Introduction
The following lesson plan is written for a class of twenty-five students in the Ninth Grade. The class assignment is designed to attain objectives in Science, namely Human Anatomy and Physiology. Of the 25 students, 8 are immigrants. Five students come from Portugal, two come from Puerto Rico, and one very recently from Brazil. There are seven students who qualify for Individual Education Plans or 504 plans. Two of these students display behaviors that are characteristic of ADHD, three have different types of dyslexia including, reading, phonetics, and letter reversal. One student is deaf and one is non-ambulatory.

Cultural diversity should not interfere with the lesson at hand, but, students of diverse cultures will be embraced by the majority groups as they begin to work collaboratively and, assist and depend on another.
