What kinds of activities could you think of as teachers to ensure the inclusiveness of these pupils even in the online distance learning mode?

❖Try to imagine a lesson in which you would have the whole class participate

❖Think about which lesson mode, whether synchronous or asynchronous, you would adopt

❖Consider whether or not you would need the cooperation of the family

❖Consider whether to initially divide the class into small groups and then provide a time for a collective lesson
