Phase II

1. Instructional Decisions/Teaching:
The modifications I provided in my lesson were for a gifted student as well as a student who is deaf.  The gifted student as well as students who recieved a perfect score on the assessment would have the opportunity to participate in a mock store activity. The student who is deaf will do everything that the other children do including the pre-assessment, anticipatory set, the lesson, and the homework. This student should be sitting in an area where the pictures of the money are visible.  While giving the lesson make sure to speak in an exaggerated manner so that the student will be able to read your lips. The student should be watching the teacher very carefully during the lesson. The use of the online money games was a way that I accomodate to students that might learn easier when playing a game.   http://www.math-play.com/money-game-2/Money-Game.html

2. Assessment of Learning:
After reading the comments on my blog about my lesson plan I realized that the game that the students played might have been a little too difficult for certain students just because we did not go over different operations to solve the money problems.  Although the assessment I provided did assess what the students had learned during the lesson.  I explained that although in class I did not have my classmates write their own money word problems my actual class would have, which would have better enabled the students to answer the questions on their in-class worksheets. 
The comments left on my blog also did confirm my belief that the presentation of my lesson was a success.  Presenting this lesson plan might have been the most comfortable I have ever been when presenting a lesson to my peers.  I believe that if I had presented this lesson to an actual 2nd grade class the class would have been successful.  It was a great experience.
