6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

Give the students directions that are confusing and then have them explain why they could not do what you wanted them too.
 

B. Development-

Explain the game of telephone. One person tells another person a message by whispering it in the other person's ear. This is done all the way to the end of the people playing.
 

C. Practice-

Have a small group, maybe 3-4 students, sit next to one another and relay the message to each person. Then see if they can do the directions.
 

D. Independent Practice-

Have students play the game with the help of the aide or a teacher. The student can tell another student what to do and see if the students can do that.
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

For some students that have a hard time hearing the directions the game can be played in a quieter room, or repeated as necessary.
 

F. Checking for understanding-

If the student does the directions correctly then the understanding was good.
 

G. Closure-

Once the game is understood can the students give directions that have thing to do and increase the directions to two things.
 
7. Evaluation-
The students were able to listen, repeat, and do the direction correctly. Now the game will have 2 directions and see if the students can do the directions correctly.
 
8. Teacher Reflection-
The concept of the game was understood. Some students has some trouble understanding other students, but the repeat option did help with that.
