This unit on US Symbols contains over 200 pages PLUS 36 google slides of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism.

 

This unit addresses some of the main US Symbols including:

  • The flag
  • The Statue of Liberty
  • The Liberty Bell
  • Bald Eagle
  • The Great Seal
  • Uncle Sam

 

All the information is presented 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 what makes this biome different and so important to the survival of the planet.

 

In addition, many activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

 

The digital activities were created using google slides and can be used with google classroom.

 

Each digital activity comes in 2 versions. The original plus one with color-coding to add more visual support for students who need more support. There is also a link to a movie version of both books included in the unit that students can watch online.

 

There are directions on how to access the digital activities and movie in a pdf included in this unit. There are also suggestions on the easiest way to assign the appropriate activities to each student.

*****************************************************************************

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.
