Artifact Description: This was an exit ticket students completed as a formative assessment in a Science Fiction unit where we read Gris Grimly's Frankenstein.

IPTS Connection: This exit ticket contains sentence starters as differentiation, which connects to standard 3Q.

What I Learned: I learned that students who struggle with initiating their writing benefit from sentence starters with structure that allows them to focus on expressing their thoughts.

Artifact Description: This paper was written for SPED 216: Introduction to Exceptional Children at Trinity Christian College. The topic was on the characteristics and causes of a communication disorder, specifically language disorders.

ITPS Connection: This paper explores the ways in which disabilities impact the cognitive, physical, social/emotional and communication development of students with disabilities, which connects to standard 3C.
