Black History Month BUNDLE for Special Education

This bundle contains my complete units on: Martin Luther King Jr (also includes Rosa Parks), Harriet Tubman, and Slavery. Has over 200 pages of material specifically designed for students with autism and special learning needs. It addresses this difficult subject in a respectful and simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material. There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on Black History. This repetition encourages true appreciation and personal connections to this civil history. Finally, many of the activities include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation and options for presentation. There is also a social story included addressing why we have to learn about difficult topics such as slavery.

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. 

♥I am currently developing more units, and any feedback I get helps me make improvements in the future.
