Revised ASSURE
12/12/13
A (Analyze The Audience)- The audience that I will be teaching is a classroom of first graders
who require special education. There are 17 students: 10 male, 7 female, and 7 of them have
ADHD. The race of the students varies, they consist of 70% white, 20% African-American, and
10% Hispanic.
S (State The Objective)- My first grade class will learn the months of the year. I will begin the
lesson by writing the months of the year on the smartboard and have the class repeat them out
loud with me. I will then call each student to the board and let them write each month
underneath what I have already written. This will help in familiarizing each student with the
months of the year. Once the students develop an understanding of the 12 months of the year I
will then use a YouTube video that sings a song about the twelve months of the year to
familiarize the students of the sequential order of the 12 months. To ensure that the students
have a complete understanding of the months of the year I will allow them to use this website
to complete a puzzle quiz. Once there is a full understanding of the months the students will
create a calendar out of construction paper using markers, and glue to present to the class. . I
expect that the students will complete this objective with 90% accuracy in a two week time
period.
S (Select Methods, Media, Material)- The methods of achieving the objective stated above
involve working together in groups and using hands on activities. The media will consist of a
smart board, flash cards, show and tell, and overhead projectors, YouTube, and a web 2.0
application for first graders. The materials used in this activity are scissors, construction paper,
glue, and crayons.
U (Utilize Media and Material)- I will utilize the media and material by using a projector to
show short videos to help aid in the memorization of the months of the year.
R (Require Learner Participation)- I will require learner participation by working in groups and
having group discussions about the objective.
E (Evaluate and Revise)- I will evaluate the knowledge of the students by having a group quiz
using the flash cards. I will present the flash cards out of order and ask each child to recite the
month that is written on the card.
