Specific Modifications • Language Arts: Have students act out the readings to get them out of their seats. • Math: Color code your students worksheets (green subtraction problems, red multiplication problems, etc.). Use visuals like number-lines or pictures to illustrate the problem you want them to do. • Social Studies: Students role play the different characters in the lesson. • Visual Arts/ Performing Arts: Let the students have some say in which topics to study and they will be more interested in the topic. • Science: Implement hands on experiments (test tubes, beakers, etc.) away from desks and lectures. Assign task work that has captivating outcomes (chemical reactions).
