This lesson will be co-taught. The special populations that were considered during the planning of this lesson were students with learning disabilities. These students will be given assistance if needed. The directions will be explained to them and anything that the students need to read will be read aloud. The students will explain to the teacher what they are to do. These students will be given extra time, if needed to master the skill. If the skill needs to be re-taught, one of the teachers will pull a group and re-teach the topic. The students will be able to work at their own pace.
