III. Adaptation to Individual Differences and Diverse Learners—
Learning disabilities: students with LD have a harder time comprehending the information, so I have broken up
instruction and in chunks. At first, they get all the information, then I give 2 steps at a time, then I will guide with step by
step instructions.
Physical disabilities: Make sure room is big enough for students to freely move around the room.
Autism: Make sure the students know the agenda of the lesson and try to avoid making changes to the lesson.
Audio/visual impairments:
o Visual: larger fonts, preferential seating
o Audio: give the students written instructions

ADHD: For students that have a difficult time focusing, provide optional seating and fidgets, as well as not giving to much
information at once.
Highly intuitive learners: Make sure these students are highly engaged in the lesson. Maybe let them demonstrate a part
of the lesson or provide extra practice sheets for these students.
Intellectual disabilities: Be sure to include these students and make sure they understand the concept. Provide extra
examples and materials for aids for the students.
V. Purpose: Today, in this lesson we will examine and identify what it means to be a consumer and a producer. We will also be
researching how our state of Indiana takes part in being both a producer and a consumer.

VI. Lesson Presentation (Input/Output)
“We are going to learn 2 new words; the first word is producer.”
Put up Producer anchor chart and read and describe the word producer.
“I am sure you guys have heard this word before, like when we say movie producers, that is just another way of saying
that they created, came up with, or made the movie.”
“Another example would be a farmer; farmers plant corn, beans, and a bunch of other stuff, so we would call them
producers.”
“The next word is Consumer.”
Put up the Consumer anchor chart next to the producer chart.
Again, describe and explain the term
“Did you guys know that we have a person in the room right now who I a consumer??”
Let students start to guess and talk a little bit.
“Ok ok, do you want me to tell you who it is?”
“It is everyone in this room!” “that’s right we are all consumers!”
“There are consumers and producers all over and you didn’t even know it.”
“Did you guys know that even the state of Indiana is a consumer and a producer?!” “I know cool right?”
“So now we will be doing a little investigating, to figure out what the state of Indiana consumes and produces.”
Have the teacher’s helper pass out the “We Aer Producers” sheet
Ok so you guys are going to do some investigating today. Using the sheet that you were just given you are going to find 3
things that we Produce here in Indiana.”
Up here at the board I have some articles printed out and we will be using those to do our investigating.”
“We are going to do this first one together.”
Pulls up website and reads to students. We then draw the item being produced then answer questions I will be doing this
on the board as the students do it on the paper.
“Now, for the next I want you guys to come partner up. I will put you guys in groups and then you will come up and grab
an article.”
“for the rest of the time you and your partner may sit around the room, you do not have to be at your desk. But you will
need a pencil and a clipboard.”
As students are completing the investigative process walk around checking on the groups.
Then call groups back to their tables.
