Using UDL to teach conjugation of regular -ar verbs

I was pretty blown away by our UDL lab.  I wanted to jump right in to my assignment to apply UDL concepts to my lesson plan and was very challenged by that!  As a Spanish teacher, I am constantly focusing on the four components of communication; reading, writing, listening, and speaking.  In fact, I tend to save much of the writing for homework and focus on the listening and speaking in the classroom.  I do this to harness the benefits of spontaneity to produce speech responses.  What many subjects gain from a lack of spontaneity online, foreign language teachers lose.  We try to get quick reactions with language, with less time for reflection, because that is how we use language and how we build confidence in speech in the new language.  I found this to be a huge barrier in applying UDL principles to my lesson plan.

I dove in and just tried to identify barriers and features however, as they are shown in this link.  About a quarter of the way through the lesson plan I decided I need to completely revamp the lesson into a WebQuest activity.  This way I can have students work through the comparing and contrasting activities, and the grammatical activities while providing adequate alternatives and opportunities to learn.  This was a major change in thinking for me because the lesson I wrote would normally take one class period.  A WebQuest would take much more work for me, and much more time for my students. But, aside from learning how to read, write, listen to, and speak Spanish, the goal is for my students to learn how to be learners and I think such a project would be worthwhile for all of these goals!
