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% AfricanAmerican, and 10% Hispanic.
S (State The Objective)- My first grade class will learn the months of the year. First the
students will recite the 12 months of the year while reading them from large flash cards.
Once the students develop an understanding of the 12 months they then will categorize
them into the four seasons. The students will then demonstrate their knowledge of the
months of the year by creating their own calendars to present to the class. As a part of that
presentation they will recite the 12 months that make up the year. 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
flash cards, show and tell, and overhead projectors. 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.
