media type="file" key="Mardi's movie short.m4v" This short movie (1:36) gives you a feeling for my wiggly sixth graders. As I noted in my reflection, this was the part of the lesson where they were most engaged. It was not planned, but when I saw how their faces lit up when I showed them the play (for my lesson on genre), my para quickly made copies of the first page and we went at it! I was able to teach some elements of drama through this activity.

 Hi,

I teach sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade special education students in our substantially separate program at the Edwards. This is my first year teaching in that program, and I'm gradually climbing up my learning curve. I differentiate for 43 students, from students who read on a first-grade level and understand very little, to those who are on their way to transitioning into resource room and possibly even regular education.

More later! A favorite web site is [|readwritethink].
