Helpful Hints:
1. You may find it helpful to note the component number (i.e., A1.1, A1.2) immediately following the place in your submission where you think you’ve addressed that component.
2. Keep in mind, ideas/statements may address more than one component.
3. You may find it helpful to use the underlined key words found in each component. While you still need to explain the concepts in your submission, use of these specific words helps demonstrate your knowledge of key UDL language.
