I currently have a student with Multiple Sclerosis. He is an active member of my theatre program and has been in several plays and musicals in his for years of high school. He has difficulties with movement, dancing, and going up stairs since he has to focus on every step he takes. There are moments where he has to walk on the ball of his feet if he's if he has to get somewhere on stage very fast. If there is a quick change required in a show, he needs dressers to help him especially with buttons and pants. When ever I build stairs for a show, I ensure that he has a strong railing and that the stairs are evenly spaced and not too steep. I make sure the choreographers know to simplify the steps for him and place him somewhere on stage where he's comfortable and seen. I check in with him frequently to make sure he's capable and comfortable with each scene that requires a lot of physical activity. |

In my classroom I use index cards to play quiz-quiz-trade. After taking Cornell notes on a unit, they create questions on one side of an index card and the answers on the other side of the index card. They stand in front of a partner and quiz each other on the subject matter. Students help each other by giving hints about the answer, once a student gets an answer correct they get to keep the index card. |

I have a couple of students with reading disabilities. In my assessments, whether a discussions, written test, or performance, I always post the test or discussion questions, or text/script on the board, then read whatever it is we're working on aloud to help them with fluency. I also mark and highlight important parts of questions. I also demonstrate how to mark the script for parts that are important to the plot sequence or character development. |
