Wednesday ASSURE Method

!A.

Analyze Learners

My students are a 3rd grade class of 8-9 year olds. There are 20 children, 11 of which are boys

and 9 of which are girls. 80% of my students are White, and 20% of my students are African

American. My students all live in an Appalachian area.

S.

State Objective:

My students will explain how Fable’s came to be, and express their own belief of Aesop’s

existence. They will do this by completing “Teaching Aesop About Fables” WebQuest on Zunal,

and completing “Aesop:Fact or Myth” PowerPoint WebQuest downloaded from my Wiki. My

students will accomplish this by the end of Wednesday with 100% accuracy.

S.

Select Methods, Media, and Materials:

The methods that I have chosen, all link back to my students age, and ability level. My 3rd grade

students have grown up using technology, and I know that this is the way to grab their interest.

Therefor, I have chosen many different types of technology to interest my students.

!The media that I will be using for this lesson, will be two WebQuests, one exploring what a fable

is and how Aesop created his, and the other questioning the actual existence of the famous

Aesop.

The materials that I will need to teach this lesson, will be my Smart board, and my computer, as

well as iPads and or a computer for each student.

!U.

Utilize Media and Materials:

Due to the fact that my media is mostly revolving around my computer, there are a number

possibilities that would effect to my plan. In case of the technology in my classroom, not

working out for the WebQuests, I will reserve a computer lab, that is sure to work for our

researching.

Before my lesson, I will preview the materials, by making sure that my computer and

SmartBoard are up and running. I will prepare the materials, by preparing all of my links, and

making sure that they are still there and relevant. I will prepare the environment, by making sure

that there are no distractions on the screen, or throughout my classroom. I will prepare the

learners by explaining what a WebQuest is and how to do them, and I will provide a learning

experience by making sure that my students are constantly interested and keeping my lesson fun.

R.

Require Learner Participation:

In order to require learner participation, I will constantly be monitoring my students while using

the computers, making sure that all of my students are on task and progressing though the

assignment.

Evaluate and Revise: To evaluate if my students can explain how Aesop’s Fables came to be, and

express their own opinion of his existence, my students will present their final products from the

WebQuest, after finishing the assignment.
