Butterfly Life Cycle Unit for Special Education PRINT and DIGITAL

The butterfly life cycle includes print and digital activities and was developed for students with autism and special learning needs.

The materials are designed to allow students with multiple levels of learning to access and engage in science lessons on the butterfly life cycle.

There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on the butterfly life cycle.

There are daily group and individual activities including circle maps, sorting, sequencing, and assessments.  This repetition encourages a better understanding of the butterfly life cycle.

Finally, many of the activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

✩✩✩ This unit contains digital versions of most of the activities in this unit. There are 34 google slides (includes a set fully differentiated set) and a movie of the book included in this unit.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated into 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.
