I have used Venn Diagrams for comparing familiar pieces of literature with a new piece that the students will be sight-reading that day in class. I group the students by combining high level, middle level, and low level learners in the mixed level groups. Each student is accountable for contributing to the group effort. the students ahre the results with the rest of the class when they are finished with their Venn Diagrams. I then compile all of the response into one Venn Diagram and make copies to give the entire class for study purposes. This helps all students feel that they are part of the group as a whole. |

I had a student that was missing several fingers and she played percussion. Her parent actually created a drum stick and mallet to adapt to her hands so that she could play drums and keyboard percussion. |

I have a current student that has a plan that allows for more time as an adaption. I let her take more time to complete tasks that the other students without a plan. I actually also work closely with her one on one to make sure that she is progressing through the material and having success with less difficult tasks. |
