Mood and Tone Unit for Special Education PRINT AND DIGITAL

Mood and tone are the focus of this 150 page plus 36 google slide unit developed for students with autism and other special learning needs. This unit has various activities to help students understand what mood and tone are important as well as how they are alike and different. The materials are designed to allow students with multiple levels of learning to access and engage in the activities either through cut and paste worksheets or digitally through google slides. There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on recognizing mood and tone why they are important. This repetition encourages a deeper understanding of this concept.

*****This unit includes digital versions of the activities. There are 36 google slides (includes a differentiated set) and a movie version of the book.

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, we can ask students questions that 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.
