Assure method unit plan revised
- 1. The “Genre” In Writing An ASSURE Method Plan
- 2. Analyze the Learner • I’m teaching a private school 7th grade class English class. • My classroom has 16 students. • 9 girls and 7 boys • 2 of my girls are vision impaired, • 3 (2 boys and 1 girl) have ADD, • 1 student has an IEP, • And 1 student has Asperger's.
- 3. Main Objective • My students will demonstrate their understanding of the different types of genres and writing styles by creating a poster of a redesigned book cover and present it to the class, complete daily mini assignments that assess their understanding of the topics, and complete a writing assignment/ reflection at the end of the week.
- 4. Day-to-Day • Day One- I will introduce my students to genre and writing style. The definitions and most common of both will be discussed after watching videos and will begin brainstorming as a class for the poster assignment. We will also read an excerpt from chapter one of The Outsiders and discuss what genre it could be, it will also be a podcast they will listen to for homework. • Day Two- The class will answer a few questions based on a digitally altered photos, and will prepare a presentation they will do on Zello.
- 5. Day-to-Day • Day Three: The students will finish their posters, and do a mock presentation with another student to practice. There will be a pop-quiz. The students will also watch a video on arts and bots, and will compete a mini project based on that video.
- 6. Day-to-Day • Day Four- The students will present their posters and have a list of well formed questions to ask their peers after they’ve presented. • Day Five- Students will be reading the rest of chapter one of The Outsiders on their own after they complete the online response and reflection.
