Opening/Anticipatory Set: Teacher begins the Pictionary powerpoint and asks the students if they have ever played
pictionary before.

Introduce the Pictionary powerpoint which includes the
rules of the game and answers any questions to further
understanding and/or clarification of the upcoming
activity.

Students Will:
Read the powerpoint as well as listen to their teacher
give instructions, ask any questions as needed, and give
feedback when prompted by teacher.

The powerpoint while being read aloud also has pictures next to each written instruction and at the end a
demonstration with a student volunteer and class participation is presented. Thus ensuring that the instructions are
presented in a tri-modal format to incorporate as many learning styles as possible.

facilitator) makes adjustments as needed.
Specifically: Teacher will ask for a volunteer or

the class has those same 45 seconds to guess
the correct answer.
Game repeats as such and is stopped at a
designated time.
Differentiation:
MODIFICATION: For students with cognitive disabilities they will be given a choice of three prearranged cards to
pick from. These three cards will have easier concepts/terms on them as opposed to using the regular deck of
cards.
MODIFICATION: For a student with a physical disability, for example being on crutches, they could pick the term
and then tell a peer what they would like to draw for them on the board, a pictionary designated drawer of their
choosing.

Independent Practice

Teacher Will:
Continue to function as a cheerleader with positive
praise for the students and reduce facilitator role as
students take ownership of their role as participants in
the activity.

Student Will:
Play the game by participating in the activity as a
drawer, a scorekeeper and also as a guesser.

Differentiation:
MODIFICATION: For students struggling with their particular term/definition (either due to language barrier
issues, cognitive barriers and/or a learning disability) the facilitator will be monitoring in order to guide along the
guesses of the class as well as give a more in depth and helpful verbal interpretation of the students attempted
drawing on the board.

Closure/Lesson Summary:
Teacher will ask students to write down, in their opinion, the three most important terms/concepts pertaining to 1920s
America and draw a picture explaining/defining each of the three written terms/concepts. This will be the students ticket
