Lesson Activity 2

For my lesson activity, I plan to use a total of three tools. The lesson the students are receiving is one on the Animal Classes (mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish, arthropods). They will receive all of their information about the animal classes from a powerpoint presentation. Afterward, they will participate in one of two activities.

For students with no learning disabilities/hindrances, they will participate in a group Kahoot quiz. Students will be required to use their own name for the quiz and will receive participation points for playing in the quiz. They will be required to use devices in order to play on the Kahoot, but hopefully, those will be provided by the school. (Most schools have iPads now anyways). The Kahoot quiz will help students solidify what they have learned. They may use notes for the quiz, but it would be better if they didn't. This option, of course, has its limitations, especially for those who are ESL/ELL learners or deaf/hard at hearing. Students may have trouble reading the prompts or may not do well in that sort of setting.

For students who prefer to participate in an alternative assignment, they will have the option to make a Flip Grid video. Flip Grid is great for students with ESL/ELL requirements because it allows them to stop and think about what they are trying to say before they actually say it. It also allows deaf/hard at hearing students to use sign language for their responses. Kahoot is very rushed. There is a twenty-second time limit for students using it.

I've decided that for students who miss class due to illness or reasons a Skype recording of the lesson will also be available. Students who miss can learn what they missed while being at home. Students who were in class can also look back on the skype recording if they find that they are missing notes or need brushing up on the lesson from class.

Overall, the tools I have picked can cover a wide range of requirements for my students. They cover ESL/ELL learners and deaf/hard at hearing students. They also cover the students who just happen to miss class. It is, so far, a decent way to help my students participate in whatever they can.
