Class Context:
The class in which this unit is being taught to is a gifted and talented class. Within this class there is still a diverse range of students with different abilities and different learning styles. This class has 25 students in it. Of these there are a few students with behavior issues and one student who is on the autism spectrum. This is a mixed gender class with 16 female and 8 male students.
Behaviour Management:
There are few issues with behaviour management within this class and for this group of students. One of the issues that must be faced with these students is with participation.
