Direct Instruction
BEGIN VOICES OFF NOW
Intro: Signing Naturally Lesson 1.4: Same or Different 1

Guided Practice
Introduce shapes via PowerPoint and concepts of Same-as, different, and shape (category sign). Discuss comparative structure (determining if two things are same/different). Introduce sign “again.”

Differentiation
Pair newer signers with more experienced signers. Allow signers who really seem to “get it” to assist peers as needed. Follow IEP accommodations as specified.

Assessment Strategy
Check for student understanding. Students complete handout w/DVD presentation of shapes and determine if same-as or different. (Refer to student workbook p.14-15)

Summarizer
Show a “Spot the Differences” comic and have students sign same-as and different to locate the similarities and differences.

Assignment
Complete handout (from SN student text) by watching DVD. Go over answers in class and check for accuracy.
