State Objectives

The ABCDs of strong objectives are included: A – Action, B – Behavior, C – Condition, D – Degree.

Select Methods, Media, and Materials

All methods, media, and materials needed for the lesson are listed. Give rationales why these selected methods, media, and materials are appropriate for your lesson.

1. What are the methods (more than 2)?

2. What are the media (EX: flip chart, PowerPoint Slide, computer-based tools, etc.)?

3. What are the materials (ex: textbook - the book title, Educational Game, WebQuest, etc.)?

Utilize Media, Materials, and Methods

For each listed above, details of how they will be implemented into the lesson to enhance learning using 5Ps: Preview the materials, Prepare the materials, Prepare the environment, Prepare the learners, Provide the learning experiences.

Require Learner Participation

Includes detailed methods for actively engaging all students for the lesson’s duration. Starting from how long you will need for this whole lesson, it might be one class session, but it might be 5 class sessions. In this period of time, how do you engage your students with the methods that you provide in the previous sections?

Evaluate & Revise

Evaluation methods for each of the following are included: Student Performance, Media Effectiveness, Instructor Performance.

The lesson plan should include detailed information about assessment methods and the evaluation of each component.

Paper For Above Instructions

The ASSURE Model Instructional Plan is an essential framework used by educators to design and implement effective lesson plans. This approach aims to create a structured learning environment that meets the needs of diverse learners by clearly outlining objectives, methods, and materials required for successful instruction. This paper will present a comprehensive ASSURE Model Instructional Plan tailored for a hypothetical lesson, including detailed objectives, instructional strategies, and evaluation techniques.

Lesson Title: Exploring Ecosystems

Teacher’s Name: Jane Smith

Grade: 5

Content Area: Science

Lesson Length: 3 class sessions (totaling 3 hours)

Analyze Learners

The class consists of 20 students, comprising 10 males and 10 females. The age range is between 10 to 11 years, with a mix of cognitive abilities and learning styles. Notably, two students have learning disabilities; one is diagnosed with dyslexia, while another has a visual impairment. Considering their background, the class is culturally diverse, including students from different ethnic backgrounds. Many students previously participated in basic ecology units, fostering a positive attitude toward science.

Learning Styles

Based on assessments and observations, it is estimated that 40% of students display visual learning preferences, 30% are auditory learners, and 30% prefer kinesthetic (hands-on) approaches.

State Objectives

The lesson will focus on the following objectives, articulated using the ABCD model:

  • A (Action): Students will create a model ecosystem.
  • B (Behavior): Conduct research on ecosystem dynamics and interactions.
  • C (Condition): Using provided materials and digital resources.
  • D (Degree): With at least 80% accuracy in demonstrating ecosystem functions.

Select Methods, Media, and Materials

This lesson will employ the following methods and materials:

  • Methods: Group discussions, hands-on activities, and multimedia presentations.
  • Media: PowerPoint slides, videos on ecosystems, and interactive digital tools.
  • Materials: Textbook ("Life in Ecosystems"), modeling clay, and art supplies for building ecosystem models.

The selected methods allow for collaborative learning while engaging different learning styles through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities.

Utilize Media, Materials, and Methods

Implementation details are as follows:

  1. Preview the materials: Review PowerPoint and digital videos prior to the lesson.
  2. Prepare the materials: Gather all necessary supplies, including modeling clay, and pre-load digital content for efficient access during the lesson.
  3. Prepare the environment: Arrange classroom seating in clusters for group work, ensuring adequate lighting and a comfortable temperature.
  4. Prepare the learners: Use an engaging introductory activity about ecosystems to capture students' attention.
  5. Provide the learning experiences: Facilitate a discussion on ecosystem roles, followed by small group research activities and model creation.

Require Learner Participation

The lesson will last three class sessions, with each session consisting of approximately one hour. During this time, students will engage in discussions, hands-on model building, and presentations of their findings. Instructors will circulate amongst groups to provide support and feedback as needed.

Evaluate & Revise

Evaluation methods will include:

  1. Student Performance: A rubric will assess model accuracy, research quality, and group collaboration.
  2. Media Effectiveness: Feedback will be solicited from students regarding the usefulness of media and resources in clarifying concepts.
  3. Instructor Performance: Peer evaluations and self-reflection will be utilized to assess the instructor's effectiveness in delivering the lesson.
