- 1. Ally Franklin Harold Blanco CI 350 April 29, 2014 ASSURE Method A: Analyze Learners These students are Russian children that have just moved to the United States. They speak English, but are unfamiliar with the culture. Their ages range from ten to nineteen. There are fifteen in total: eight males and seven females. They are also all mildly to severely visually impaired. S: State Objectives The Russian students will be the learners and the objects. They will develop a greater understanding of the holiday traditions of the Fourth of July, which is a strictly American holiday, and be able to describe the activities of what a normal Fourth of July consists of. The students will carry out and be included inactivities that allow them experience how we have the Fourth of July, and allow them to experience them with senses other than sight. They could listen typical American songs that represent patriotism, like “The Star Spangled Banner,” or “God Bless America.”Then they could discuss the meanings behind them and what they mean to Americans. They will be presented with thetypes of foods that would be eaten at a cookout- hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, ice cream. They could also be present for some (small) fireworks, since fireworks are not only visually stunning, but they are also incredibly loud, so that would be an activity that is usually considered visual turned into something they could experience as
- 2. well.Another way for the students to experience the ideas of the Fourth of July could be a podcast. First, they could listen to a few podcasts- one of the history of Independence Day, one on the activities we do. Then, after they have completed all their “experiences” we can make a class podcast, with each student telling what their favorite part of the Fourth of July was. After the entire experience is over, the students should have an understanding of the holiday (95%) and if there is any confusion, they can ask questions to get everyone on the same page. S: Select the 3 M’s (Method, Media, Materials) The methods used will be hands on activities.An example of this would be the food tasting. The materials needed for this lesson would be, food, plates, utensils, etc. The songs could be played from the internet or an iPod.Maybe for the “fireworks,” small, safe firecrackers or sparklers could be used. And finally, for the podcast, we would use the internet and our computers. U: Utilize Media and Materials The students will be receiving the benefit of the media and materials. It isn’t anything too involved so it should be easy to teach while keeping discussion open. I would prepare the materials and ideas, then teach it. The students listen, participate, and learn. The media and materials (internet and food) will give a better experience than just talking at the students. R: Require Learner Participation The students can get into small groups 3 and discuss the things they like about the Fourth of July and things they find interesting, and how it is different from holidays in Russia, as well as preparing what they want to say in the podcast. E: Evaluate and Revise
