Activity 1

ACTIVITY 1

Print out the following scenarios and cut them apart. Divide Explorers into four groups and give each group one of the scenarios to role-play, demonstrating how they could adapt what is described to better support the needs of a tactile learner. After each role-play, have the entire group offer ideas about other ways the situation could be adapted.

 

1) In geography class, the teacher is reading from the textbook. She also asks for volunteers to read to the class.

 

2) The teacher divides students into groups to prepare for class presentations. After collecting information, each group gives an oral report on its assigned subject.

 

3) The teacher is allowing students to review for tomorrow’s test during today’s class time. Students are to be quiet and remain seated.
