Universal Design for Learning (UDL): This lesson is interactive, with videos and an interactive quiz. This
lesson is useful for all types of learners. Since the lesson is video based, it will be beneficial for visual and
auditory learners. ELLs can watch the videos more than one time to help them with comprehension.
Lesson idea implementation:

This activity is designed to be used as a center after the initial lesson on recycling and conservation. This
lesson is for reflective redelivery of the standard.

The students will work their way through the lesson’s videos and take the short interactive quiz. Teacher will
circulate computers to answer questions and interact with students during the lesson.

Reflective Practice: The students will be creating their own presentation, either on the computer or on a
poster board. They will be allowed to plan and design on their own. In their center groups, they will create a
presentation on why it is important to recycle and/or conserve. They will work together as a group on this
project as an extension of the lesson and to show mastery and understanding of the standard.
