What have I chosen these materials? I have chosen these materials,

because I feel that many students in the classroom are visual learners and also learn by writing the words and drawing a picture of the definition.

Accommodations Place students in a group where their

partners are encouraging and helpful. Extra time on assignments if needed.

Tips for Taking Good Photos Use a flash when you have very little

light. Take multiple pictures because most

likely one of the pictures will turn out. Try to have bright light sources behind

you (e.g. the sun). Make sure your shadow is not in the picture frame.

Use a fast shutter speed when taking pictures for emotions.
