ASSURE METHOD
Scenario #1
A: Analyze Learners
The learners are a class of special needs 1st grade children. There are ten boys and 7 girls. 70% white,
20% African American, and 10% Hispanic. Seven of the students have ADHD. So in doing this lesson I will
need to keep their attention and keep them busy, but also keep it simple.
S: State Objective
This group of special needs 1st graders will learn all 12 months of the year in order that they occur by
having a sheet that has all the names of the months in order and will recite them out loud together as a
group a couple times slowly, so they will know what the words look like and how to pronounce them.
Then the teacher will teach them a song step by step, making sure they understand, this process will be
repeated every day. There will also be a web quest that the teacher will help them with. By the end of
the week, the students will recite all the months of the year with 100% accuracy.
S: Select Methods, Materials, and Media
The materials that will be needed for this lesson will be the handout for the students to be able to read
from. The teacher will also need the smart board to show the words for the song and a list of the
months to help with reading the months out loud and there will be a voki to welcome the kids and give
and introduction to the lesson. The teacher will also need a cd player and music to play the song, and
crayons and plain paper for the follow up activities. The will need to reserve the computer lab for the
kids to use for the web quest that needs to be made that goes along with the twelve months of the year.
U: Utilize Media and Materials
Before teaching the lesson, look over all the materials, make sure you have everything you need and
there is no mistakes. Then before class starts make sure the music and smart board are working, and
already have the handouts on their desks and ready for when they get to class. The voki needs to be
made and ready to go to introduce the class for the lesson, along with making sure the web quest is
ready, that all the links are clean, and that the computer lab is reserved for as long as needed. (max of
three days)
R: Require Learner Participation
Throughout the whole week, the students should be participating in all of the activities. For the follow
up activity, the students will pick their favorite months, draw a picture describing that month on a piece
of paper with crayons, then write a sentence on why it’s their favorite.
2. E- Evaluate and Revise
During the week, pay attention to the students to make sure they are participating and understanding
what is going on. If not, take a moment to help explain it them more as a whole group. To asses them,
have them recite the months and sing the song by themselves as a group with your help.
