The Scenario
Imagine you have a class of 26 students. Three students are emerging bilingual students whose families speak Cantonese, Croatian, and Vietnamese respectively at home. One of the students has a temporary (soccer field) injury to his right (writing) hand, one has very low vision (only light perception), and one is hearing impaired. The class also includes 3 reluctant readers who are not identified and thus do not have ppt accommodations.
