Instructional Procedure with Approximate Timeline Anticipatory Set (time is flexible) Begin the lesson by having the container of items already prepared for the lesson. Communicate to Drew the lesson concept by signing ____________. Introduce and teach one item at a time. After introducing an object, the teacher will offer Drew a choice to play with a favorite item (see functional behavioral plan). When teaching Drew the sign for each item, the teacher must pair the sign with object and picture. Introduce the sign within his visual space and use a tactile sign (sign in his hand or on body when appropriate). After introducing the sign, object and picture have Drew manipulate the sign with his hands and body, whichever is appropriate. Do this for each item. In order to encourage longer attention span, the teacher can determine when Drew is ready to do two items (three, four, five etc.) before offering a choice of favorite item.

Lesson 2 Related Meaningful Activity

Drew will relate the Personal Hygiene lesson objects, signs and pictures to a meaningful activity. Drew will integrate his learning during toileting and at home when bathing and getting dressed. When toileting, Drew will wash his hands with soap and brush his hair. When directing Drew to wash hands with soap and to brush his hair the teacher and staff will communicate through sign language (paired with an object and picture). The teacher can assign homework for Drews parents to use the sign, picture and object of the vocabulary items listed in this lesson. When Drew has mastered the sign, the object and picture will no longer be used. This will be determined through a formative assessment. (Drew knows the signs for toilet, wash hands and wash hair). Interdisciplinary Activity Drew will relate the School Items lesson objects to community access experiences of purchasing items at the store with money. During the community access activity (grocery store event), Drew will place the objects decided by the teacher from the lesson vocabulary list (2 or 3 items) in a hand held basket. Drew will be given the sign and picture of the item. Staff will need to guide Drew to the area where the object is stored, and then allow him time to find the object to place in his basket (in the beginning staff will need to point to the item). Drew will be required to pay for the items by giving the cashier the money and waiting for his change. Drew will hold the bag containing the items and return to the bus or other District vehicle. When returning to class, Drew will place items in their appropriate area (teacher designated). Lesson Closure When Drew is finished with the lesson in the classroom and community access activity, his teacher and paraprofessionals need to reward him with praise by patting his back and signing finished. Concepts 1. Connecting objects to signs and pictures to build vocabulary. 2. Sign language and objects relate to meaningful activities. 3. Communication connects objects with understanding and experience. Evaluation, Reflection, and Revision of Lesson Throughout the process of implementation of this lesson and unit, revision in this lesson may be made based on teacher observations and student achievement.
