The document outlines an Assure Model lesson plan to teach 6th grade students about Christopher Columbus' life. It describes analyzing the class of 16 students, 3 with ADHD from diverse racial backgrounds. The objectives are for students to accurately describe Columbus' life chronologically using various technologies. A variety of learning methods will be used, including technology, to engage different learning styles. Students will be required to participate in fun activities and have choices to feel involved. Their work will be continuously evaluated and students can revise to improve. On Thursday, students will be assessed on their knowledge and Twitter assignment, complete a WebQuest, and continue working on their robot.

1. Assure Method –
Analyze learners – 6th grade class, 16 students, 3 with ADHD, 70% White, 15% African
American, 10% Hispanic;75% on grade level or above
State Objectives - My students will describe in chronological order a detailed explanation of
Christopher Columbus’ life through the use of QR codes, Voki’s, blogs, WebQuests, posters,
YouTube videos, storytelling videos, podcasts, robots, and other helpful materials with at least
85% accuracy by the end of the day.
Select methods, media, and materials – All forms of learning will be utilized because different
people learn different ways. There will be much technology involved.
Utilize media and materials - Completing different types of assignments make the classroom
more exciting and students will be engaged in it more.
Require learner participation – Because it gets the students active in the learning with the fun,
different ways of learning, it automatically has all learner participation. Giving the students
choices when doing an activity only involves them more.
Evaluate and Revise – Students will be evaluated not only on the assessments specifically
marked “assessment”, but they will also be watched in the classroom. It is the teacher’s
responsibility to ensure every student is succeeding and if one is falling behind, you help that
student. It is also important to give praise for work because without it, it can be discourage them
to learn when the whole point is motivation. Students will always have the chance to revise,
because without having the opportunity to do so, they may never learn from their mistakes.
Thursday – Though assessing is seen every day in the class because teachers always need to be
taking mental notes of how certain students are doing or what has been improving/going
downhill, this day will be assessment day. Students should have no trouble writing down ten
facts they have learned throughout the week. They also will be evaluated on the Twitter
assignment presented today. Once the presentations are over, students will individ ually complete
a WebQuest. They will understand what a WebQuest is, what its function is, and how it is
important in the classroom. Since there are so many activities the students are actually being
engaged in, they are learning more. Visual aids help, which is why I played videos or created an
example of each assignment so they will have a better understanding of it in order to complete it.
Finally for Thursday, they will continue with their robot.
