Description

Severe Weather Unit is a 3-week unit specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism in later elementary and middle school. It contains 175 pages of material. It examines what is severe weather, how do you know severe weather is coming, and how to stay safe if severe weather affects you. There are detailed lesson plans on severe weather to help you make these materials last 3 weeks (or longer).

NOTE: I totally redid this unit in January of 2021. The activities are new and more in line with what I currently created. It is organized in an easy to follow format with lots of extras to keep your students fully engaged in learning about severe weather for 3 weeks.

See Preview for a detailed look at the contents.

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

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.

★★★This unit pairs great with my weather unit specifically on hurricanes.

Oh boy, when you are just starting out and have yo Oh boy, when you are just starting out and have your own classroom for the first time it is hard to know where to focus your attention. There is SO MUCH to implement and regulations to follow that it can feel completely overwhelming. It can be almost paralyzing. . But, I found if I could just pick one thing I knew I wanted to implement EVERY SINGLE DAY and focus on that for a bit, it really made the rest of the day go so much smoother. . I have found the same to be true in my personal life, caring for my adult son who has autism and other issues. Consistency has been so necessary. . But we cannot be consistent with EVERYTHING, so picking that one activity or time of the day to start with is key. Read more about how to do that, and what a huge difference this small commitment can make in how your classroom runs. https://specialneedsforspecialkids.org/2021/03/29/why-consistency-is-key-in-a-special-education-classroom/ #specialneedsforspecialkids #classroommanagement #consistencyiskey

Please don't think just because you teach in a spe Please don't think just because you teach in a special education setting your student cannot enjoy and participate in activities built around a novel. I PROMISE your students can do these activities (even if they don't understand the entire story.) . If you have more advanced students, then you may want to actually assess how well they understand what you just read. For that reason, I just added comprehension questions to this novel unit!! It is one of my most popular ones, so I know there are a lot of you out there who have been waiting patiently for me to get to it. . There are 5 questions for each chapter. It still has 32 activities as well (one or more for each chapter!!). Redownload or check out this childhood favorite!!
