Another great week in our EDET c lasses. Our task at hand was to write a lesson plan, using the Assure model. The assure model is very different from other lesson plans. Each student in class had to create a lesson plan, by choosing any grade, subject and topic.
I choose Language Arts to write a lesson plan for a grade one class, using the topic action verbs.
As teachers, when writing lesson plans we should always analyse our learners. State the amount of students in the class, the amount of boys and girls and their cultural ethnic group. We should seek out the ways in which we could bring across each concept to each and every student in the class, in which teachers will state if students are visual, kinthestic or auditory learner. Here is a copy of how I analyse my learners.

When writing lesson plans, a teacher must place the specific objectives or the specific outcomes in which the teacher wishes for the students to do at the end of the lesson. These objectives should be student written, ensuring that a child could do this at the end of the lesson. As a teacher I went to the blooms taxonomy to find verbs used to write my specific objectives.
At the end of this lesson students will be able to:
1) Independently define the term verbs, with the help of the flash cards provided by the teacher.
2) Write 5 simple sentences using action words, without the help of the teacher.
3) Independently read their simple sentences in which they have written in class, without the help of the teacher.
Teachers should include all their materials needed to complete their lesson. If a teacher wishes to use a song or video, should preview the video or song before the class. A teacher should prepare the environment (seating area) etc.
When starting a lesson each teacher should start with an active introduction to warm up the students and gain their interest to begin the new topic. This introduction could either be a song, poem, drama or presenting questioning about the previous lesson. I started my introduction with a song from the you-tube talking about action verbs.
The procedural development is the step by step procedure of the lesson. The way how the teacher is going teach the lesson. I learnt that a teacher should present everything that they are going to do in the lesson. These steps should be student involvement not just the teacher giving information.
A teacher should end the lesson by recapping or questioning to see if the objectives were met. At the end of the lesson the teacher should reflect on the learners and reflect on the teacher as well. There were many challenges in writing my lesson plan, but Mrs. Roberts assisted in any way she could. I would use this productive lesson in writing lesson plans to complete my lesson plans in the future when I get back to my classroom.

Methods: Questioning, group discussion and games.
Materials: Exercise books, flash cards, pencils, laptop with built in speakers.
Media: Song on action verbs from you-tube

Utilize Media, Materials, and Methods
|
1. Preview the materials: Teacher ensures that the video to be viewed shows properly.
2. Prepare the materials: Teacher sets up the laptop by plugging it into the correct current and putting it on.
3. Prepare the environment: Teacher sets up chairs in group of 2’s, ensuring that each group has a stronger student in each group. Additionally, teacher places flash cards on each table, four flashcards per group.
4. Prepare the learners: Introduction - Teacher starts the lesson by doing some simple actions and ask students what it is.eg.(eating, drinking, dancing, jumping, shouting)

Require Learner Participation
|
Step One: Teacher shows the students the video on the laptop depicting some actions (action verbs), in which students will model each action as well.
Step Two: Teacher then let students look at the four flash cards that were placed on their desk and model each action to the other groups, so that the other groups could guess what action it is. Afterwards, the teacher will discuss with students that the actions which they were doing are grouped into a special name called verbs. The teacher would then ask the students to repeat the words of the song that gave the definition of verbs.
Step Three: The teacher will jump in class and after jumping ask the students to construct a sentence, to say what action he/she did. The teacher will then write the sentence on the blackboard and have students read the sentence out loud.
Step Four: Afterwards, the students will use each flash card on their desk to construct a sentence, orally, of their own, emphasizing the use of verbs.
Step Five: Students after orally constructing sentences will write four sentences, using the flash cards from off of their desk. The teacher will monitor students as they work.
Step Six: Students after completing their sentences will exchange their books with another group, and one student from that group will read out loud, what was written by the student. The entire class will then check to see if the student wrote the sentences using verbs, correctly.
Conclusion: Teacher will then recap the lesson (by questioning students about the topic on actions verbs

Evaluation methods for each of the following are included:
The song on action verbs was well played, in which students got a chance to repeat the song as well.
