 ASSURE Model Lesson Plan

Introduction

Educators are continuously seeking new and innovative methods to refine and improve

Grade Level: Grade 9th

Lesson Length: 70 minutes

I. Analyze Learners

Learners general characteristics: The lesson is designed for 9th grade high school

students. This is a class comprised of 7 male and 11 female

students, of which 6 students have IEP accommodations. Academic ability and

learning styles vary. In general, students become easily distracted and lose focus

quickly.

This lesson will be modified for students with 504 Plans or IEPs by providing them with

assistance included by not limited to the following: By dividing each requirement into a mini-

lesson for students to complete one portion of the project at a time, allow flexible grouping

(seating) for students with modifications to sit near a person they are comfortable asking for help

and/or they can, practice and demonstrate each requirement together so students with

modifications can visually see the required steps to complete each mini lesson, and by engaging

students with different learning styles by allowing them to opportunities to use various written
 and/or presentation materials such as the dictionary to define vocabulary words, teacher

proximity.

Entry characteristics: The students in this class are skilled in the use of computers and

tablets.

Learning styles: Although the class is comprised of students of all learning styles, the

majority of students in this class are visual learners.
