Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Engagement: This PowerPoint presentation uses images of children’s books that students are likely to already know about and enjoy. Each slide has a different book which means students must be paying close attention to the picture they see. Using one book for the question and a different book for the answer ensures that students are exposed to the information in multiple ways. Representation: The presentation contains colorful pictures, written sentences, and voice over in order to support student learning. Students with visual impairments can listen to the spoken words in order to gain information from the lessen. Students with hearing impairments can see the sentences written out. English language learners have the benefit of both seeing and hearing the sentences in the PowerPoint. Action and Expression: Students are asked and encouraged to shout out the answers to the questions in the PowerPoint. They have the opportunity to ask their peers if they don’t know the answer.
