2. A- Analyze Learners
• Russian students that just arrived to the United
States
• Russia Celebrates “Victory Day” with fireworks
on May 9 (Independence from Nazi Germany)
• ages 10 to 19
• 8 males and 7 females
• all vision impaired

3. S- State Objectives
By the end of the lesson the students will work with
a partner to compare how the 4th of July is similar to and
different from Victory Day by producing 3 similarities and
differences. After listening to an auditory clip and having a
class discussion students will dictate a history of the 4th of
July listing at least 3 facts including the Declaration of
Independence, the Founding Fathers and one other fact
about the origins of the 4th of July (e.g., Boston Tea Party,
Revolutionary War). Finally, after a taste-testing
experience, building on their understanding of the customs
and traditions of the holiday students will develop an essay
on what they want their first 4th of July experience to be.

4. S- Select methods, Media,
and Materials
• iPads for dictation services
• Watermelon, sliced hotdog, chips and cookies
• Auditory clip of reactions to the Declaration of
Independence (colonial people running through
the streets and celebrating the Declaration)

5. U- Utilize Media and
Materials
• iPads will be used for students to dictate their
essays
• Watermelon, hotdogs slices, chips, and cookies
will give students a taste of the 4th of July
(provided by the cafeteria)
• The auditory clip will facilitate the students’
imaginations as if they were in the scene

6. R- Require Learner
Participation
• Bell Ringer: tell your elbow buddy your favorite memory from
Victory Day (Russian Holiday)
• Class discussion
• History of the 4th of July: America unsettled, Founding Fathers,
Declaration of Independence
• Auditory bit of reactions
• Modern traditions of the 4th of July: cookouts, fireworks
• Talk to your elbow buddy about similarities and differences
between Victory Day and 4th of July
• Sampling 4th of July cuisine (watermelon, sliced hotdog, chip
and cookies)
• Work on writing sample of what students want their first 4th of
July to be

7. E- Evaluate and Revise
• I would like to keep the history portion of the 4th of July
brief, but I think the students need some background
information.
• It would probably be noisy will all the students trying to
dictate to their iPads all at the same time.
• I am limited on the food provided, because it must be
from the cafeteria, so I tried to keep it simple.
