Friday ASSURE
I. Analyze the Learners: I will be teaching about the Olympics to a 3rd
grade class, 10
boys and 12 girls, 80% white, 15% African-American and 5% Latino. Two of the
students have IEPs for learning disabilities. The students have previously studied
geography of the United States and a few other countries. This unit will build on this
prior knowledge.
II. State Objectives: My third grade students will identify and implement health and fitness
tips to become an Olympic athlete, using a YouTube video, GoNoodle, and Pinterest,
with 95% accuracy by the end of the day.
III. Select Methods, Media and Materials:To meet the differing needs of the students in my
third grade class, I will use the following methods, media, and materials throughout to
ensure student success:
a. YouTube Video- I will use a pre-made teaching video that I have created, to teach
students about health and fitness tricks to become an Olympic athlete. This will
allow them to enjoy the content more and relate concepts to themselves, through
the use of young students in the video.
b. GoNoodle- I will use this to allow students to conduct physical activity they can
easily do at home, that they might see in the summer Olympics. By having the
students participate in these activities, I am helping them meet the fitness portion
of the lesson.

2. c. Pinterest- Students will access the board I have created to learn some Olympic
games they can play at home or do while watching the Olympics to become more
physically fit.
d. Health Journals- I will have the students keep track of their activity and diet for
the following week, to see how well they implemented what we learned to their
lives.
e. Facebook- I will use this to have students post videos of the student implementing
the task they learned on Pinterest.
IV. Utilize Media and Materials:I will preview all materials before the start of the lesson. I
will check to make sure all media materials are working properly. This will include
checking to make sure the YouTube video plays, that GoNoodle works on the
SmartBoard, and that the Pinterest pins are working properly.I will also have the health
journals in a basket by the door, so that students can retrieve them as they leave and
return them every morning for the following week. In addition, I will have the students
desks placed in pods, so that they can see to watch the video, ask questions to their peers,
and to allow enough room for the students to participate in GoNoodle.
V. Require Learner Participation:To engage the students in the lesson of the day, I will
ask them a discussion question, “How do athletes train, eat, and stay fit for the
Olympics.” They will discuss this in their pods, and then they will figure out one answer
to share with the class. After this, I will confirm or disprove their predictions by showing
them a YouTube teaching video I created for them. I have created this video to teach
students health and fitness tricks to become an Olympic athlete. This will allow them

3. enjoy the content more and relate concepts to themselves, through the use of young
students in the video.
After watching the video, I will have the pod groups discuss what they think their
group should keep track of for the following week in their health journal. They will base
these ideas off of the video they watched. They will use these journals over the next
week. Finally, I will give the students a take home assignment in addition to their
journals. They will look at the Pinterest board I have created and pick one of the at home
activities from the board to implement. Then they will video themselves performing an
activity from Pinterest, using a flip video camera from the classroom. Once they perform
the activity, they will post the video on the class Facebook page. They will comment on
how they felt about the activity and whether it met the health or fitness portion of
becoming an Olympic athlete.
VI. Evaluate and Revise:To assess my third grade students throughout, I will do the
following:
a. Encourage class discussion
b. Walk around the room to verify all students are participating and that the
discussion of what to use on their journals involves evidence from class
discussion and the video.
c. Stimulate implementation of concepts by using GoNoodle and asking every
student to participate.
d. Questioning during GoNoodle. about what the sport or activity we are doing is
most like in the Olympic Games.

4. e. Watch videos on Facebook page and look at comments to see if students are
applying the concepts at home.
f. Look at student’s health journals to make sure they mention 1-2 things from class
and apply them daily.
