Animals Found in The Rain Forest Whole Class:  Description :I will use a smart board and have a picture of a rainforest. I will also have pictures of animals that live in the rainforest and as a class they will need to decide which animals live in what part of the rainforest. For example: a Toucan lives in the canopy.  Materials: Smart Board, Smart pen  Before Class Preparation: Before class I will do any modifications to the lesson that i need if I have any student with special needs. Such as visionary problems, I can make the font on the Smart board bigger or of a different color, easier for them to see.  During Instruction: I will need to watch involvement in the students since it is whole class, not every student will be participating all the time. So i will need to make sure they are paying attention and following along with the lesson. If I notice that most students are not following along can have them write down where we put every animal on the board so that interact is there.  Back Up Plan: For my back up plan if the device stops working i will have the students name animals that they think live in the tropical rain forest and we as a class will classify them into which part of the rainforest they belong. I may have them fold their paper into four levels to represent each layer of the rainforest.

Such as vision, `touch ,or anything like that. I will have to change setting of the computer if i have anything like that. If i have someone that has one hand i can get a special keyboard with bigger keys and keys that have delayed inputs, or a text to speech system. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;"> During instruction: During this assignment i will need to make sure that the students are not playing games on the computer or surfing the internet.
