ASSURE METHOD
Analyze the Learner-
The class that I will be teaching to will be a group of high school seniors around the ages
of 17-18 years old, of a predominantly white area in West Virginia, who are taking my
class out of the necessity for college, and want of the class. This is not a core class that
every student has to go through so I know I can teach at a more in depth level because
the interest in the subject is higher in these students. However, being teenagers, my
students still have the tendencies to get distracted easily, thus, having to make the
assignments a little more hands on and less lecture
State the Objective-
A-Audience-
My students
B-Behavior-
Will fully understand how World War I ended and what caused it, as well as knowing
what technology was used to win the war
C-Condition-
By using Youtube, Podcasts, and a classroom Pinterest page I have created.
D-Degree-
At 100% accuracy
Select the Method, Media, and Materials-
Method- It would be best for this group of students, for me as the teacher to use hands
on activities to form a good student/teacher interaction. After finishing the hands on
activities, allow the students to learn off of each other in a group based and student
centered work environment.
Media- I believe that using Youtube Videos and interactive maps will be the best use of
media because they will be the best source of first-hand information. Also, using social
media and blogging sites will allow my students to successfully stay in touch with each
other. Where Youtube videos can show clips of the actual war and interactive maps can
show where and when everything that happened during the war, happened.
2. Materials- I will be using mainly internet and offline programs to do my teaching, like
youtube, PowerPoint, and google. The other portion will be providing poster material
for students to do their group presentations at the end of the week.
U-Utilize the Materials-
To utilize the materials that I will be using for my lesson plan, I will again be
showing my students a youtube video, then letting each group listen to a
podcast that mimics the voice of the world leader in the country that their
group has.
R-Require Learner Participation-
In order to get the attention of my class, I would start by asking the students
how they have done on their social media pages, I will ask to see them and have
each group show me on my computer. Afterwards, I would show a video about
the end of World War I and the technologies used. Then lastly I would finish by
having each student make a pinterest and follow my page so they can acquire
examples of pictures for their final projects.
E-Evaluate and Revise-
For students at the high level my seniors would be at, evaluating them should
not be necessary, however, for precautionary measures, I would keep up on the
blogs and Facebook pages that my students have made for each of their groups.
I would randomly go onto the blogs and pages throughout the week and ask
questions on how everything is going with the project. Ask them what new
information they have learned from researching their country that they have
taken over in their group. This allows me to see who does and does not know
the information on that particular topic. In my student centered classroom
however, they will rely on the philosophy of “Ask 3 and then me.”
