This document outlines an ASSURE lesson plan for teaching 4th grade students about holiday traditions from different cultures. The lesson plan analyzes the learners, which include 20 students from various backgrounds. The objectives are for students to describe and recognize different holiday traditions through pictures, explanations, and personal accounts. The methods selected include breaking students into groups with diverse representations to share their traditions, showing an educational video, and having students research traditions online. The lesson plan requires student participation through discussion, presentations, and identifying new facts about holidays. Finally, students will be evaluated on their collaboration, knowledge gained, and engagement with the lesson materials.
