Village Census on Guam throughout the years


ASSURE Lesson Plan Reflection Paper:
“Village Census on Guam throughout the years”
My response to the first question, “which one of the NETS*T standards do you feel might apply to this assignment?” would be that I would have to chose all six. The six standard areas are all applicable to my lesson on the “Villages Census on Guam throughout the years.” To be completely honest, being away from school a whole semester can really mess you up with how or where to begin and what to put into writing. It took me a while to complete the ASSURE lesson plan. Not only was I unaware or familiar with the type of lesson plan we needed to create but, I was also confused on how to write a reflection paper. Nonetheless, at the end of the assignment I realized that the ASSURE lesson plan can be very beneficial in your teaching.
I appreciated the fact that the components of the ASSURE lesson plan was applicable to all categories e.g. the different types of learners, stating the objectives, instructional methods, media, and materials & how to integrate technology into your lesson, evaluating and revising, etc. I enjoyed learning how to use a digital spreadsheet and ways to apply them to your lesson. For my lesson I decided to use the villages on Guam breaking down the students into group to compare and contrast the census on the villages throughout the years. Using the digital spreadsheet would be helpful for students to input their data to complete the assignment.
For my major which is Chamoru language & culture, there are not enough resources and updated information to help motivate and encourage students to preserve the language in order to keep Chamoru alive, which is why I do not believe that I have a response to what I liked least about the assignment. I was able to refresh my memory at least to the extent of getting the assignment done. Furthermore, I appreciated the assignment as well as being able to learn more on the technology perspective. I hope to learn more in order to integrate technology throughout my lessons on Chamoru language and culture.
