ASSURE Lesson Plan Reflection

               For our multimedia lesson plan assignment, we were tasked with creating a lesson plan utilizing the ASSURE lesson plan model. The lesson plan that was created was meant for children in the 5^th grade. Trying to create a lesson plan using the ASSURE template was difficult for me. Along the way it started to become a little simpler.

               According to Janelle Cox (2014), “A lesson plan is a detailed guide for teaching a lesson. It’s a step-by-step guide that outlines the teacher’s objectives for what the students will accomplish that day.” The lesson plan is very important as a teacher. It helps you organize your lesson, meet objectives, and move on to the next thing on the list with ease.

               On myteacherpages (2016), it states that, “The ASSURE model is helpful for designing courses using different kinds of media. This model assumes that instruction will not be delivered using lecture/textbook only.” I find that this lesson plan model will be very useful as I have learned about many different resources online and different ways of presenting. The acronym used in the lesson plan is also very helpful as it stands for all the things you should follow. Analyze learners, state objectives, select the methods, require learner participation, and revise and evaluate. It gets straight to the point.
