These Fourth of July activities review why Independence Day is a national holiday and how people celebrate it in a simplified yet rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs, helping them make meaningful and authentic connections to the material.

Students have many opportunities to engage in repeated information on this holiday.

Each digital activity comes in 2 versions. The original plus one with color-coding to add more visual support for students who need extra support. The unit also includes a link to a movie version of the book that students can watch online.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.

♥As always please take a moment to leave feedback or post any questions you may have.
