 * Graffiti Wall: Teaching Strategy. **

A Graffiti wall is a collaboration of ideas and concepts in which the students have come up with. Students are encouraged to be creative using coloured makers to make the wall interesting. Each student is therefore presented the opportunity to record their response in writing and or drawing pictures. For a special education student, this could be an interesting way to be inclusive with out drawing additional attention to the child. It provides the opportunity for them to learn the same as the other students but respond at their own ability. This could be used in a literature class where the novel may be ‘Little Miss Muffet’ in which after reading the students have to tell a recount, however this can be done in what ever form they choose, ie drawing or writing. This is a great way to get a student involved who has a learning disability as they have the opportunity to feel part of the activity but achieving the same academic outcomes as the other children. This is a great way of creating an inclusive lesson for every student. A comprehension lesson may also be the focus of this strategy to gain better understanding of the book, this could also include understanding an element of grammar for example; a comas. Rather then writing in their books they could do it on the wall. The opportunities are endless and each time its an exciting way to change up the lesson. Reference: [] Viewed on the 20th of July 2011
