Accommodations,
Modifications

The class will play a game with the teacher. The teacher
will be the police officer and the students will be the
citizens of the town. The teacher will have the students
go around the class and talk to one another like they are
at a store or in the park. As they are doing this, the
teacher will secretly tell one student to do something
against the law, such as throwing a piece of paper on
the ground instead of the garbage can to littering. The
police officer (teacher) will go over to the student and
give them a ticket and a fine that they have to pay.
The teacher will do that with each of the students. As a
transition, the teacher will tell the students that once
they get a ticket, they are to return to their seats. The
class will talk about how littering is against the law and
that this student broke the rules.
Big Idea Statement

Create a list of classroom rules different than the ones

littered did not follow the rules and broke the law.
The teacher will show the students their list of rules (the
classroom rules) that she came up with.
Transition
In anticipatory set.
Guiding the Practice
The teacher will give the students the worksheet to fill
out with their 5 classroom rules they would have if they
had their own classroom by working in a group.
Providing the Independent Practice
The teacher will let the students make their own list of 5
rules that they will complete for homework and bring in
as their evaluation 3 days later.
Adaptations/Accommodations for Students with Special Needs
For a student with a behavior disorder, the teacher will
tell them that if they finish their work and sit quietly,
they can have a sticker.
