DeannaP https://images.randomhouse.com/promo_image/9780679890669_3213.pdf An ESOL strategy to go with the lesson is to “link lesson topic to student‘s prior knowledge” by matching different animals to where they think they live. An E.D strategy to go with it is to “offer ways of customizing the display of information”. Instead of giving the list to the students the teacher can print out the animals and have different backdrops with the different habitats 5y

DrSpalding Make sure you are using the appropriate abbreviations. This is considered modern fantasy rather than fantasy fiction and universal design principle is UDL. 5y

I did not want to put Dingoes at Dinnertime written by Mary Pope Osbourne and illustrated by Sal Murdocca down (F, IR). I read this book in elementary school, and it was thrilling to reread it as if it was my first time. Being able to visualize Jack and Annie on their quest in Australia transported me into the book. I'm glad that they were able to complete their mission in time!

gnewman This book is great for independent reading. The format is appealing to students, and it is engaging. This can lead students to the following UDL Principles; 3.1: Activate or supply background knowledge, 7.2: Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity, 7.3: Minimize threats and distractions, and 2.1: Clarify vocabulary and symbols. Also, an ESOL strategy that this independent reading can encompass is to continually monitor their comprehension. 6y

gnewman By giving them assignments to complete throughout their reading, you can see if they are in fact comprehending the text. The following link is an example of one of the assignments that the students can complete throughout their reading. It would be great with a science lesson too!

Dingoes at Dinnertime | Mary Pope Osborne

This activist and author, Mary Pope Osborne, along with her illustrator, Sal Murdocca, are our tour guides for an adventure every time they create a book. The dingoes joined me at dinnertime tonight thanks to a reread of my favorite Magic Treehouse book (F) from childhood! I was able to relive the warm feeling I got from the joey jumping into the backpack and my wanderlust for Australia. Lesson idea and UDL principle in comments.

cwright I envision making this a choice for an LC, even as a part of an AS of Mary Pope Osborne. Imagine how fun it would be to be the cartographer in your LC for any Magic Treehouse book! This touches on the UDL principles for Perception, Expression & Communication, Sustaining Effort & Persistence, Comprehension, and, of course, Recruiting Interest. 6y

cwright The following is a link from Osborne‘s Classroom Adventures Program, in which there are objectives, directions and templates for a game, and a map that could aid the cartographer in an LC. https://www.mthclassroomadventures.org/application/files/9814/8604/9220/mth-20-l... 6y
