Mini-Lesson Format
Students Name: Alec, Monroe, Carla Grade: 8th Subject Area: Vocabulary
Characteristics/needs of the students with disabilities in the group:
Monroe and Carla have a learning disability in reading and are both reading at a fifth-grade level. Alec has autism and he needs support with communication.
Disability Types: Reading disability and Autism
Accommodations that need to be made: Highlight words, teacher will read out loud for students, screen reader when using computers, one on one time with Alec on the computer.
Title of Mini-Lesson: Word Clues
Common Core State Standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.8.4. A
Use context (e.g., the overall meaning of a sentence or paragraph; a word's position or function in a sentence) as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.
Specific Learning Objectives: Students will be able to identify the meaning of words and phrases from sentences and paragraphs.
Procedures (15 minute activity):
(Provide the steps of instruction or task analysis, based on an evidence-based strategy in the text or a peer-reviewed article of your choice)
· The teacher will provide students with flashcards. These cards have a sentence on the front, and two highlighted words on the back.
· The teacher will read the (2) sentences out loud while the students follow along.
· The teacher will then ask students to highlight the words that stand out to them. Two words will be highlighted in each sentence*
· The students will then circle words that relate to the highlighted word and discuss with their peers and teacher their understanding of the words.
· Students will then use Learning Farm to practice (game mode) on the computer. I will work with Alec on the computer to guide him through the practice. Monroe and Alec will use the screen reader.
· Students will write down any words they do not understand and highlight words they do not know in the assessment worksheet. We will go over words they do not understand.
Reflection:
1. How did you ensure that your mini-lesson addresses the needs of the individual learners in the group?
I included assistive technology for the students and one on one interaction. I focused on the needs of the students of incorporate 21-century skills in the lesson. I also give the students a chance to work in different ways which include verbal cues, hands-on task, and technology.
2. Why did you choose the strategy you used in this mini-lesson?
I believe my strategies will work for students because I focused on the needs of the students. I use methods which utilized student skills with assistance with and without the teacher.

1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java.

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THE EARLY REPUBLIC

By
Assignment Overview The American Revolution and Independence As we saw in the Module Overview, there were numerous factors that ultimately led to revolution and independence. In this second Case assignment, you’ll be researching and writing about some of those factors. Case Assignment Write a 3 to 4-page essay identifying at least FOUR factors which led to colonial independence. In your paper, explain which events triggered discord between the colonies and the Mother Country. Be sure to do some research on your own and use other resources to analyze the thought-processes which sparked independent thinking. The best way to approach and organize the paper would be to create a title for each event and then discuss your findings. For example; for the first one you could write, “Event 1, The Seven Years War”. This would be followed by your narrative on how this war led to independence. The rest of the paper would follow this pattern. Assignment Expectations Use concepts from the background
