Universal Design for Learning UDL lesson plan

Apply UDL principles to a lesson on the water cycle. 1. Multiple Means of Representation (the 'what'): Present information via text, video with captions, diagrams, and a hands-on model. 2. Multiple Means of Action & Expression (the 'how'): Allow students to demonstrate understanding by writing a paragraph, creating a comic strip, recording a short video explanation, or building a physical model. 3. Multiple Means of Engagement (the 'why'): Connect the topic to local weather patterns, allow students to choose a research topic (e.g., droughts, floods), and structure the task as a collaborative challenge. Goal: remove barriers to learning by providing flexible options for all students from the start.
