I am in high school and am taking health class. One of the assignment is to make/find a lesson plan for special-ed/children with disabilities and teach it to them. Does anyone have any idea on what can I do? I can only use one period of class time which is only about 45 minutes. So it have to be something quick and educational.
How old are the special education kids? if they are old enough to know fractions, you can turn it into a math/ following directions project, with cooking. get a recipe of something that has quite afew ingredients, but also something that you can make in less than 45 minutes, like cookies. make the recipe of the thing your cooking too little or too big of amount, and then for the class have them figure out how much of each ingredient they need if the recipe needs to be doubled or tripled, or cut in half or divided by three or whatever amount. then you can have them make it with the measuring spoons and cups.
it would be working with math and following directions, and cooperation skills.
45 minutes would be long enough to figure out the math and get all the ingredients mixed together. cookies would be the easiest thing that I can think of. you would probably have to store the mix in the fridge or something and bake them later, then give them to the kids. at my school I know theres the home economics classroom that they would let you put them in the oven to bake.
You’d want to plan out how they should work together on this project. If theres quite afew students split them into groups that each group can make there own batch.
Hope this is an appropriete lesson plan for your assignment. good luck with it.
