I can create a visual display to demonstrate my knowledge of the

similarities and differences of these two characters.
*The day before, students will have chosen their two favorite
characters from the text and will have completed a Venn Diagram
comparing and contrasting the personalities of the two.

*I will put a blank Fakebook page up on the interactive whiteboard

and have students assist me in coming up with ten character traits
that describe myself, the teacher. Then I will show students how to
upload profile pictures and enter information using myself as the
example.
*After walking them through the example, I will ask students to
create two separate Fakebooks, each focusing on a different
character's point-of-view in the text. They should use the Venn
Diagrams they created the day before to assist them in writing the

profiles for each of their characters.

Accommodations: For the autistic student, D, I would have him
complete only one Fakebook page. Instead of overloading him
with the sheer amount of work of two pages, I would assess him
orally on his other chosen character, asking yes-and-no and openended questions to ensure he knows the differences and
similarities between the two characters. I would wait to orally
assess him after everyone else has given their presentations so that
he can soak in their information, and I would do this informally,
while the students are busy doing another task. His rubric would
be modified to reflect these accommodations. For the presentation
portion of his Fakebook page, I think D would do well. His peers
are very respectful of him, and he loves raising his hand to ask and
answer questions, so being in front of an audience probably
won't be too nerve wracking.
To extend the lesson, I would ask the advanced learners to leave
posts and comments IN CHARACTER on their peers'
presentations.
*After sufficient time has passed to complete the profiles (a few
class periods), each student will be formatively assessed on their
presentation of their profiles to the class on the interactive
whiteboard.
