 * Appendix E – Group Presentation**

Each student is responsible for helping prepare and deliver a group presentation. These will focus on connecting a specific subject area (reading, writing, math, and other content areas) with modifications for students with disabilities. Each group will focus on one of these areas.

Each group member will select a disability group and draw connections between this disability and the given content area. The focus is on what sorts of modifications or adaptations are appropriate to facilitate including a student with a particular disability into this content area.

Information should be drawn from both the related chapter in Vaughn and from journal articles related to the content area and the particular disabilities that are the focus.

The group will have two tasks: 1) As a group, create a wiki page about differentiating instruction in this content area for these particular disabilities. 2) Create a class presentation o The presentation should provide **information and examples** for students to use. o The presentation should be creative and engaging o Time limit = 25 minutes o An outline of the presentation must be created; handouts are recommended o The presentation can link to the wiki and incorporate it, but should not simply be a presentation of it
 * The wiki should provide a forum for the group to continually modify information, update references, and add materials as the course progresses.
 * The wiki site should serve as a user-friendly site for teachers seeking to build their capacity to include students with disabilities in this particular content area.
 * References to journal articles (formal citations) and links to professional organizations should be included in the wiki site.

Each **member of the group should actively participate** in both the creation of the wiki and in the presentation. All group members will assess each other’s participation.
