Silly or Sensible?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Is it silly or sensible? That's a great question, and it's the question that will drive this entire lesson. Learners with special needs and visual impairments work together to analyze verbal information. The instructor makes a statement, and they determine if the statement is silly or sensible. The purpose of the lesson is to increase problem solving skills and concept development.
