🌟 Perspectives HS Unit Description

Perspectives HS: Exploring Culture, Point of View, and Irony
This ready-to-use unit is designed to guide students in understanding how an author’s cultural background shapes point of view, irony, and conflict within a story.

📘 What’s Inside the Unit

  • Six Structured Lessons that gradually build skills:

    1. Pretest & Introduction to Perspectives – Assess what students know and activate background knowledge.

    2. Vocabulary Development – Key words supported with visuals and accessible practice.

    3. Guided Practice Activities – Sorting and matching tasks that connect culture, point of view, and irony.

    4. Cause & Effect Chains of Culture – Scaffolded activities showing how culture impacts conflict and story outcomes.

    5. Application Activities – Students make connections between texts and cultural perspective using graphic organizers and interactive examples.

    6. Review – Reinforce skills through games, matching, and direct review before assessing growth.

  • Culturally Rich Authors & Texts: Students explore excerpts and adapted passages from Sui Sin Far, Zora Neale Hurston, Mark Twain, African folktales, Sandra Cisneros, and Amy Tan.

  • Multiple Activity Types: Matching, cause/effect sorts, drag-and-drop digital activities, graphic organizers, and comprehension questions that reinforce cultural understanding.

🛠️ Built for Accessibility

  • Symbol-supported visuals and simplified passages for students with reading challenges.

  • Differentiated activities that allow for multiple response modes (verbal, written, choice cards, AAC).

  • Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) strategies and suggested accommodations included in the teacher guide.

🚀 Extension & Engagement

Teachers will also find extension activities to deepen learning, including role-play, classroom discussions, and text-to-self connections. These allow students to practice higher-order thinking while staying supported.

✅ Perfect for high school teachers, special education classrooms, and alternate assessment prep.
✅ Teacher-ready with answer keys, SDI notes, and student-friendly materials included.
✅ Flexible for whole group, small group, or 1:1 instruction.

I am beyond grateful to have materials from SpecialEd Simplified! The lessons are broken down and accessible for all of my students. It is much easier to focus on delivering meaningful instruction when I don’t have to worry about developing the lessons myself.

The curriculum is a time saver for busy teachers. The curriculum gives me a place to start instruction, and I don’t have to put in hours searching for picture symbols or coming up with my own ideas from scratch.

I teach a wide variety of grades.  I'm in a small school that has middle and high schools combined.  I teach 6 grades.  So, having pre-made materials that I could print and sort by student made it easy for me to stay organized while working with multiple students on multiple grade levels, ability levels, and subjects all at the same time.  This same binder system also eliminated the need for substitute lesson plan preps as my paraprofessional and the sub were able to easily see where each student was at that moment and continue instruction.

Trying to teach standards to students with significant cognitive, communication, fine motor, gross motor, and social skills deficits is like trying to catch a wild muddy hog! Thankfully SpecialEdSimplified has done exactly what their name says! Taken abstract standards and turned them into accessible and simplified standards for my students. SpecialEdSimplified not only simplified the standards but also my lesson plans!
