Making, Sharing, and Justifying Predictions
This set of lessons explores exceptionalities by having students activate their prior knowledge through a whole class carousel brainstorm activity. Then, they identify what they would like to better understand about exceptionalities and view a video of testimonials to help develop their understanding. Finally, they experience the world through the eyes of a person with exceptionalities who narrates a short story. Students make predictions about the plot at various checkpoints through the narrative, and, in groups, students make, share, and justify their predictions with textual support.
