This lesson plan uses the ASSURE model to teach 2nd grade students how to tell time. It analyzes the learners, which include 23 students of diverse backgrounds with various learning styles. The objectives are for students to recognize and tell time on an analog clock to the hour and 5-minute increments. Materials include clocks, videos, and worksheets. Students will watch a video, discuss time, and make paper plate clocks. They will then work in groups matching digital and analog times. The lesson evaluates students by asking questions about clock parts and time telling. Revisions will be made based on students' understanding of telling time.

13. Utilize Media, Materials, and Methods
Preview of Materials:
• Students watch a video titled “Time for Friends”.
• After watching the video, the students will look at assorted
Clocks (Individual Manipulative Clocks).
Prepare Materials:
• Ensure projector works
• Internet, Prezi, Microsoft are functioning
• Make sure each student has Paper Plates. Assorted colored
markers, different printed time on cards, blank clock print out,
brad fasteners, hour and minute cut outs

14. Utilize Media, Materials, and Methods
Utilize Materials:
• Show a video titled “Time for Friends” to the students.
• After watching the video, the students will predict which
hand to use to tell time.
• The students will then get into groups of 3 or 4. The
teacher will distribute the information to each group.
• Using the given information, that serves as their tools,
students will have to make a clock when given the
materials.
• Each group would then have a chance to create a
presentation on the computer and input their times. The
computers in the class would serve as the chosen software
to use for their data and presentation.

15. Utilize Media, Materials, and
Methods
• 1) Pass out one paper plate, blank clock print out, sample clock with
numbers, hour and minute cut out, markers and brad fasteners.
• 2) Tell students to look at the sample clock print outs and write the hours
of the clock as shown form the print out. The students should write only
numbers 1-12 and then numbers in fives (five, ten, fifteen, etc.)
• 3)Assist the students with attaching the hour and minute hand cut-outs,
the clock with their written number and the brad fastener to the paper
plate. The paper plate and cut outs should already have a hole for the
students.
• 4) Once the paper plate clocks are completed, the students will have one
minute to place their analog clocks on the time given to them on the cards
taped face down in front of them.
• 5) The students will take turns and one by one show their printed cards of
the digital time and share with the class their analog time on their paper
plate clocks.

teacher.
• This introductory lesson on telling time exposes students to clocks and
how they work. Students will begin to understand how to tell time and
how the two separate hands on the clock operate. They will also gain an
understanding of the concept of time in general.
• An evaluation will be conducted on the students at
the end of class before they leave.
• Questions on the evaluation will include:

22. Evaluate and Revise
After completing the lesson,
• Do the students have a better idea of the moving parts on the
face of the clock and what they tell us?“ (Hands and the hour
and minute)
• Are the students able to tell how many minutes are in one
hour?"(60).
• Can the students set their clocks to the time that the teacher
has modeled on a digital or analog clock?
• Are the students able to present their finished product and
share with the class their analog time?
• Can the students write on a sheet of paper what the time
would look like on a clock after the teacher orally gives
random times and ask the students to attempt to set their
clocks to the correct time? (Monitor students for understanding by
walking around the room as you call out the different times).

23. Evaluate and Revise
• After completing the lesson,
• Can the students match the time on the analog clock
with the digital clock using the computers in class with
the internet resource provided?
• Can the students log into the website and play the
educational game without little to no difficulty?
• Overall, do the students have a better idea of telling
time?

24. Evaluate and Revise
