Beginning ELLs and inclusion students may make advertising posters instead of interviewing. Can also use a book with pictures to demonstrate the timeline. Also may need to give students extra time to modify the action of skills taught.
GATE:
Create Power Point presentation of the interview and write the Professional Basketball player to visit the school for a real interview.
Cross Curricular:
Reading and writing – Student will read to perform a task. Student will complete KWL writing activity.
Technology – Student may use a computer to research information on events for timeline.
