This unit on the Magna Carta contains almost 100 pages plus 18 google slides of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism. This unit addresses the history and importance of the Magna Carta in a 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 learning about this important document as well as King John and what was happening in the early 1200s. This repetition encourages a true understanding of the importance of the Magna Carta and its impact on future democracies. Finally, many of the activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

✩✩✩This unit has digital versions of the activities. There are 18 slides and a movie version of the book. See the video preview for a walk through of the slides.

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.
