The document outlines a lesson plan to teach 4th grade students about various winter holidays, including Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza, and Winter Solstice. The plan involves having students from different religious backgrounds explain their own holiday traditions, using computers, books, drawings, and music to provide information, and assessing student learning through quizzes requiring students to write a paragraph about each holiday discussed. The goal is for students to learn about at least 4-5 holidays and achieve a mastery level of at least 70% on the assessments.

Assure Method Assignment
Analyze the students: 4th grade students, 20 all together, 11 girls, 9 boys. 2 Muslim students, 3
Jewish students, and 2 African American students.
State the objectives: teach students about Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza, Winter Scoliotics,
Boxing Day and other holidays.
Audience: Students in the class
Behaviors: will learn the holidays
Condition: will learn by listening to traditional songs, creating art and listening to
lecture.
Degree: all students will know 80% content by the end of the lessons.
Select methods, media and materials: I would have the students who celebrate different
holidays tell about how they celebrate and what they do. I would use:
Computers, to look up information and show pictures/movies/clips of the holidays.
Books, go to the library and check out books about the holidays and pass around.
drawings
music: I would find traditional music for holidays and play them for the students.
Utilize methods: I would have each student take some notes, draw some pictures, sing
traditional songs and hang up artwork in the classroom about the different holidays they
celebrate.

2. Require participation: I would have the students be able to tell me a little bit of information
about each holiday in a test/quiz. I would hope they would be able to write at least 1 paragraph
(3-5 complete sentences) about each holiday. There are about 4-5 holidays and I would expect
them to get at least 70% or higher.
Evaluate and revise: If the students could not write about the holidays I would them with a
student who knew about the holiday/celebrated the holiday. After teaming up with a student I
would hope that the student who did not know about the holiday to be able to write a
paragraph about what they learned.
