Types of Style Unit for Special Education PRINT AND DIGITAL

This unit on Types of Style contains 159 pages plus 34 google slides and was developed for students with autism and other special learning needs. This unit has various activities to help students to determine the type of style in the story and why it is important. This unit covers the narrative, expository, persuasive, argumentative, and descriptive styles. 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 the type of style being used. This repetition encourages a deeper understanding of this concept.

*****This unit includes digital versions of the activities. There are 34 google slides (includes a differentiated set) and a movie version of the book. See the video preview for a walk-through of the slides in this unit.

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.
