ASSURE Revision

Analyze the Learners: I will be teaching the months of the year to a 1st grade Special Education class. There are 10 boys and 7 girls, of which 70% are white, 20% are African-American, and 10% are Hispanic. Seven students in the class have mild to severe ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

State Objective: My students will recite the months of the year after learning the names, organizing flashcards of the seasons and holidays associated with each month, looking at pictures, playing interactive games (grouping students by their birth month), and creating art projects by the end of one and a half weeks with 90% accuracy.

Select methods, medias, and materials: The methods, medias, and materials I will use to teach this lesson include videos describing each month, PowerPoint presentations that list important information about each month and contain pictures, songs to help remember the names and the order of the months, and interactive games that will help my students become familiar with the months of the year.

Utilize media and materials: I will preview the materials I have chosen to make sure they are appropriate. I will prepare the material to make sure I have enough copies/ to make sure the media is working. I will prepare the environment by making sure there are no distractions and that it is the best setting possible to learn in. I will prepare the learners by giving them a bit of an introduction to motivate them and then proceed to the material.

Require learner participation: Each student will be required to take part in all activities such as singing songs and playing games. Their homework will include reciting what they have learned to their parents and worksheets about each month.

Evaluate and revise: My students will be evaluated every other day by way of questions and by reciting the months they have learned so far to be sure that the knowledge gained at the beginning of the week isn’t lost by the end of the week and a half. If I notice a large number of students failing to remember what has been taught, I will set aside time at the end of each lesson to review what has been taught in days past. After the week and a half is up, my final evaluation will be for each student to recite the name of each month of the year to me individually in the correct order, as well as alphabetizing the months, and the presentation of their own calendar they make.
