- 1. Sydney Wibberg ASSURE Method Number 2 Analyze Learners I have a Special Education classroom of 17, 1st grade students, 10 of which are boys and 7 are girls. The class is 70% Caucasian, 20% African American, and 10% Hispanic. Seven of my students have mild to severe Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. State Objectives My Special Education classroom of 17, 1st grade students with 10 boys and 7 are girls, seven of which have mild to severe Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, will learn each month in the year, watching YouTube videos, making our own calendars, using grouping, and singing songs. At the end of the week, my children will be able to tell me all of the months in the year with at least 90% accuracy. Select Methods, Media, and Materials YouTube video-To show the students what calendars are and give them information about them Poster- To discuss in detail the structure of a calendar together Construction paper- To make our calendars Coloring utensils- To make our calendars Yarn- To make our calendars Smart Board- To draw and demonstrate an example of a calendar Calendars- To show a real-life example Utilize Media and Materials Preview- I will be sure to have examples already drawn up for me to put on the Smart Board. Also, I will have a calendar sitting at every child’s desk that I will make sure has all of the months. I will listen to all music and watch the videos before the students enter the classroom.
- 2. Prepare Materials- I will make sure I have everything that I need to complete my lessons for the week that I am working on it. Desks will be facing forward so everyone can see the Smart Board. Prepare Environment- I will make sure that I have all of my notes with me when my lesson starts, and that the poster is already hanging in front of the class. Also, that I have enough calendars for each student. I will have materials ready for me to pass out to make the calendars. A space in the middle of the room will be cleared for our grouping activity and my large, carpet calendar. I will be sure that I have my CD in the CD player and my YouTube video already preloaded so they are ready to play for whenever we need them. Prepare Students- I will tell them about our activity the day before, and to better prepare my students, will have the calendars available for them to look at. When they walk in the next day, the calendars will be out for them on their desks. Provide the Learning Experience- First we will look over our calendars together, realizing that each page has a different set of numbers. I will explain that they are each their own separate months. We will analyze the pictures on the poster together. I will recite the months to them as we look through the calendar, and we will watch a YouTube video about the calendar. Then I have each child stand up, come to the carpet, and I will ask them what month they are born in, and have them stand in groups in order. While they are out of their desks and on the carpet, we will look at our carpet calendar. We will also listen to a song about the months and follow along with the carpet. When the students go back to their desks, I will draw an example of the calendar my students will create on the Smart Board. Since I have all of my materials ready, I will pass them out, and let my students be as artistic as they want. Require Learner Participation All of my students will participate in all of the activities I have planned. All of these activities I have planned are creative and active for all of the students. These activities also combine the music smart, picture smart, logic smart, and people smart learning styles of the children in my class. Evaluate and Revise At the end of the day when the lesson is over, I will have the students try to recite the month of the year back to me. They can go back to any of the previous resource that we have used in class to help them jog their memories. The students should be able to do this with at least 90% accuracy by the end of the week. If not, then I will revise my lesson, so it will fit in with different learning styles.
