Assessment:
The assessment will be the completion of the plot diagram worksheet. I will
not collect these at this moment because I want them to use it throughout
the unit whenever they want to alter something about their narrative.
Accommodations:
Bob: I wont press the issue if he doesnt want to talk or feel like working.
After class (if he doesnt work) I will ask to talk with him one-on-one so we
can discuss his narrative.
Sally: Sally may have trouble with this because it does have to do with
organization. I will emphasize with her that this will help her follow the
sequence of events. I will also conference every few days to see that she is
following the right patterns of sequencing.
