Project Package: UDL Book

Learning is not always easy, but as a teacher you want to help support each student through those dicultspots. One way to provide support is by providing models. You are writing a story that discusses yourown personal experience as a learner. Specically, you will be telling a story about a time when you faceddiculties and made it through by:

Persisting and growing despite what may have seemed like hopeless odds Drawing on a sense of belonging and/or Opening yourself up to new ways of thinking

Your audience is a late high school student or early college student to remind them that no matter how hardthe transition from high school (or work) to college may be, they can still do it, and you are using your ownexperiences as an example. Make sure you consult the rubric to see what is important in this project.

Your UDL Book Should Include:

At least 6 pages, not including a title page. An image (properly licensed and cited) on every page. At least three entries in the Glossary that assist the learner to understand your story. Use of 3 Coaches on each page on which you make use of the Student Response Area. A question on at least one page in the Student Response Area that encourages readers to connectwith their prior experiences or knowledge.

A question on dierent pages in the Student Response Area that align with each of the fourReciprocal Teaching Strategies (Predict, Summarize, Question, and Visualize).

A question on at least one page in the Student Response Area that encourages the reader to thinkforward to a dierent situation or context.

Models of Practice

This is a list of projects from prior semesters that represent a range of disciplines and grade levels. Although Iconsider all of these to be very good examples, make sure you evaluate these models yourself and determinewhat you can learn from these models. Note that these books do not make use of the Reciprocal Teaching Strategiesso do not follow their example of using the Student Response Area and the Coaches.
