Flipped classroom:
The students are now the teacher! They will come to the front of
the class and teach they topic of nouns using their project that
they made. I will be giving the students the option to just display
their project if they are not comfortable speaking in front of the
class.

Rationale of Revisions:
Learning Activity 1 Revisions:
For learning activity 1, I am still going to be using a mentor text, however I have
revised it slightly. Rather than me just reading the text aloud to the students, I am
going to give the students a choice to either listen to the audiobook version of the
text or read it to themselves, depending on what they will respond to best. I chose
to give the students a choice not only to have them interact with the text in which
they will learn best, but also to accommodate for the students who have either
visual impairments or audio impairments. I have also revised my after reading
activity from the nose touching activity to a revision of think, pair, share. For this
activity I will have students talk to their partner about what they have learned,
letting them vocalize their understanding. Following their sharing, they will
collaborate and one partner will write one takeaway from the book onto their sticky
note and come post it on the board. By having them vocalize their learning, I am
accommodating for students who do not respond best through writing, and by
having only one person from the pair write down a collaborative response, I am
accommodating for students who struggle with writing. These revisions pertain to
the UDL Guidelines Strategies under the Expression section and the principles of
Physical Action as well as Expression and Communication. The checkpoints under
these principles that support my revisions are 4.1- Vary the methods for response
and navigation, 5.1- Use multiple media for communication. As well, it falls under
the principle of Perception and the checkpoints 1.1- Offer ways of customizing the
display of information and1.2- Off
er alternatives for auditory information.
Learning Activity 2 Revisions:
After reviewing my original noun lesson plan, I decided that it would be most
beneficial to revise the entirety of learning activity 2. Rather than simply handing
our a generic noun worksheet, as I had previously planned on doing, I am now
planning to include more student choice in the noun modified activity. I realized that
with the worksheet, I would only be providing my students one way of showing their
understanding. With that it includes a lot of writing, thus if writing is not the way in
which a student best shares their knowledge, they are put at a disadvantage by
this. Therefore, my revised learning activity was planned in order to accommodate
for many of the potential struggles that could be present in the class, such as
communicating their understanding with writing and having trouble artistically
representing their ideas. My new learning activity provides the students with an
option of how they are going to communicate their understanding of nouns to their
fellow classmates. They can either make a video, a podcast, an informative poster
or visual that can educate about nouns. After creating their projects, they will be
sharing these with the class as if they are the teacher. These revisions are
supported by the UDL Guidelines under the Strategies for Expression and the
principles of physical action as well as the principle of expression and
communication. Further, the checkpoints 4.1- Vary the methods for response and
navigation, 5.1- Use multiple media for communication and 5.2 Use multiple tools
for construction and composition make it even more clear that I need to revise this
activity if it is to be successful.
Other Revisions:
When making the revisions to my learning activities in order to incorporate more of
the UDL principles, I noticed that other revisions had to be made as a result of these
changes. For example, my observations and assessments changed in order to work
better with the new activities. In this revised lesson, I will be assessing the
knowledge gained from the book by listening to the group discussions and what the
responses on the sticky notes are. As well, I will be assessing their understanding by
the students engagement in the project and the guidance that they need
throughout. Being that I veered away from using the noun worksheet that I
originally planned to use, the closure of my lesson was revised as well in order to
make the lesson be cohesive. The lesson will now close with the flipped classroom
strategy which follows the UDL Strategies for Engagement under the principle of
Recruiting Interest. Further, the check point 7.1-Optimize individual choice and
autonomy supports this closure activity. In the flipped classroom, the students will
come to the front of the class and teach they topic of nouns using their project that
they made. In order to accommodate for students who have verbal impairments or
for another reason are uncomfortable with presenting in front of the class, I will be
giving the students the option to just display their project. This closure will give me
the opportunity to assess the students understanding of nouns based on how they
communicate their understanding through their project and their presentation.
