Planned Supports: As we do our class discussion, we will all be sitting on the rug or outside, weather permiting,
in order to be in a calm enviormoent, allowing all of us to be on the same level, phsycially,
and take part in the discussion without enviormental barriers.
Differentiated Instruction Strategies: - Students will be able to take home the question form to fill out with their parents.
- Students will have the opportunity to present different things about themselves of
their family throughout the discussion.
- Content of the discussion will be determined largely by the students and their
cultures, also by their interested.
- Material will be presented through the book, the question form, and the discussion.
Planned Collaboration with Others: Share this lesson plan with others in the school to potential get a bigger discussion started
and begin to celebrate the differences througoht the school. Could also potentially be used in
staff meetings to encourage different to be explored within the staff. Students will also take
home the question sheet and possibly start this conversation with their families.
Management Considerations Students will be redirected verbally to remember to respect others when talking and not be
disruptive.

different takeaways from the discussion
Lesson Closure: Review Standard/Summarize Learning:
