Overall Instructor Rating: Satisfactory
Ratings explanation:
- Exemplary - A model answer in almost every way (this is given out very rarely).
- Satisfactory - Very well done; you've met the expectations of the assignment. There are some minor problems, so read my feedback well.
- Marginal Pass - You pass, but there are lots of issues to consider. Read my feedback very carefully and be sure you understand the points/issues I raise.
- Not satisfactory, redo and resubmit - The assignment was not completed appropriately. I am concerned that you do not understand the process well enough yet. To get credit for the assignment, you need to redo it, most probably on another topic. Read and consider my feedback very carefully before redoing.
Instructor's Overall Feedback:
Hi, Anna
You did a great job on this IDA. Your lesson design is well-organized with good activities and good media choice. Your rationale for media choice supports your decision well, too.
Keep up the good work.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks.

The purpose of this activity is to design a specific lesson based on the lesson objectives identified in one of your unit instructional curriculum maps (ICMs). This IDA is designed to give you practice in planning lesson based on Gagne's events of instruction (see Dick, Carey, and Carey, chapter 8).
Complete the instructional strategy planning sheet below for one lesson of your choice. Preferably, this is a lesson that you identified during the unit design analysis. However, you can choose any lesson you wish. As outlined by Dick, Carey, and Carey, it may be helpful to organize the events of instruction in the following major groups or components: Pre-instructional activities, Content presentation, Learner participation, Assessment, Follow-through activities.
Your instructional plan should emphasize materials-centered instruction. That is, you should consider resources other than a live instructor for the delivery of the lesson. As you consider possible media, also consider the affordances, or special characteristics, that various media possess.

Write the instructional objectives of your lesson here (it can be more than one):
Your final response:
Learners will be able to demonstrate the procedures for adding the appropriate chemicals needed for a freshwater fish aquarium.

Media Choice |
1. Pre-instructional activities
- a. Motivating the learners/gaining their attention
- b. Informing the learners of the lesson objectives or purposes
- c. Informing the learner of what they already need to know to be successful in this lesson (i.e. prerequisite skills)
2. Content presentation
- a. Presenting the content to be learned (i.e. stimulus material)
- b. Guiding the learners as they are presented with the content
3. Learner participation
- a. Giving the learner opportunites for practice (i.e. eliciting the performance)
- b. Giving the learner feedback during practice
4. Assessment
- Tests and other assessments to see if anything has been learned as a result of this lesson
5. Follow-through activities
- a. Memory aids for retention
- b. Activities to help learners transfer their learning to other contexts

Your final response:
1. Pre-instructional activities:
1a. Discuss the importance of the chemicals in a fish aquarium and how they help the fish to survive.
1b. Describe that the goal of this lesson is that each learner will know how to treat the water with chemicals.
1c. Explain that knowing how to measure the exact amount of each chemical is essential.
2. Content presentation:
2a. Distribute a pamphlet that guides learners in preparing the chemicals for a fish aquarium.
2b. Provide an interactive website that demonstrates chemical placement in a fish aquarium.
3. Learner participation:
3a. Take learners into a lab and have them complete the procedures for placing chemicals into the water using the guide.
3b. Have students work with buddies to see if they are completing the appropriate steps.
4. Assessment:
4a. Learners will demostrate the activity for the teacher without the use of the guide or a buddy.
5. Follow-through activities:
5a. Allow students to keep the pamphlet for review.
5b. Have students find an interactive website about chemicals in a fish aquarium.

Provide a rationale for your media choices. How do the media you have selected support the instructional plan you have designed? Do the affordances of the media you've selected match the instructional strategy and support student learning?
Examples of media affordances:
- Video: dynamic representation of people, social situations, psychomotor tasks, etc.
- Computer simulation: dynamic representation of concepts and principles
- Computer spreadsheets: dynamic representation of numeric relationships
- Computer databases: dynamic representation of categorical relationships
Your final response:
Adding chemicals into a fish aquarium requires step by step instruction. Even though these procedures must be done precisely, other media besides a teacher can teach these procedures. I chose a pamphlet and a computer as my two main media sources. The pamphlet provides hands on instruction of the task, and the computer provides visual instruction of the psychomotor task being performed.

Both of these sources allow the learner to work on his or her own while completing these procedures.
