- 1. Brandon Bowers CI-350 ASSURE Method September 8, 2015 1. Analyze Learners This lesson is prepared for a Special Ed. 1st grade class. There are ten boys and seven girls in the class. Most of the students are white with a few African-Americans and Latinos. About half of the class has mild to severe ADHD, so they have difficulties staying focused in class. Learning styles vary for each student, some may be auditory, visual, or kinetic learners. This lesson needs to have different methods of teaching so that everybody has an equal opportunity to learn the material. This lesson must be created to make learning the months of the year fun and to keep the students focused on the task ahead. Students should know some months of the year, but they may not know the order of them. 2. State Objectives The first grade students will recite all 12 months of the year in order. The students will observe calendars that have pictures related to each month, listen to a song that has a fun tune saying the months of the year, create their own calendars, and finally, each student will be assigned a month and they need to line up according to their month. After studying and learning for a whole week, 80% of the students will recite all of the months in order. 3. Select Methods, Media, and Materials The media that will be used in this lesson is a computer and speakers which will play the song saying the months of the year. All the students will have a calendar showing the 12 months, all with different pictures relating to each month. Another method of learning is

Utilize Media and Materials The teacher will preview the material by playing the song and making sure it works properly and the students will be able to hear it. Also, the teacher needs to view the calendars that will be given to each student, making sure that the students will be able to read them and that they are colorful so it catches the students attention. Each month will have a picture related to that month, for example, January will have a snowflake, February will have a heart, March will have a clover, and so on. The teacher will prepare the material by having the song ready to play and printing off all of the colorful calendars. The seating in the class is arranged so that everybody can hear the song that is being played. The teacher will prepare the learners by telling them the agenda for the week and that they will be evaluated at the end of the week by having to recite the months in order. The teacher will provide the learning experience by first, handing out the colorful calendars. Then, the teacher will play the song. After a few times playing the song, the students will be asked to sing along. Next, the teacher will go over the calendar saying the month and the picture related to each month. Also, students will be allowed to create their own calendars and draw anything they want that will help them remember that month. Finally, each student will be given a month, and by working as a class, they will need to line up in order. At first, they will need to look at their calendars, but by the end of the week, they should be able to work together and line up in order with no calendars. 5. Require Learner Participation Each student should participate in singing the song once they learn the tune. Students need to listen while their teacher uses the calendar to describe the months of the year with the picture
- 3. related with it. Each student will be required to make their own calendars. Each student in the class will be given a month, some months will have two students, and they should work together to line up in the correct order. 6. Evaluate and Revise At the end of the week, the students will be able to line up in the correct order of their given months. Also, each student will get in front of the class and recite the months of the year. The students that recite the months of the year in the correct order will be given a perfect grade and a prize. If many of the students could not remember the months of the year, I would revise the lesson by adding a creative presentation and encourage more class participation.
