2. Teaching Strategies Level 3: Students at this level can write, draw or use pictures paired with text to express in writing how the plot unfolds and changes over time using the template. Level 2: With supports, students may be able to write, draw or use pictures paired with text to express in writing how the plot unfolds and changes over time. Students may benefit from visual supports such as color-coded prompts. Enlarged print materials may be helpful. Limiting the number of answer choices may be beneficial also. It may be possible to fade the visual supports overtime. Level 1: Students need significant supports to access the materials. Materials should be enlarged. Poster size is most helpful. Students at this level greatly benefit from tactile enhancements added to the print material that they can touch and feel. Encourage students to use matching skills to access the materials. Provide an array of two answer choices at a time paired with verbal prompts. One of the choices may be a neutral distractor such as a blank piece of paper. Students can indicate answers through touch or by looking at their answer choices. Students can also use their communication device to answer questions. For all levels: For non-verbal students, be sure to incorporate a communication device featuring picture symbols paired with text that can be used with this lesson.
