Link

Motivation

· Q: “Who can tell me what these are? What are they used for? What might have caused the injury? Did they mean to get hurt? What could they have done to prevent the injury? Get examples that lead to accident

Question and answer

Presentation (The Meat!) Anticipated # of Minutes

Key Points

Methods (30 min)

The students will recieve a note card with a green “safe” written on one side and a red “unsafe” on the other side.
The power-point slide show will begin and there will be approximately 4 pictures with both safe and unsafe acts. The students will hold up the cards with the side that they believe best represents the picture “safe” or “unsafe.”
When the students hold up the “unsafe,” card you will ask them what was unsafe about the picture. Each picture could have as many unsafe ideas as the students’ imagination will allow them to have.
The idea for this activity is to get the students aware of unsafe procedures, and be able to see accidents before they happen.
After each accident is shown, the students will come up with preventative methods to resolve the accidents.

Use ppt to demonstrate unsafe situations

Use note cards to keep the students actively engaged

Try and get the students to use there imagination to think of some worst case scenarios, so that the students will be able to see accidents before they happen. Allow the students to discuss ways to be more safe in each situation.

Make sure to include every student so that everyone is paying attention

Application (What will they do with what you taught?) Anticipated # of Minutes

Key Points

Methods (5-10 min)

The students will be asked to each pull out a sheet of paper and think of ways to make your life safer. List (a minimum of 3) things that could be potential accidents and a way to prevent each one.

Have students pull out paper and list accidents and solutions for each.

Have students keep the paper to help with the quiz and turn both in together with the paper as a bonus +10 pts. If the answers are legit.

Evaluation/Summary (How do you know they learned it?)Anticipated # of Minutes

Key Points

Methods (7 min)

The students will turn there papers over, label the top of the back “Safety Quiz” and number the paper 1-5. Show a new picture and have them write what they see as far as “unsafe” activities, and a solution for each.

References

Quiz the students over the last picture on the slide show.

Lesson Plan Discussion Paper

The lesson that I will be teaching will be on demonstrating knowledge of personal and mechanical safety practices in the workplace. I will be teaching the lesson at Bellville High School. Safety is very important no matter what you are doing or what you already know. High school agriculture education is a very good time to teach a lesson like this because the students will carry these skills throughout there lives no matter what they do or where they go in life.

My lesson will start out with me passing out band-aids to all the students. This should get there curiosity up and my following questions will get them motivated. After the band-aids are passed out I will ask the students if they can tell me what they have. I expect that most if not all of the students will know what a band-aid is, and then I’ll ask what is it used for. I will use questions to lead into the fact that accidents do happen and we need to recognize the dangers so that we can avoid injury. Once the students realize what we will be learning about I will present the objectives in an overview, so that the students have an idea about what they are expected to learn for the day.

In the presentation I will pass out a note card to each student and they will use the note card to tell whether or not the picture is safe or unsafe. Depending on how the students are doing I might ask for volunteers to come up to the board and point out different safety hazards. I would then have the class tell what they would do to prevent the accident. If the students are not focused on the lesson I will ask them to get out a sheet of paper and write down the hazard and the solution to each of the safety hazards that we point out. The “take-home” message is to show the students that they need to always be looking out for potential safety hazards. The note cards will have a green “safe” written on one side and an “unsafe” written in red on the other side. This should take around thirty minutes.

After we finish with the pictures I will have the students make a list of things that they could do make there lives safer (a minimum of 3). If the students are collaborating they may break into partners, if there are an even number of students in the classroom. This activity should take only a few minutes maybe five or ten minutes. As they are doing this I will walk around and make sure that they are on task and giving a descent effort. If there is time we will share our ideas with the class, to maybe give the students different peer perspectives.

I will be keeping my eye on the clock and when there is about seven minutes left in class I will give them a quiz. The quiz will be another picture that they will need to point out a couple of safety hazards and ways to prevent them. If time permits they should be able to write two safety hazards, but if we have enough time I will have them put down five safety hazards and ways to prevent each.

How you intend to get students interested in the lesson?
- I will use band-aids to pass out to the class, and link the questions to get the students to figure out what the lesson is about.
Why you chose the teaching methods for this particular lesson?
- I chose to work my lesson so that the students will be teaching themselves, that way when they are in a situation where there could be a potential accident they will be aware and hopefully be able to prevent the accident. The method is kind of a teacher lead discussion, where the students will be discussing safety.
Why you chose the Emoments you incorporated?
- I incorporated two Emoments into my lesson, the first being the band-aid with questions in kind of a Socratic Method to get them to discover the topic for the day. The second Emoment that I used was the pictures that the students saw (Pattern Recognition and Rote Reversal) where they saw situations that they would recognize and we will be pointing out safety hazard after safety hazard until we have a good grasp of the concepts. Since the lesson was an awareness lesson there was not much need for memorization.
Why you chose the learning activities for the application?
- I chose the activities in order to let all types of learners to grasp the topic in as many ways as I could time permitting. In order to avoid discipline problems I am going to keep the students active. I will have them write down the things in the pictures, write down three things to make their lives safer and a quiz.
How you will know students have learned the objectives?
- The lesson has been set up so that the visual learners will see the pictures, the auditory learners will hear the discussion, and the kinesthetic learners will be touching the band-aids and note cards and writing on their papers. I will know how effective my lesson was when I give the quiz and when one of the students prevents an accident they will know that they learned something.
What are your concerns in teaching this lesson to your group of high school students?
- My concern is that the lesson is on their learning level where I am not boring them and where I am not talking above there heads; because, if that happens it will be harder to keep order in the classroom.

How will this assignment benefit you later as a professional AGSC teacher?

I guess that it is good to go out in a real life situation which is a way for us to learn. Going to a school and teaching a lesson will help to pop the comfort bubble. The best part is that the students will not remember if we make mistakes, because it is only once.
