EDLD+5364+-+Week+3+Reflection+on+UDL+Lessson

This week I created my first lesson for ten Gifted and Talented students in the Second Grade. My lesson is titled Proper Nouns, and it is designed to incorporate and address UDL networks, UDL principles (Rose & Meyer, 2001), planning questions, categories of instructional strategy and categories of technology (Pitler, Hubbel, Kuhn & Melenowski, 2007). By introducing the subject with a fun cartoon video, I hope to capture the student’s interest and attention. By incorporating strategies that have been researched as effective tools for learning, I have built a plan that should satisfy the needs of diverse learners. I created a color key within my plan to indicate what element was being addressed. Rose, D., & Meyer, A. (2002). Teaching every student in the digital age: Universal design for learning.
