Romeo and Juliet Speeches for Students with Disabilities

Often, the print outs or copies are single spaced and written with no room for students to annotate. This layout gives students with some disabilities to participate with their peers. In this set of fourteen speeches selected for their general popularity from Romeo and Juliet, students find all the lines numbered (instead of skipping by fives or tens), larger pr

PE has long been disregarded as “just the class where you run.” In truth, today’s PE classes both educate students about healthy, long term, life habits, rules for games, and cooperative teamwork. PE classes expect students to now take notes and keep track of extensive individual data.
For the bowling unit, students with disabilities, like their peers, generally excel at doing the activity. We have provided a non-fiction reading about bowling and scoring to be used with reading class or PE as

I'm the one that sort of sits back and watches things happen and tries to course correct as the day goes. I'm looking for ways to implement adaptations in a general education classroom and facilitating social interactions with the best technology solutions possible.
