Accommodations: | Encourage below level students to write the labels for each family member they have illustrated by copying the words from the Family Words chart. On level students will label each family member shown and write a sentence using the word I. Above level students will label each family member shown, write a sentence using the word I, and write a sentence using the word we. |
