperative Learning
• Asking Questions
• Vocabulary
• Modifications/Accommodations for Each Student [you can estimate what these might be]
• Evaluation/Assessment for Activity
• Homework
• List and describe two resources that provide helpful Science information to teachers of students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• Give a description of the resource and what can be found within it.
• Give an example of when you might use this resource in your classroom
