choices.

differences, diverse learning styles, or accommodations needed, learning styles, language, cultural values,

 I knew that I would be teaching at an alternative school and needed to do something fun to keep the
children engaged in learning- that is why I used candy and games.
 I also made my presentation appeal to the visual learner with the drawing activity and the colorful
images in the PowerPoint presentation.
 I had a student that was blind in one eye and she was still able to participate in every learning activity
that I presented.
 We talked about different allergies that people might have when it comes to grains and legumes. This
made the students more aware to that situation.

Evaluation Methods of Audience:


A video recording was taken of my presentation so that I would be able to evaluate my own teaching and improve it in
the future. My advisor also reviewed the teaching video and gave me feedback.
