The document outlines an ASSURE lesson plan for a 4th grade class to research and present on holiday traditions from different cultures. The class has 20 students from various backgrounds. Students will work in groups to research a country and create a poster or PowerPoint presentation covering that country's holiday food, songs, decorations, festivals and traditions. The teacher will set up computers and materials, play example music and show pictures, assign groups to countries, and have students present their projects to the class. Students will be evaluated based on the accuracy and preparation of their presentations.

old.
S:
 The fourth grade class will be presenting different holiday traditions from
around the world after conducting research.( in poster or PowerPoint form)
 Students will have a better understanding of diverse cultures from different
parts of the world
 The class will work on their projects in groups, in class, for one week
 95% accuracy
S: methods, media, and materials being used.
 Projector/ Smartboard: these will be used to display pictures in large scale to
the class and also, to be able to show videos of different holiday songs, and
festival videos.
 Computers: students will have access to computers in order to find
information on their presentation, and will be able to create a PowerPoint or
print off their research in order to create a poster.
 Smart Phones: if students would like to use their smart phones throughout
the project in order to get quick information, they may, but will be closely
monitored.
 Poster board/ art supplies: if students choose to make a poster board, one
will be provided and basic art supplies, but students are allowed to bring in
things of their own if they wish.
U:
Before the lesson I will find appropriate websites, pictures, songs, and videos to
show the class as examples for the project. I will also arrange the desk in
groups in order for it to be easier to collaborate on the projects with their
groups. Also, I will need to reserve the correct amount of computers for an
appropriate time for the students to do their research. Finally, I will need to lay
out the material needed for those students who choose to make posters.

R:
To start off the lesson, I will ask the students to share some things they do with
their families around the holidays. Then, I will explain that other places
celebrate in varies ways. During this time I will bring up pictures to show
different decorations, customs, foods, and festivals that are done from all over
the world. Then proceed to play varies holiday music from other countries. Then,
I will give students a moment to think of places they would like to further
research and then I will break them up into groups, where they will decided
which country they would like to do their project on. Following that, the class
will go to the computer lab and begin working on the project. I will inform them
that each project should include: the country’s holiday food, songs, decorations,
festivals, traditions, and whatever else they find interesting. Students will have
3-4 days to get their group project together. By the end of the week students
should be ready to present to the class, and tell them collectively what they
have learned in their research.
E:
I will use the presentation as part of evaluating the students. By their project
being well put together, feels prepared, and shows evidence of group effort. The
project must be accurate and entertaining. The projects must meet the
requirements of including the country’s holiday food, songs, decorations,
festivals, traditions. Each presentation should last at least 3 minutes.
Once the whole class has presented, the students will be asked to write one
paragraph on what they found interesting from the other projects, and how they
felt about the whole experience. I will use this to evaluate their understanding,
and how well I taught the class.
