The document outlines a lesson plan for teaching college freshmen about the 10 steps in a public relations plan using a smart board. It discusses adapting the lesson plan to ask students questions about their existing knowledge of PR plans and have them complete exercises applying the steps to sample PR statements and missions. It also covers making the lesson plan accessible online for students with learning disabilities and ensuring the smart board can be used by students with disabilities, including translating text for international students.

Public Relations plan.

5. Adaptations to lesson plan

that give them a PR statement/ mission and they have to determine what to do for
each of the 10 steps
● Example lesson plan:

6. Adaptations
● I would allow the lesson plan to be available online for my students who have learning
disabilities.
● I would be aware of my surroundings for students who may come up and use the
interactive board but have a disability ( make sure they can reach the board and use
the tools)
● Also, having the text translated on the slides for international students

7. Using the Resources
● Using the smart board would allow the lesson and learning to be more interactive
which can increase a students memory and allow them to fully understand and
remember information
● Use my resources to find various other lesson plans accessible for smart boards and
successful learning .

8. Supporting Universal Design
● I would make sure the classroom is wheelchair accessible for students who have
disabilities so they can access the board and working with other students throughout
the room.
● Making sure that my slideshow texts are translated to accommodate my students who
are international and need that assistance.
● If a student cannot see or be interactive with the smartboards I will create new and fun
activities for them work on with students as well as help read questions and lessons to
them.
