Accommodation Strategies: Simplify instructions for individual students who may not understand the instructions. Create step-by-step directions on creating PowerPoint Presentation for students to utilize. Students with disabilities will be assisted by their peers or teacher helping them scan or upload their pictures and ideas into the PowerPoint program so that they can contribute to class activities. Provide remote controls for students to use so that they can present their information at their own pace rather than on a timed slide.

After students have sketched out their plan for their slide show, begin constructing the show using PowerPoint (This will take about (4) 45-minute class periods). If students know how to use a scanner, allow them to scan relevant pictures or ask you to scan them and put them in a network folder.

Students present their slide show to the class (computer grade is assessed at that time.) Students will save their work to their network file and to a disk, and give to the teacher for rubric assessment.
