Scene 1
It is very important to keep your student’s learning styles in mind when planning instructions; therefore to meet the needs of students in my class I would use tactile activities for those who are kinesthetic learners. For the visual learners I would incorporate different graphicsso they can see through pictures what the lesson is about. And for the auditory learners I wouldlecture to them as normal and allow others to listen to audio tapes of the lesson through headphones.
Scene 2
I think it would be extremely helpful to have a reading specialist to collaborate with because two heads are better than one and the fact that this person specializes in reading they have more experience in dealing with students with reading problems. They can also provide me with some ideas on how to meet the needs of my students that may have reading problems. By meeting their needs the students will have a better understanding of what they have read and can be productive readers.
Scene 3
Marilyn uses graphic organizers to map out the organization of the book by labeling the characters, setting, problem, solution, and the virtue exhibited by the characters. She also maps out the three fifteen minute activities that the students are going to be working on. By using the graphic organizers Oscar was able to view the large pictures instead of having to deal with the hassle of trying to read and write about what was expected of him; therefore making the activity fun for him.
Scene 4
My experience with using the web to locate information has been relatively helpful, especially when there have been times when I had no clue of the subject matter that I needed to research. There has been one time when I have encountered a problem when using a Wed Quest, such as, one time in a workshop just as it may be in a classroom there were not enough computers in the room for me to have my own personal one and I could not do research on my own.
Scene 5
Having students work in small groups rather than whole groups is beneficial because the students will pay closer attention and this will cause them to retain more information. Another benefit would be the fact that they would have that little bit of teacher-guidance, where the teacher can actually go from group to group helping the groups meet their needs. Also, smaller groups can motivate students to learn from their peers and the students are more likely to gain the openness of reading aloud more.
Personally, I think Oscar would not have been as productive as he was had he worked one-on-one with Juanita. Because of the fact he was visually impaired, being able to work in a small group with his peers gave him the peer motivation he needed to read the text more independently.

Scene 6
Marilyn’s use of technology addresses her students’ needs by first allowing them to visit a Web Quest using Eric Carle’s website, so they could collect biographical data about the author/artist. Then she shared with them, the video, Eric Carle : Picture Writer to show them his artistic approach to painting the pages illustrated in his books. This would be beneficial for Oscar. Finally, the students were able to create their own iMovies. This made the students proud of their work.
