1. Assure for day 1
Analyze Learners- There are ten girls and twelve boys in my class of 5th graders with a total of
twenty-two students. None of my students have disabilities but they are all culturally diverse. My
5th grade students have previous knowledge in researching material and working in groups. They
know how to organize information and present it in a clear and concise manner. Most of my
students prefer to work in groups and collaborate together. My 5th graders prefer hand on
activities but they do not have trouble with assigned readings.
State Objectives- My 5th
grade students will have complete knowledge of the history of Earth
Day by the end of day 1. The class will watch a video on the significance of Earth Day. The class
will then view two posters and answer both prompts on the class blog. At the end of day 1, each
student will view a Voki and participate in the class discussion. By the end of the day, my class
will know the history and significance of Earth Day with 100 percent accuracy.
Select Methods, Materials, and Media- The education method of day 1 is large group
discussion followed by individual work. The students will use the library computers to complete
their individual blogs. The students will view the Voki together on the class smart board.
Utilize Media and Materials- the video shown to the class will be previewed before the
students start. The posters will be made before class begins and their blogs on the class blog will
be closely monitored. The smart board will be set up with the Voki before the students get back
to the classroom from the library. The desks will be moved to allow the students to sit in the
floor to participate in the large group discussion.
Require Learner Participation- At the beginning of the day, the class will watch a video on the
significance of Earth. Each student will be required to participate in the blog discussion. Each
student will be expected to participate in the class discussion after they view the Voki.
Evaluate and Revise- I will assess my class by reading their blogs. They will be evaluated by
their participation in the class discussions as well.
