Subject: Functional/Safety Skills |
|
1. Topic-
|
I can use a seat belt and be safe! |
|
|
2. Content-
|
Teach the safety need and procedures of connecting, leaving in place
for travel, and taking off a seatbelt.
buckle, latch, strap |
|
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
The students will be able to demonstrate the steps needed to connect,
leave in place for travel, and then disconnect the seatbelt with 100%
accuracy rate for 5 trials. |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1. The students will be able to follow the steps to connect the
seatbelt.
2. The students will be able to leave the seatbelt attached and in
place during the simulated travel time.
3. The students will be able to disconnect the seatbelt correctly
at the end of the simulated travel time. |
|
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
A replica car seat that has a seat belt attached for use in the
classroom.
Crayons, markers, paper, |
|
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
1. Ask, "Who likes to go for rides in the car?" "I know I do!" "Where
are some places we can go?" "Well I am going to go on a pretend trip
to the store." 2. Using the replica car seat and seatbelt, place yourself
in the front of the class and think Aloud the steps while identifying
each part: 1).Pull on the belt over your shoulder/waist and place
the buckle into the latch;2). Leave the belt latched and pretend with
engine sounds and role play traveling down the road (emphasizing the
need to leave the belt in place);3). Next, car stops and now you demonstrate
unbuckling the latch and getting out of the car.

B. Development-
1. Modeling this a second time, but ask for student input as to
where you would like to visit.
2. Explain explicitly that seatbelts are a safety device and that
everyone must wear them to travel in a vehicle. Engage students in
discussion about being safe.
3. Ask for one or two volunteers to role play the same scenario. (Students
often learn or internalize better when their own peers are modeling). |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. As part of the daily stations develop a station activity that
focuses on the seatbelt/safety procedures. Provide students with opportunities
to feel comfortable with the seatbelting steps.
2. Students will move through stations which are all safety related,
in small groups.
|
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
Students who use a wheelchair will participate orally/visually and
will be included in the step by step process and discussions.
|
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
Formative Assessment: For each day of the safety focus week each
student will be assessed one-on-one in a hands on demonstration of
how to use the seatbelt effectively and accurately. This can be done
at anytime in the day at teacher discretion
|
|
|
G. Closure-
Have students create a picture/poster of themselves riding in the
car and following the safety procedures of wearing a seatbelt.
|
|
|
7. Evaluation-
|
Teacher observations and formative assessment each day in the one-on-one
demonstration.
