Since this plan is devoted to the English curriculum, the example student of Lee is the choice for accommodations. Some accommodations could include: The idea that personal experiences can be seen as “facts” and if Lee can shift to that frame of thinking, it is possible she would be more comfortable relating her own experiences to the questions, having a few questions that rely on problem solving rather than personal experiences, and find out what Lee’s outside of academia interests are and find ways to connect them to the course material to help build her up creative palette.
One specific strategy I would use with Lee is the SAT option. S- Say the sentence aloud. A – Associate the idea with words and pictures. T – Thesaurus. These are very good points for getting Lee’s creative palette going. Having her think about something simple and then move it to more complex ideas could be the slow transition she needs into becoming a more creatively apt thinker.
