Abstract:
In our current society, there is a push to have students learn a large amount of material in a single school year. Through this new application of curriculum, it is difficult to teach to more than just one type of learner. In the learning segment I have created, I take the literacy lesson selected for one of the weeks and incorporate several multimodal literacy approaches while working in the Universal Design for Learning paradigm. The Universal Design for learning paradigm has three tenets: multiple means of representation, multiple means of engagement, and multiple means of expression. Utilizing these attributes addresses all types of learning styles and abilities. By engaging students with different mediums and presenting the information in a multitude of ways, I engage all types of learners.
