Colonial America Unit for Special Education PRINT and DIGITAL

This unit on life in Colonial America was created for students with autism and special learning needs in later elementary and middle school.

This unit on colonial America explores what life was like for the colonist in early America.

There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on how Native Americans lived depending on their location.

Many activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

This unit includes digital versions of the printable activities and movie versions of the books. The slides come with and without differentiation so you can create the perfect set quickly for each student in your class.

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 assimilate what is being taught fully. 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, asking students good questions will push them to think more deeply than before.
