ASSURE Day #3
African-Americans & Women in the United States of America Revolutionary War
Analyze Audience
The class has twenty students. There are seven girls and thirteen boys. The class has
eight African American students. They are all low income students. Three of the students have
a reading disability.
State Objectives
The students will designate who the most important women and minorities during the
United States of America’s revolution were with a 100% accuracy in three days by listening to a
podcast, looking at a picture, watching a YouTube video, and seeing a Glogster poster.
Select Methods, Media & Materials
All of this work will be in a large-group setting. The SMART Board, computer, and
speakers will be used to present the YouTube video. That same computer and its speakers are
needed to play the podcast. The picture will be shown via the SMART Board. The Glogster
poster will have to be printed out. I concisely talk with the children about what they will be
doing for this lesson.
Utilize Media & Materials
I will be sure that the YouTube video link works correctly in the classroom. I will preview
it before it is shown. I will be sure that my computer, speakers, and SMART Board are in good
shape. Then, I will print out the Glogster poster one day before the lesson. The podcast will
also be uploaded to my computer and listened to before I present it to my students.
Require Learner Participation
The children will first learn about women in the revolution. They will listen to a podcast
on Deborah Sampson, an important woman in the United States of America’s war for
independence. After that, they will see a picture of a woman in combat. Then, they will be
informed about why African-Americans fought for independence. First, they will look at the
Glogster poster. This poster discusses slaves’, particularly African-Americans’, role in the
United States of America’s fight to gain independence. We will discuss the content. They will
then watch a YouTube video on a particular African-American who played a tremendous role in

2. the United States of America’s revolution. Each student should participate in one of the
discussions. Their contributions to these conversations are how they will be assessed in this
lesson.
Evaluate Methods & Material
While they are watching the video and listening to the podcast, I will see how much they
are paying attention. By that I mean how much they are talking with each other or playing. If
their interest level seems to be low, I will definitely have to change the format of those things. I
will need to liven it up. I will also ask how well the picture and poster helped them understand
the main idea. If they are not participating very much, I will examine how well I covered the
material. Maybe they are not understanding the content and do not feel comfortable enough
to discuss the material.
