DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION/ ADAPTATIONS/ INTERVENTIONS

Learning disabilities: Modified instruction- I will ask them simpler questions.
Attention differences: I will offer guided instruction to keep the students on task, focused, and
interested in the lesson.
Physical differences: I will allow added time for the exercises.

 Sensory differences: I will have a variety of ways to deliver the content. Prezi, pictures, and
video for visual learner. Lecture, discussion, and video for auditory learners, and hands on
activities (poster board activity) for kinesthetic learners.

The students will watch a concert of the Andes Manta and then I will let the students discuss
their favorite part of the show, favorite instrument, how they feel about the music, what they like
about the group etc
If Technology Fails
I will print out powerpoint for each student and if I cant show the clip I will try to explain the
Andes Manta the best I can. I can play a piece of their music on my phone/tablet if I have a
strong enough signal.
