Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

PowerPoint is tool that is great for all points of education. It can be used for something as simple as a PowerPoint
presentation, but you can also narrate each slide which is what I did with my book. This tool is great for students of
all ages and can be used to teach or create. PowerPoint is great for visual learners and because of its recording
capabilities auditory learners as well.
Lesson idea implementation:
Level 4
I will ask students what their favorite color is. The students will gather around projector screen and I will read each
page of my book to them. After reading my book to them I will have the students pick one of the four colors in the
book (red, blue, yellow, and green). I will email out a video version to the students’ parents for the children to look
back on.
Based on the color the student liked the most I will the ask the students to go home and find two things in their
house that are the color they picked out. The students will come back the next day with what they found to be the
same as the color they picked. I’ll have the students draw pictures of what they found in the color that they picked.
Next, I will take a picture of each students art work and input it into a PowerPoint. I will then make another audible
book of the four colors and what the students found were the same colors but this time the students will be
narrating it.

Reflective Practice:
I think this lesson not only demonstrates what colors are but where the students can find each color in the real
world. I could post the student narrated book on the school website from the parents to see what the students are
learning class and how we are tying in what their children are doing at home into the classroom. Another way I could
extend on this is by printing out the students’ color book and have a class set form them to read at any time.
