Students With Disabilities

I had taught a student with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and as a result had difficulty with imagined circumstances for character creation. However, after some individual attention, I realized that while he didn't understand the point of making characters off of a script, he could build characters using roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. So instead of using the usual methods of character creation (scene, era, plot, analysis) we started assigning qualities to the 20 sided dice used to create characters. |

Tools And Strategies

As a theatre teacher, it is part of my general routine to use many of these strategies. Specifically though, I will use multiple graphic organizers when analyzing plot and character. For instance, we will use T-charts to express subtext. We also will use peer partnering to practice scenes as the practices outlined in this section were almost beat for beat the same as creating a two person scene. |

Assessment of Learning

I will use adapted assessments to give students with disabilities an opportunity to express their understanding in ways they are more comfortable. Whether I am using verbal, artistic, written, etc... I understand that many of my standards do not require a uniform expression so if a student is able to express themselves in another way, I am happy to allow them. For instance, I will routinely assess students' reflection journals by allowing them to paint/draw/model their learning. |
