Differentiation and accommodations: I will differentiation and make accommodations for ELL
students by using the SIOP model in my lessons. Students will have the opportunity to use
speak, read, and write about what they are learning. I will also use many accommodations such
as visual aids and manipulatives in my teaching. I will also be aware of my body language to
emphasize important points .

groups. I will differentiate for the high level students by providing opportunities for them to be
challenged and extensions of the lesson that require higher level thinking.
