  Kevin Hall Analyze Learners:Vision impaired Russian students between the ages of 10-19 with eight being boys and seven being girls. Learning styles can vary from anything except from learning styles that require the eyes. State Objectives: My Russian students will learn some of the United States’ 4th of July traditions. They will learn from focusing on the other four senses neglecting their impaired eye sight. We will start with having a picnic in the classroom of some foods that families have on the 4th, I will then talk about fireworks (not going to them) and begin by talking about how it feels whenever the ash from the fireworks falling on you by while talking about it taking some rice and sprinkling it onto the tops of their heads. From there I would grab some cheerleading pompoms and place it on their hands and touch their faces allowing them to imagine what the fireworks look like. Then I would grab two balloons filled with water, one with warm water and another with cold water. I would allow them to grab the balloons and feeling the difference between hot and cold tell them the hot is the red flying throughout the air and the cold is the blue flowing throughout the air. Than I would bring in some gun powder so my students can smell what fireworks smell like, and I will also pass around some smaller fireworks for them to get to hold and feel what they are like. At the end the class we will all come together and come up with something that we will turn into a tradition the next day. Afterwards my class will be able to talk about 4th of July traditions with a 95% accuracy by the end of the week. Select Methods: We will start class off with talking a little bit about the history so they can get an understanding of where the 4th of July came from and why we celebrate it. From there we will go into traditions starting with our picnic and my students can smell the different foods and get to taste some different foods families eat together on the 4th. Then I will start with talking about the fireworks with the rice, the pompoms, the warm and cold balloons, and pass around some fireworks and talk about what they look like as my students get to hold and visualize what they look like. When I get to what they smell like I will take a jar of gun powder around so they can smell it and I will hold the jar so no one harms themselves by accidently breathing some in. Then we will come up with a tradition of our very own that tomorrow we will have and act like it is the 4th of July. Utilize Media: I will gather all of the materials needed the day before except for the food. I will get to school early and cook the food myself before school starts and class begins. I will store the fireworks and gun powder away into my desk and lock the desk. Then I will fresh up on some history to make sure I know what I am talking about. Require Learner Participation: At the end we will all come together and come up with something that we could make a tradition for our class. By the end of the week my students will tell me of a few 4th traditions and talk about if they have a favorite or if they didn’t like the subject. Evaluate and Revise: During class I will ask the class what they believe fireworks sound like and get a class discussion going with that and if they believe different ones sound differently than others. Afterwards when the class is asked to talk about some traditions and if they like the 4th or if they disliked it.
