1 Take a lesson plan you have already written for another Marymount class.

2 Examine your lesson plan and see how you could support the diversity of learners from Voices of Diversity:

? Race & Ethnicity

? Socioeconomic Status (such as the homeless student from the podcast link above)

? Sexual Orientation

? Religious Belief

? Linguistic Diversity

? Gender and Gender Roles

? Learning (Dis)Abilities and Special Needs

? Physical Abilities

For example, what strategies might you use to address linguistic diversity in your literature lesson?

How can you support students of varying physical abilities in your Math class that uses the SMART Board?

How can you address intercultural education with your students of multiple ethnicities?

3. Add a comment

In your lesson plan that indicates how you would modify this lesson for a category of learners listed above. These strategies should reflect what you have learned in the course about being responsive to diverse learners. All supporting documents (including rubrics, PowerPoints, handouts, etc.) need to be submitted with your strategies.

You will include at least 5 strategies (modifications of your original lesson plan). Include at least two different categories of learners. For example, you might add 2 strategies that support socioeconomic status diversity (such as students who do not have technology access at home), and 3 strategies that support gender and gender roles diversity (such as addressing gendered representations in printed materials).

You are not limited to only two chapters from Voices of Diversity - feel free to branch out to include other chapters.
