ASSURE Method-Wednesday
A-Analyze Learners: This is a 3rd grade class with 18 students. There are 8 girls in the class
and 10 boys. Out of the 18 students there are 3 African American students, 2 Chinese students,
and 1 Jewish student.
S-State Objective: My students will be able to describe specific landmarks, people, historic
facts, heritage, and culture about Oceania by the end of the day at an accuracy of 90% by reading
a blog, creating their own blog, looking at poster made on Glogster, and creating their own
poster made on Glogster.
S-Select Methods, Media, and Materials: The students will first pull out their textbooks and
read the chapter about Oceania with a partner. The two students will take turns reading
paragraphs out loud to help perfect their reading skills. Once the reading is complete, the class
will have a discussion about what was read. I will then take the whole class to the computer lab
to complete two projects that I assigned to the students. The students will have to read a blog that
I made about Oceania. The blog explains what countries make up Oceania and the animals that
inhabit it. The students will then be required to create their own blog based on what they read
and the blog that I created that they read online. After the students write their blog, the students
will have to respond to one other student’s blog in the class. The students will then have to
provide the URL to their blog and their name to me on a class sheet I will have sitting in the
computer lab. Once they have wrote their blog, they will look at the poster I proved for the
students on Glogster. The students will create their own Glogster account and create their own
2. Glogster poster about Oceania. The poster must have one video attached, at least five pictures,
and two large descriptions or five small descriptions.
U-Utilize Media and Materials: The morning before the students will be creating their blog
and poster; I will make sure the websites are working properly and the provided examples of the
Glogster poster I am providing and the online blog I created are easy to access. The students will
be able to easily access both of these applications by getting on the class Facebook page. While
in the classroom, I will make sure every student is reading the chapter out of their book with a
partner and taking turns when reading aloud to each other. When we have our class discussion, I
will make sure the students are heading in the right direction, so they will be able to complete
their blog and poster properly. I would not allow my students to go to the computer lab without a
clear idea of what I expect from them.
R-Require Learner Participation: The students must get with a partner and read aloud to each
other every other paragraph. This will help their reading skills tremendously, and will be an easy
way for the students to receive participation points. Once in the computer lab the students will
have to get online on a computer and go to the class Facebook page. The students will then be
able to easily access the premade Glogster poster and the blog I created. The students will look at
both and, as I explained in class, create their own blog and poster on Glogster. The students must
provide a URL to me and their name so I can access their completed blog and poster. I also want
to know whose blog they responded to in class.
E-Evaluation and Revision: At the end of the day, I will ask the students one-by-one to tell my
something they learned or found interesting about Oceania to make sure they all had a decent
understanding of the lesson. The blog the students created and response to one other student will
3. be worth a total of fifteen points together. If the students only provide me with their blog they
will get ten out of fifteen points, and if they only give me a response they will only get five out
of fifteen points. The students will also receive a total of twenty pints for completing their poster.
These points will be rewarded for following the directions and completing the poster as I asked.
The students will either get the full points or they will get zero. If the computer lab is unavailable
or internet access is down, I will read the blog to my students in class since I have a paper copy
and tell the students to hand write what they would type on their blog. The students would trade
papers with one other person and respond to their blog. I would take up everyone’s paper once
complete for grading. The poster would be done on paper with crayons, colored pencils, and/or
markers if the internet was down or computer lab wasn’t available. I would expect the students to
be very creative and use a lot of color. I would make sure I told them this before they started, so
they know what is expected.
