6. Assessment

• I will do an informal assessment by using a ticket out the door to determine the students’ understanding based on their responses. I will ask them to state how hamburgers and hotdogs are alike and different. 

• I will assess the independent practice for individual student understanding through their responses to the essential question. Students must give a thorough explanation of the differences and how to compare alike and differences to exhibit mastery of the lesson.

7. Describe special adaptations/modifications:

In order to meets the needs of any students with special needs I will refer to their IEP to properly come up with adaptations to meet their individual needs.
 

8. Anticipated instructional/behavior problems:

Behavior will be managed thru the use of a traffic light system. Noise will be the biggest form of misconduct due to the group work being conducted. The traffic light will remain green as long as volume is kept to a minimum and will change according to the classes volume.
