__**Assessment**__
Pre-Assessment- students will be handed out a list of different scenarios they have to act out dealing with harmful behavior that affects student's lives. This activity will give the teacher an idea whether students know if some of the behavior that is modeled in these scenarios is good or bad to them. Graphic Organizer- students will use a Goal-Reason Web to develop certain behaviors they would like to stay away from. Students will then have to come up different ways to self-motivate themselves to stay away from those type of behaviors.
 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**

Presentation- groups of students will create a 5-8 minute self-help radio show for any listener that is struggling with a certain health problem in their lives whether it is drugs, alcohol, poor diet, lack of physical activity,etc. Students will create different fictional scenarios of everyday people that are struggling with a certain problem that affects their lives. Students will also picture themselves as self-help radio show hosts that will give listeners advice on how to work through their problems in order for them to become healthy.
 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**

__**Integration**__

 * Technology:**

Audacity- Students will use this program as a way of creating their self-help radio show. They will learn the basics of recording sound, laying out cues, adding background music, and sound-editing. The self-help radio show will be turned into a presentation for the whole class to hear.

English- Students will create a script that will be deal with different scenarios relating to health issues or problems everyday people struggle with. The script should have proper grammar and no spelling errors.

__Groupings__
Students will be in partners with their Goal-Reason Webs as usual,but this time the person they are partners with will also be their partner for the self-help radio show project.

__**Differentiated Instruction**__

 * Strategies**
 * Verbal/Linguistic:** Students will be able to have an opportunity to talk on the radio
 * Musical/Rhythmic:** Students can add any background music fitting their show
 * Interpersonal:** Students get the chance to work in pairs
 * Intrapersonal:** Students can assign different roles to one another like one person can write the script and one person can edit.
 * Logical/Mathematical:** Students can come up with different health problems and figure out advice on how to fix them.
 * Visual/Spatial:** Students can make up a script and they can learn software and editing


 * Modifications/Accommodations**

//**I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.**//


 * Extensions**
 * Type II**
 * Each team when they are finished creating their self-help radio show will post their show onto the class wiki for all students to hear. This is also very helpful if someone that is not in our classroom happens to stumble upon the radio show and it might be beneficial for that listener if they are experiencing the same problem. The teacher can also reflect on each radio show when it comes to final evaluations.**

__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__
Through this lesson, I will target my instruction to all six multiple intelligences which are interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, logical/mathematical, verbal/linguistic, and visual/spatial. My goal is through implementing different learning strategies that will appeal to learners of all different MI's that students will grasp the main idea and purpose of this lesson. I will also incorporate the learning styles of a puppy, beach ball, clipboard,and microscope. For example, clipboard learners will find that a rubric is easy to follow since they can see what rules they need to follow and what is expected of them for a certain assignment. Another example that I will use to help learners of these four styles is that microscope learners can understand the main concept of this lesson through going deep into the reading and providing research they do in their own time.

Since my lesson is targeted towards students of all MI's which are interpersonal, intrapersonal, verbal, logic, naturalist, kinesthetic, and musical. Some of the activities that will happen will be the Goal-Reason Web where intrapersonal and interpersonal students will benefit since they are creating a goal and a list of ways they need to accomplish it but then they are collaborating with a partner to discuss each others goals and how they can help each other out. Technology will also be vital since students will be responsible for creating and posting on their very own blog account. Students might also use technology as a form of communication through email with the person they chose to interview

 * Conclusion :** This lesson is important to show students that they have the self-motivation and will power to avoid harmful behaviors like smoking, alcohol, eating junk food, etc. By having self-discipline and a strong group of friends around you then you are able to do whatever you desire. Friends can help you motivate yourself to workout and what not. The self-help radio show will show students how powerful it is that if someone shows an interest in you and wants to help you out then you can change your ways. The radio show will of course be evaluated on a rubric designed by the teacher.

Students will be arranged into rows of five,but when there is partners involved desks will be grouped one by one. See Agenda above Students will understand that healthy behaviors can positively impact your health status. If you behave in a negative way then your health will be decreased as time goes on Students will be shown a video of behind the scenes of a Radio Show from 91.5 WUMF at the University of Maine at Farmington to get an idea of what it takes to come up with a topic and talking points.

 * Interpersonal:** Students get the chance to work in pairs
 * Verbal/Linguistic:** Students will be able to have an opportunity to talk on the radio

Students will know stress, alcohol abuse, smoking, fat, sugar,etc. I will deliver my instructions and interact with my students through my footage of the WUMF show, Audacity, and through the creative process of their self-help radio show by conferencing with each team. The Graphic Organize will help students learn the importance of taking an oath against something they firmly believe is very harmful and something they never want to associate themselves with. Students will also come up with different ways that they will stay away from that behavior through different self-motivational activities. I will check for understanding through the conference that I will have with each team. After the conference, students will have the opportunity to make the proper adjustments to their radio show in order to improve the quality of their product for the presentation day. Students will learn different [|self-motivation] techniques that will help them avoid harmful behavior that can damage their health. There are plenty of factors that can affect[| children] and adults today in the world. Everyone knows that drugs, alcohol,and illegal drugs are the most focused upon behaviors that we deal with in our country today. The main problem is that the rise of technology is taking away time away from our kids where they could be playing outside, eating healthier, focusing on homework, and even the lack of [|sleep.] Third Paragraph

 * Intrapersonal:** Students can assign different roles to one another like one person can write the script and one person can edit.
 * Logical/Mathematical:** Students can come up with different health problems and figure out advice on how to fix them.

Students will work in pairs with Audacity to make a radio show. Each team should make a 5-8 minute self-help radio show helping viewers overcome their health problems and giving them advice on how to overcome unhealthy behaviors in order to be healthy. I will group my students by giving students the power of choosing someone to share their Goal-Reason Web that they have never worked with. Based on student's choosing, they will find out that very same partner that they have just chosen will be their partner for the self-help radio project. Students will then have the power to assigning any designed roles that they have created with one another. Students will make up a script for the radio show before recording it. Students will also think of different health related factors that might hurt someone's health and advice to overcome those problems.

 * Explore, Experience, Rethink, Revise, Refine, Tailors:**
 * Musical/Rhythmic:** Students can add any background music fitting their show
 * Visual/Spatial:** Students can make up a script and they can learn software and editing

Students will have their own checklist where they can grade themselves and write a short-essay on what they have learned from creating this self-help radio show. Each duo will present their radio show to the class and be evaluated based on a rubric featuring content, sound quality, delivery,etc. **(Evaluate)** I will provide timely feedback to my students through the rubric that I have created for each radio show team where I will grade them and provide any additional comments to them. This project connects to the homework assignment because it is a real-life scenario where people who have a hard time motivating themselves to go on with a change seeks guidance from a professional source. The self-help radio show project connects to the future assignment because now instead of targeting a small audience that needs help or struggles with a health problem you are now targeting a national audience in the United States
