Lesson Topic
Reading comprehension/assessment- Frederick Douglass
Lesson Outline
Ben read an article about Frederick Douglass and was asked to answer questions about it. The article was 2.5 pages. Ben read the first page but lost focus and asked if I could read the rest. He was tasked with answering 7 multiple choice and 3 short answer questions. Ben skipped one question saying he did not understand a word in it because "it looked weird to me, probably due to my dyslexia." He was subsequently unable to remember which word he found challenging; however I eliminated that question from the assessment. Ben was permitted to verbally respond to the short answer questions, and his responses indicated depth of understanding and good synthesis of the material. He answered 75% of answers correctly and stated that he surprised himself for completing the test because he was very tired. I commended him for his effort and perseverance.

Lesson Comments
Judie - I felt it important to include the way Ben responded to the reading and questions, but feel free to edit if you feel it is not necessary to include. Note: I left Ben a few minutes early because Elise asked me to help change Santino. Neither she nor Tony (his next teacher) seemed willing or comfortable to do so. Barbara commented that he was touching and pulling at himself (which he does at times), but Santino did not require changing. I am not entirely convinced Barbara feels comfortable doing so even if someone else is present - but perhaps I am mistaken.(I also understand it's not the most desirable of tasks). Additionally, she has questions about feeding, and suggest that she talk to, or watch, Amanda if this is possible and may be arranged. Thank you.
