Nonlinguistic+Representation

Read and Reflect I love the idea of using visual representation in the classroom for students to be able to demonstrate their understanding of material being taught. Having worked with students with a variety of disabilities over the past ten years, I am continually amazed at how many of our students are nonlinguistic learners and need to be moving around, yet so many teachers teach in the same old linguistic ways. I love using dramatizations in the classroom to allow students to demonstrate their understanding of literature we read. I also like using concept maps and student-created images to allow students to creatively demonstrate their understanding. Apply and Reflect [|Story View]

The above are works-in-progress that could be used to help introduce the book //"To Kill A Mockingbird"// by Harper Lee. Our ninth grade students read this book as part of our curriculum, and we typically intrduce the book by talking about the Scottsboro Boys and Emmitt Till.
