14. #3-Adapt & Personalize the Standards Standard Adapted standard Assessment Students will be able to use appropriate mechanics, usage, and conventions of language. When using his Alphasmart to copy sentences from the chalkboard, Ross will include all punctuation. Keep two work samples per week. Students will differentiate fact from opinion across texts. When given a paragraph of an informational text to read, Ross will identify one fact from that paragraph. Offer Ross an opportunity to practice this skill during science and social studies lessons. On a checklist, keep a record of how many times he answers correctly. Students will identify literacy elements in stories (e.g., characters, setting, plot). Using Kidspiration software, Ross will create a story map that includes at least three story events. Print and collect the map from each story. Review with Ross and provide feedback.
15. Standard Adapted standard Assessment Students will be able to use appropriate mechanics, usage, and conventions of language. During DOL, Tiala will (a) use the pointer to indicate the beginning of the sentence and (b) hand the pointer to peers as they approach the board. Videotape quarterly. Students will differentiate fact from opinion across texts. During the classroom exercise where students stand when they hear a fact and sit when they hear an opinion, Tiala will participate without prompts. Anecdotal reporting. Students will identify literacy elements in stories (e.g., characters, setting, plot). Using her TANGO communication device, Tiala will choose a character (e.g., frog, princess) for a group story from 5 possible options. Keep a checklist of options and selected choices.
