CAST UDL

-
I chose the Rocks and Their Properties: Day 1 lesson off of the CAST UDL Lesson Builder website to observe and make connections as to how they are implementing UDL.  Within this lesson, the teacher addresses different learning styles that their students may use. For instance, there are many visuals that are displayed, hands-on-activity, verbal discussion and presentation on the material. This lesson also provides the opportunity for different motivational options to ensure that all students are engaged in the topic. Students work in small groups throughout this lesson which allows the students to collaborate with other classmates to gain a deeper meaning of the material. By implementing all of these strategies into this lesson, students are able to gain a better understanding of the topic.

    I chose the same lesson! I thought it offered a great variety for students and just simply seemed like such a fun, engaging lesson! I felt that many different learning styles were represented, between hands-on activities and visual elements. I'm sure this would be a very successful lesson to implement.
