Analysis

 **__Needs Analysis__** My students lack the knowledge of the Revolutionary War in America, especially the impact it had on the state of South Carolina. My students need direct instruction to provide them with the knowledge of the American Revolution and the effects it had on our state.
 * Is the problem based on lack of motivation, knowledge, skills or attitude? **

My presentation will address the needs of my students by providing them with the history and timeline of the civil war. It will also include supportive resources, such as images, songs, and graphics to help students understand this concept.
 * How will my topic help address these needs? **

Learners will be evaluated through the use of summative and formative assessments, including discussions, observations, creating a timeline/flipbook, and a unit test.
 * How will I evaluate my learners? **



**__Learner Analysis__** My learners will be third grade students, but they have a wide-range of abilities. I have a student who attends resource, three children going through the RTI process, two gifted students, and an array of abilities in between. I have a few students who have a difficult time with multiple cognitive tasks, such as listening to a speaker and writing notes at the same time. I also have two students who have delayed visual motor skills and struggle to copy from the board in a timely manner. I have one student who is being assessed for emotional disorders. I have two students who are gifted; they may not always have additional information (such as a background for South Carolina history) but complete their assignments much quicker than the rest of the class. Many of my students lack a wealth of vocabulary terms. I also have varying independent reading levels, as noted in the chart below. My observations and interactions with the learners have provided me with this knowledge.


 * **Reading Level** || **Beginning of 1st** || **Middle of 1st** || **End of 1st** || **Beginning of 2nd** || **End of 2nd** || **Beginning of 3rd** ||
 * Number of Students || 1 || 2 || 2 || 1 || 3 || 4 ||

**__Task Analysis__**

After consulting the South Carolina state social studies standards and support documents, I began to develop my task analysis for what content would be covered, how information would be presented, and the plan instruction. 1. Consult South Carolina standards and support documents 2. Research the Revolutionary War in South Carolina 3. Find photos, images, and other visual aids to help assist students 4. Organize information to meet the needs of the learners 5. Create Bookbuilder book on the Revolutionary War, consulting tutorials as needed
