 * Numbered Heads Together: students will be correcting a speech according to conventions of Standard American English. First they will be trying to revise it as a group, next as small groups, and last, individually. They will each have turns in each role and get support from their peers to build this skill set. ||

Interpersonal: Students will be discussing with the class and with a partner. Intrapersonal: students will have reflection time during the hook. Visual: Students will be using a graphic organizer as well as viewing a video and watching skits Bodily Kinesthetic: students will be acting in front of the class and moving around the room to be with their partners.

 * =Differentiated Instruction= ||
 * **Strategies**
 * **Modifications/Accommodations**
 * I will review students' IEPs. 504s or ELLIDEPs and make the appropriate modifications and accommodations. ** ||
 * **Extensions**
 * Students who miss a class are asked to get caught up with a peer from the class and/or see me directly. Once they have touched base with a classmate they can meet with me to collect what they have missed and to recap the absent class. If the student knew of the absence in advance (i.e. vacation, appointments, etc.) they are asked to hand in/ e-mail the assignments. If it is an unexcused absence the student is asked to stay after school with me until they are at the same level as the rest of the class. ** ||
