Friday ASSURE Method

!A.

Analyze Learners:

My students are a 3rd grade class of 8-9 year olds. There are 20 children, 11 of which are boys

and 9 of which are girls. 80% of my students are White, and 20% of my students are African

American. My students all live in an Appalachian area.

!S.

State Objective:

My students will present a fable of their own. They will do this by watching “How to Make a

Story with PowerPoint” video on YouTube, as a class using SmartBoard, they will use

PowerPoint to bring their fable to life, and will present Fable PowerPoint Stories on the

SmartBoard for our class. My students will accomplish this by the end of Friday with 100%

accuracy.

!S.

Select Methods, Media, and Materials:

The methods that I have chosen, all link back to my students age, and ability level. My 3rd grade

students have grown up using technology, and I know that this is the way to grab their interest.

Therefor, I have chosen many different types of technology to interest my students.

!

The media that I will be using for this lesson, will be a Youtube video, my Smart-board, and

Powerpoint.

The materials that I will need to teach this lesson, will be my Smart board, and my computer, as

well as iPads and or a computer for each student to create their final products.

!U.

Utilize Media and Materials:

Due to the fact that my media is mostly revolving around my computer, there are a number

possibilities that would effect to my plan. In case of the technology in my classroom not working

out for the videos, I will have the video downloaded to each iPad, so that my students will still be

able to view it. I would reserve a computer lab to use the up to date computers to create their

PowerPoints, if needed.

Before my lesson, I will preview the materials, by making sure that my computer and

SmartBoard are up and running. I will prepare the materials, by preparing all of my links, and

making sure that they are still there and relevant. I will prepare the environment, by making sure

that there are no distractions on the screen, or throughout my classroom. I will prepare the

learners by explaining what they are going to be creating, and I will provide a learning

experience by making sure that my students are constantly interested and keeping my lesson fun,

while I provide examples and ideas to work with.

R.

Require Learner Participation:

In order to require learner participation, I will ask students to explain their ideas that they are

going to make before they start their fable.

!E.

Evaluate and Revise: To evaluate if my students can present a fable of their own, I will watch

and carefully look over each child’s fable presentation as they present it, as well as while they

progress though it.
