Two strategies that I currently use are mnemonic instruction and cooperative learning. For mnemonic instruction, we use visual arm and hand movements to cue the definition of a word. (Ex. We do an ostinato while saying what an ostinato is. So, when I ask "What is an ostinato?" all of the students will respond with the definition and the body percussion ostinato.) With cooperative learning, they have turn and talk partners that they work in. They are also assigned to color groups for larger group projects. When we are using instrument flashcards or composing their own ostinato, they usually work with their partners or with their color group. These are the people that they sit by in class, so they learn to work together as a class unit. |

- Describe an example of adapted assessment you have successfully used in the fine arts classroom for students with disabilities: I have large craft sticks that are color coded for different assessments. One color means this/that. The vocabulary words are still written on the craft sticks, but in different colors, so if the students are unable to read the letters, the colors can help them with the right answers.
