1) The document outlines a lesson plan for teaching 3rd grade students how to write and illustrate their own fable. 2) Key aspects of the plan include having students watch a YouTube video on writing fables, accessing project guidelines on a class Facebook page, and creating their own fable by the end of the lesson. 3) A variety of technologies will be used, including YouTube, QR codes, Facebook, a smart board, and student iPads or computers to ensure student engagement. Backups are in place if any technologies fail.

1. Thursday 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 write, illustrate and create their own fable. They will do this by Watching “How
to Write a Fable” video on Youtube by QR, and accessing and reviewing project guidelines
posted on the Class Facebook Group. My students will accomplish this by the end of Thursday
with 100% accuracy.

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.

2. The media that I will be using for this lesson, will be a Youtube video, a QR code, and a class
Facebook group.
The materials that I will need to teach this lesson, will be my Smart board, and my computer, as
well as iPads and or a computer for each student.

U.
Utilize Media and Materials:
Due to the fact that my media is mostly revolving around my computer, there are a number
possibilities that would effect to my plan. In case of the technology in my classroom not working
out for the videos, I will have the video downloaded to each iPad, so that my students will still be
able to view it. I will also have printed copies of the project guidelines, in the situation that our
Facebook group is not working correctly for us.
Before my lesson, I will preview the materials, by making sure that my computer and
SmartBoard are up and running. I will prepare the materials, by preparing all of my links, and
making sure that they are still there and relevant. I will prepare the environment, by making sure
that there are no distractions on the screen, or throughout my classroom. I will prepare the
learners by explaining what they are going to be creating, and I will provide a learning
experience by making sure that my students are constantly interested and keeping my lesson fun,
while a provide examples and ideas to work with.

3. R.
Require Learner Participation:
In order to require learner participation, I will ask for questions after the video, and have students
to a “quick review” of what they are going to do.
!
E.
Evaluate and Revise: To evaluate if my students can write, illustrate, and create their own fable, I
will make sure to let my students take freedom in their ideas and methods while making their
fable. I will be there for support, but not to tell them exactly what to do.
