EDLD+5364+Week+3+Reading+Reflection

This week’s work has been extremely difficult for me because my body went through some things that I have never experienced in my life this entire week. Fortunately, I did not have to go to the hospital and was glad to have survived and by midweek, I began to feel good enough to begin my UDL lesson. I plan to return and use this again in the future because everyday in my classroom my students experiences are so great and so varied that I know that they would benefit from lessons following the UDL guidelines. (D. Rose, 2002) Of course, finding a quicker way of creating e-books will be a bigger benefit. I really appreciate the opportunity to be able to hand a student a pair of headphones and have this tool to read the information to them at their own pace. They will be able to play and replay until they understand the text on a personal level. This is so necessary where many are lacking in reading skills. The modifications required for my deaf student include a sign language interpreter who is assigned to the student and follows the student from class to class. My main function and modification for this student is to make sure that I give clear and concise instructions so there won’t be any confusion during translation. There is also a place on the first page of the book for student reflection. The e-book includes various ways to collect and share information. =Bibliography= D. Rose, A. M. (2002, October 5).
