Special Education Assessment Lesson Plans

In the first section, young scholars will create a diorama, that includes a local habitat and shows the plants, animals, and non-living components needed to sustain the area. Students will be using their notes and learning logs for reference, as well as doing research to ensure that they have a viable habitat. In the second section, young scholars write a test. Teachers will assess the expectations using information collected from both activities.

Eighth graders are exposed to different types of media in order to investigate the tendency of being exposed to a set of values that run contrary to conservative values. They role play a television program in order to communicate the values of the writers.

First graders investigate the use of energy resources in the community. Using the tools of research and surveys in order to gather information about home and business energy usage they analyze the information in order to come up with ways to conserve energy.

Sixth graders examine the culture and celebrations associated with Chinese New Year in this unit of lessons

Third graders research the life of a pioneer child. Through the use of the internet and other sources, 3rd graders collect and organize information about pioneer children. They create a journal, using complete sentences, explaining their information. Students revise and edit their work.

Students examine the way habitats and human organ systems function. In groups, they role play the role of a government group assigned to determine if a settlement can make their home in a specific area. They must discover how humans and the environment might be effected if the area is settled.

Students investigate the concept of structures and how they are used in nature and the world of human civilization. The structures have various types and functions that are identified. They create mechanisms to help move objects during simple lab projects.

The young scholars will be given opportunities to work independently and in teacher-directed situations to study and discover the many facets of light and sound, and the uses of energy in our environment. The grade 4 students will learn the properties and characteristics of light and sound. They will construct optical devices and musical instruments that demonstrate their knowledge.

Students participate in a Science and Technology unit designed to introduce the particle theory through drama, demonstrations, and hands-on investigations. They assume the role of engineers and design and build a hot tub for their community pool. Project is divided into subtasks in order to integrate necessary information for culminating task.

Students complete assessments showing their strengths and weaknesses of their reading and writing skills. Students complete a computer reading test and write a story.
