ASSURE Friday Lesson Plan

Analyzing the students: One 8th Grade Classroom in West Virginia, Nine boys and eleven girls,

Eleven Caucasian students, Six African-American students, and Three Asian-American students.

Stating the Objective: By the end of the fifth lesson and fifth day, students will have learned how

to use photo shop to create a well-made visual aid for a speech. They will learn this by using a

photo shop tutorial to create an original image based on FDR’s life or presidency with a

humorous caption, in which they will post on FDR’s Twitter page made for this lesson. They will

then use photo shop to create their own speeches’ visual aid, and choose a topic for their final

speeches. They will then present the visual aid to the class, and the class will grade them based

on a rubric. They will do this with 100% accuracy.

Selection of Method: Students will pick pictures that they can manipulate using a photo shop

application of their choice and use a tutorial chose online to create a wacky picture of FDR and

post it on FDR’s Twitter page, created by the instructor. Then the students will use what they

learned on photo shop to create their own visual aid based on the topic that they will choose for

their final speech and present it to the class by saving it on the school server and having the

instructor pull it up on a Smartboard from the file. Students will then grade their classmates

using a rubric on the effectiveness of the visual aid.
