1. Assure
A. Analyze Learners
My students will learn holiday traditions of various cultures such as Muslim, Jewish, American
and African American. I will be teaching these traditions to my 4th grade class consisting of
eleven boys and nine girls. Of these twenty students two are Muslims, two are African American,
three are Jewish and thirteen are American.
S. State Objective
I will use videos, PowerPoints. Learners will also be doing activities that involve cutting pictures
out and placing them above the holiday it goes with. They will also complete crossword puzzles
and also I will get my hands on food that family’s make during the holidays and share them with
my class. Eighty-two percent of my students will know holiday traditions by the end of two
weeks.
S. Select methods, media and materials
The use of computers (educational videos, PowerPoint), crossword puzzles, Word searches, cut
out worksheets and food from different holiday traditions. The learners will be asked to create a
small presentation on a holiday tradition I assign to them, I will also assign them to a group of
four.
U. Utilize media and materials
The methods and materials I will use to help my students learn holiday traditions are crossword
puzzles, word searches, food from Muslim, Jewish, American and African American culture to
link food to traditions. Also I will be using an activity that allows students to see a picture of a
tradition and be able to identify the name. They will do this by cutting out the picture and lacing
it over the name. Videos and PowerPoints will be my method of media.
R. Require learner participation
Learners will participate in crosswords, group discussion about the videos and PowerPoints. Also
the days I have food for the students we will also do the project of cutting out pictures and
placing them with their proper names. For homework I will ask the students to take the word
searches home and complete them for homework. Also the kids will be assigned to a group of
four, and be asked to create a small presentation where they must stand in front of the class and
present their holiday tradition I assign to them.
E. Evaluate and revise
Learners will be asked to present their presentation with their assigned group. The students will
be able to use PowerPoint to present. This is the “testing” part of the lesson
