Think of a specific skill that you want to teach. Identify the grade level, curriculum area, and the specific skill. Describe how this skill would be taught (1) procedurally (step by step), (2) with Anchored Instruction, and (3) with Enhanced Anchored Instruction. Be specific! Please read through the examples that others have given, and do not repeat the same skill.
I would teach hand washing. This is mostly for younger students. However, for an FMD students this could be at any age. The curriculum area is functional skill. I would teach this skill with anchored instruction. I would use modeling and step by step. However I would use videos for my students to watch the steps of hand washing. This would provide modeling for my students. This would help them understand how the process goes.
ReplyDeleteThe skill being taught is how to double a recipe. The grade level is 3rd grade math and functional skills.
ReplyDelete1.) To teach the lesson procedurally I would ask the student to identify the measurement amount, multiply that amount by 2, and write in the new measurement amount.
2.) To teach the skill using Anchored instruction I would have the students watch a video of someone cooking a recipe and doubling the amount. After the video showed the individual adding the ingredient twice I would ask the student to identify what the total amount of each specific amount was added.
3.) For enhanced anchor the students will figure up the measurement amount for each ingredient and cook the recipe.
Good example.
DeleteI like this example. We cook a lot in my class and this is something you could do using news to you recipes.
DeleteI would be teaching the skill of using a calculator to add/ subtract mutliple decimals. This is a 6th grade math skill.
ReplyDelete1) Procedurally, I would create a task analysis for the steps of inputing numbers and functions into a calculator. The steps would be: 1. Enter the first number. 2. Enter the + sign. 3. Enter the second number. 4. Enter + sign. 5. Enter the third number. 6. Enter the = sign.
2) For anchor instruction I would use a video of someone going to a restaurant and having to determine what their total will be. Once the video is shown, the student will practice the skill.
3) For enhanced anchored instruction we can set up a mock restaurant with menus. The students will make decisions regarding their purchase, add their total.
Awesome idea Lora!!
DeleteA task analysis is a great way to teach procedurally.
DeleteI love the idea of setting up a mock restaurant!!!
ReplyDeleteA skill I teach in my classroom is rounding. This is for 3rd grade math. I normally teach this skill procedural using step by step instruction walking the students through example problems. If I used anchoraged instruction I would show a video of students rounding and then ask students questions about the skill. However, I would most likely use enhanced anchorage instruction by showing the student a video that introduces rounding, how we round numbers, and that they can be rounded up or down. Then I would have them use what they learned by doing a hands on activity such as rounding toy cars. I could make garages that contain the numbers 10, 20, 30, etc. Then use toy cars that contain numbers that need to be rounded. Students would have to drive the cars into the correct garage.
ReplyDeleteI agree Whitney. The enhanced anchorage really helps engage students.
DeleteI like the idea of driving the cars into the garage. Kids would have fun with that!
DeleteI would teach the skill of brushing teeth. This is a functional skill that I teach in my FMD classroom.
ReplyDelete1. Procedurally I would create a task analysis to show the steps needed to successfully brush teeth. (Grab toothbrush, grab toothpaste, open toothpaste, put toothpaste on toothbrush,brush teeth, spit, rinse, and put items away)
2. During Anchor instruction I usually show a self-care video on brushing teeth as a model. The students then complete a practice activity brushing their teeth.
3. For enhanced anchor instruction the students can go into the restroom and use the sink to brush their teeth.
This is a great example.
DeleteThe skill I would teach is using a calculator to add and subtract. Many of my students have a lot of issues using a calculator and picking the correct sign. Procedurally, I would set up a task analysis and teach the students step by step how to use a calculator and which buttons to use for each function. For anchored instruction, I would show a video of someone going to the grocery and using a calculator to stay within a specified budget. For enhanced anchored instruction, we would go on CBI and practice using a calculator to stay within a specified budget.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I use the calculator and CBI budget idea all the time in my classroom.
DeleteThe skill I would teach would be eating with a fork. I have a kid who eats with his hands all of the time (much like Lindsay's student). the grade level can vary. The curriculum would be functional skills.
ReplyDelete1) I would use a procedural method. I would create a task analysis of how to use/eat with a fork.
2) for anchored instruction I could show a video of other people eating while using a fork and then show him a video of himself eating with a fork.
3) for enhanced I could take the student on cbi and have him eat in the community while using a fork.
I have students in 3rd – 6th grade that struggle with tying their shoes.
ReplyDeleteThe curriculum level would be life skills and the specific skill is learning how to tie shoes.
This skill would be taught procedurally in the form of a chain task.
I would begin with the following steps:
1. Grab one lace in each hand.
2. Pull the shoe laces tight with a vertical pull.
3. Cross the shoe laces.
4. Pull the front lace around the back of the other.
5. Put that lace through the hole.
6. Tighten the laces with a horizontal pull.
7. Make a bow.
8. Tighten the bow.
After baseline data has been collected I would then collect data as I continue to teach each step in tying shoes
The skill I would teach would be a functional life skill of folding towels and washcloths. I teach this skill in my classroom now of high school students however it could be taught to students earlier in the school career.
ReplyDelete1) For a procedural method I would create a task analysis of how to fold a towel.
2) for anchored instruction I would show a video of other people folding the towel. I have also in the past actually videoed students in my class doing the life skills task.
3)for enhanced I would take the student on a CBI to a laundry mat, or a hotel and have them practice folding the towels for the hotel. I would also encourage the parents to have the kids practice the skill at home.
