This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching first grade students the months of the year using the ASSURE method. The lesson plan will incorporate different activities like singing songs, creating posters, writing stories, playing computer games, and making calendars. Methods will include breaking the lesson into smaller segments using different media formats to accommodate different learning styles. Materials will come from the classroom and library. The teacher will preview materials and prepare the environment. Students will be required to actively participate in hands-on activities and work in groups with individualized instruction. The teacher will review information throughout the lesson by testing prior knowledge, having students create a poster, and presenting a calendar at the end of the week to assess understanding.

ASSURE Method
Using the ASSURE Method explained and describe in the content material, design a lesson
using the ASSURE method for 1 of the following scenario in a word document and
uploaded it to the Assure assignment Drop Box Provided. In the document you will use the
acronym and elaborate on each latter as it was shown on the examples.
A: Teaching the months of the year to a 1st grade class, Special ed, 10 boys, 7 girls, 70% white
20% African-American and 10% Hispanic.7 students in the class have mild to severe ADHD
(attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
S: My 1st grade classroom will recite the 12 months of the year after singing songs, creating
posters, writing stories, playing computer games, watching videos and making their own
calendars by the end of the week with 80% accuracy.
S: The methods, media, and materials that I will use will best accommodate the students’ needs.
Since I will be instructing children with disabilities and learning impairments, such as ADHD, I
will break down the lessons into smaller segments. Instead of spending 30 minutes on one topic,
I will spend 10 minutes on each topic. Some of the media formats I will use include computers
and text (for visual learners), music (for audio learners), and show and tell (for hands on
learners). I will obtain materials from the school and public library, as well as materials already
in the classroom. By incorporating numerous media formats and methods, the students will
achieve greater success.
U: Before I present my lesson to the students, I will review the 5 P’s. I will preview and prepare
the materials to ensure they are appropriate for the students. I will test the music and computer
beforehand to confirm they will work during class time. I will also prepare the environment and
prep group stations. I will prepare the students in advance and inform them of the activities that
they will be expected to complete.

2. R: I will require the learners to participate in all aspects of the lesson. I will keep their attention
focused on the lesson by including fun and exciting activities. I will make sure that the students
are actively participating in all activities provided. For the students with mild ADHD, I will
ensure they are located closer to the front of the classroom to prevent any distractions. Students
will work in groups, while receiving individualized instruction.
E: Throughout the lesson, I will be reviewing all information to guarantee student success.
Before I begin the lesson, I will ask the students to play a game on the iPad, which will test their
prior knowledge on the months of the year. This will provide me with information, such as what
areas to focus on. During the lesson, I will ask the students to create a poster using at least two
months of the year. At the end of the lesson, I will ask the students to create a calendar of their
own. Students will then present their work at the end of the week by shown and tell. I will use
the knowledge gained through their presentations to better understand what areas to need to be
reviewed.
