Lesson 4: Pictures of the Last Supper (Describe all pictures for students with visual
impairments.)
Lesson 5: Objects or items seen in church or
pictures of them
Students with fine motor difficulties will need
their booklets pre-cut and pre-folded or will need assistance with them. Use a name stamp for the front of the booklet if student cannot print.
THE CHURCH GATHERS TOGETHER (page 43)
Students could bring pictures of people who go to Mass with them for page 2 of the booklet.
LITURGY OF THE WORD (page 44)
Provide pictures of the Gospel story for page 3 of
the booklet. Give students the option to describe or dramatize the important message rather than drawing it.
WE BELIEVE IN GOD; WE PRAY FOR ALL PEOPLE (page 44)
Students with fine motor difficulties will not be able to print “I Do.” An oral response is acceptable. Many students at this age will need help with page 5 of the booklet. Invite some older students into class to provide some assistance on an individual basis.
LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST (page 45)
Allowing some students to print only the first letters of peoples’ names would be an adaptation for those who cannot write in the space provided. A sticker with the priest’s name on it could be given to each to paste to their booklets. Provide a stamp of the date for the class to use.
CONCLUSION (page 46)
If a student has a hearing impairment, it would be helpful if the prayer could be illustrated in visual symbols and the student could be directly facing the teacher as the prayer is articulated. No additional modifications are needed.
