Overall Instructor Rating: Exemplary
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:
I think you are ready to do this for real now. Nice job!
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.
Instructional Strategy Planning Sheet
Write the instructional objectives of your lesson here (it can be more than one):
Your final response:
Taking into consideration his/her personality type, interests, and leadership style, the student will be able to identify at least five compatible careers by completing an online career search.
The instructor's feedback to this step:
This is a well written objective. Nice job.
Enter your instructional plan for each of the instructional components. Also indicate your media choice for each instructional component.

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 with the students the abundant amount of career opportunities that exist in today’s society.1b. Explain to the students that the ultimate goal of the lesson is to identify at least five careers using an online career search that reflect the traits of their personality, interests, and leadership. Explain to students that the Career Search Guide will direct them through the lesson to the desired goal.1c. Explain that experience using the internet is expected. Explain that information from the previous lessons will be needed to match appropriate careers.
2. Content presentation
2a. Hand out the Career Search Guides to the students. Remind the students that the guide will direct their journey during the online career search.2b. Read over the main points discussed on the Career Search Guide answering any preliminary questions. Provide a brief demonstration of the major sections of the guide.
3. Learner participation
3a & 3b. Take the class to a computer lab. The students are to follow the directions in the Career Search Guide. Helps students with any questions that may arise, including those concerning computer issues as well as task questions. Ask hypothetical questions to spark student thought about a particular portion of the Career Search Guide.
4. Assessment
4. Ask the students to identify at least five careers that fit well with their personality type, interests, and leadership skills. The student will complete an open-ended questionnaire delivering the five careers and explaining why they fit. The students will also reflect on the process when explaining.
5. Follow-through activities
5a. Allow the students to keep their Career Search Guide to remind them of the process and important points.5b. Ask the students to take their career search results and investigate important facts (requirements, salary, etc.) concerning each individual career.
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Good, instruction seems to align to assessment which then goes back and aligns to the objectives.

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:
When completing the lesson, the majority of the time will be spent with the Career Search Guide and the specified Internet Websites. The Career Search Guide is designed to direct the student through the necessary benchmarks needed to fully understand the process and the reasoning behind the process. The specified Internet Websites compliment the guide by identifying careers that correlate to a particular student’s individuality. Since this course is focused on a student’s career development, it makes sense that this lesson revolves around media choices that are individual and self-guided. Because the lesson is based on the student, it would be difficult for a student to follow exactly what the teacher does to complete his/her guide because of the individuality involved. Being the guide is distributed in hard-copy form, the student is able to return to it for future use and reference to the process. The websites accentuate the guide, but can be considered as valid, self-sufficient sources of occupational information because they answer the majority of the topics discussed in the guide. Career Search Guide: dynamic representation of a procedural process Internet Websites: dynamic representation of relevance in real world application
