1. Plant Growth and Reproduction:
Day 2 The Reproductive Parts of the flower
Introduction
The ASSURE model is an instructional guide for planning and conducting
lessons that integrate media and technology while focusing on the learner's
needs. It is based on six classroom procedures that Analyze Learners, State
Objectives, Select Methods, Media, and Materials, Utilize Media and Materials,
Require Learner Participation, and Evaluate and Revise.
Analyze Learners
Learner’s General Characteristics
The instructional unit is designed for an average 7th grade classroom. The
students range from 12 to 14 years old. The students come from various
socioeconomic statuses with 70% of the students being white, while 20% African-
American and 10% Hispanic. 10 of the students are boys, while 7 are girls.
Entry Competencies
The students have knowledge and experience with:
1. Using a class Facebook page
2. Working with Twitter.
3. Working in small groups to collaborate.
4. Using YouTube.

2. Learning Styles
The students for the most part slightly under their reading level. They do not
respond to oral lecturing and instead prefer audio and visual means as a way to
present and learn material. Most do not test well making rubrics the most
popular means for grading objective achievement.
State Objectives
At the end of this lesson which is estimated to last one class day, the students
will have learned the reproductive parts a flower and their functions including the
pistil, stamen, anther, buds, and pollen. The students will have constant
reinforcement and support throughout the process and may use the YouTube
video at any time throughout the class to assist them. At the end of the class, my
students will be able to successfully name and label the pistil, anther, and
stamen of a flower and state their functions with 100% profiency.
Select Methods, Media, and Materials
The Method chosen for this lesson was large-group instruction followed by
individual work by means of a Facebook response. The lesson will begin with the
instructor showing the reproductive parts of a flower on the SMART Board. The
instructor will then play the “Parts of the Flower” YouTube Video several times
until it appears that the students can recite the lyrics and associate them with
diagrams on the video. After the song has been sung several times the class will

3. be asked to reply to a Facebook post on the class Facebook page that correlates
with video that was presented in class.
Utilize Media and Materials
Preview the Materials
The teacher samples the YouTube video to ensure it loads properly and that the
classroom speakers are functioning properly.
Prepare the Materials
The teacher ensures the SMART Board and internet are running smoothly to
view the YouTube video. The Facebook response question is thought of ahead of
time and carefully thought out.
Prepare the Environment
The YouTube is loaded up on the SMART Board. Diagrams from the internet on
plant reproductive structures are recited prior to watching the video.
Prepare the Learners
The students are told that they will be learning the reproductive parts of a flower
by use of song with visual aids.
Provide the Learning Experience
The teacher will begin by going over the parts of the flower using diagrams that
were prepared from the internet. The teacher will then show the YouTube video

4. “Parts of a Flower”. The teacher will then replay the video several times until it
appears that everyone is reciting the lyrics from memory.
Require Learner Participation
Large Group Activities
In the beginning of the lesson, the class will follow along as the teacher explains
the parts of the flower. The class will also sing along to YouTube video.
Small Group Activities
After the video has been played, students will be asked to respond to a
Facebook post on the class Facebook page.
Technology
Students will view a YouTube video on a SMART Board as well as interact with
the class on the class Facebook page.
The class Twitter page will be used at the beginning of the class as a “bellringer”
to see what was leaned from the previous day’s assignment on Bean Planting.
Evaluate and Revise
Assessment of Learner Achievement
Students’ knowledge of the lesson can be gaged by listening to them sing the
correct lyrics of the YouTube video as well as their response on the Facebook
page.
Evaluation of Media and Methods

5. The students will be asked at the end of the day what part of the lesson they
liked the most and what part they liked the least.
Evaluation of Overall Instruction
At the end of the lesson students will be able to label a blank diagram of the
flower.
