Thing # 6

Teaching special needs high schoolers is sometimes a real challenge. . .especially when they are struggling with reading. Anything that allows them to make connections and express their ideas is a welcome addition to the tools in my toolbox. I can see using the trading cards, mosaics, and mashups to get the kids to make connections to places, people, and other things they are learning. It should be fun watching them play with these tools and teach each other. . .it should stimulate some interesting conversations about what they are reading.
