Monday 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 recognize a fable as compared to other types of literature. They will do this by,

watching a video-story of a fable on the SmartBoard, viewing and discussing a poster about fa-

bles that will be posted in my blog, and creating a comparative graphic organizer that I found on

Pinterest. My students will accomplish this by the end of Monday 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 video-story from my Wiki page, a fables

poster from my blog, and a pinterest-found graphic organizer.

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

large piece of graphic organizer paper.

Utilize Media and Materials:

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

sibilities that would effect to my plan. In case of not being able to access the poster or not being

able to use my computer in general, I will have a printed version of the poster for my students to

view and discuss.

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

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

pare the environment, by making sure that there arena distractions on the screen, or throughout

my classroom. I will prepare the learners by introducing Fables through the fable video story,

and I will provide a learning experience by making sure that my students are constantly interest-

ed and keeping my lesson fun.

R.

Require Learner Participation:

In order to require learner participation, I have incorporated discussions throughout my assign-

ment, to keep them thinking and participating.

E.

Evaluate and Revise:

To evaluate if my students are able to recognize a fable as compared to other types of literature,

I will have my students create their own comparative graphic organizer detailing fables to any

different type of literature that they wish. They will incorporate the different aspects of a fable in

order to compare the two genres. !
