For the designated example lesson, the application of ASSURE MODEL can be viewed as follows
Analyze Learners
The class is composed of 36 pupils. It
shows a close to balanced number of 19
girls and 17 boys. All pupils are of the age 10. Among the characteristics of
pupils to be noted is that most pupil are of middle class background with and
average grasp of the English language. One pupil is noted ill while another
exhibits symptoms of hyperactivity. In the context of pupil’s potential, all
possess reading and writing skills at an average level. Pupils too already have
previous knowledge on tenses and three basic skills of living.
Objectives
Pupils are able to pronounce words shown
in video correctly after teacher. They are also able to relate the basic needs
of living learnt to the process of “Photosynthesis”. By doing so, they are
indirectly working on their cognitive skills in terms of relation.
Select Media, Materials and Methods
Among the materials used in the process of
teaching are as follows:-
Vedio of photosynthesis prepared by teacher
LCD device and laptop to play the vedio to be
viewed by pupils.
A text on the process of photosynthesis is
prepared by the teacher to be read and arranged
by pupils in the presentation
stage
Answer sheets are prepared for the practice
stage.
Drawing paper is handed out to each pupil to
carry out their activity.
As for the methods used, Vedio is presented to expose pupils to
the lesson of the day as well as to keep them intrigued. Here, the question and
answer method is employed where teacher questions the pupils to be answered.
Next, Story telling strategy is used, this enables pupils to
listen with keen interest and attain correct pronunciation of words
simultaneously.
· Also
employed are indentification as well as “understanding the text”. In here,
pupils are required to relate information from the previous text to a picture
by drawing their own plants. This method works on pupils creativity besides
helping them grasp a better control of their fine motor skills.
Require Learner Participation
Aktiviti: Question and Answer

stimulate answer on pronounciation from pupils.
The
teaching and learning process is ensured to move in a smooth flow.
Moreover
