Overview, Objectives and Words to Know

Unit 5 Introduction Lesson Content

Overview

Unit 5 will introduce operator procedural and information processing tasks in a low risk driving environment. Basic vehicle maneuvering tasks will include vehicle operating space and an introduction to the space management system. The space management system will be used to determine appropriate roadway position, appropriate vehicle speed and appropriate communication with other users. Roadway characteristics discussed will be interaction with intersections, surface conditions and traffic controls. Looking for open, closed and changing areas of space and divided attention/multi-tasking will also be discussed.

Objectives

The student will:

1. Identify and describe how effective visual skills help to manage risk when operating a motor vehicle.

2. Identify the vehicle operating space and maintain an adequate space cushion.

3. Define stopping distance and how it applies to the space around the vehicle.

4. Demonstrate knowledge of the space management system SEE. Demonstrate knowledge of the search process and describe where, when, how and what a driver needs as part of the search process. Demonstrate knowledge of the evaluating risk process. Demonstrate knowledge of the executing process for making an appropriate response.

5. Demonstrate knowledge of procedures for selecting and positioning a motor vehicle in the proper lane for safe, smooth driving.

6. Identify how to divide attention between path of travel and demands inside the vehicle.

7. Key words associated with the unit objectives.

Learning Activity 5.1

Key Words ? Word Wall

Topic

Word Wall

Information Students begin to assimilate a new language in driver and traffic safety education. Some words are familiar, but others are new. The use of a word wall helps students with vocabulary and spelling as well as provides students with a tool for reference without "giving away" answers.

Materials Needed 1. Make word cards out of paper, poster board, or card stock cut in strips.

2. Markers in various colors.

3. A space to post words (i.e., bulletin board).

4. Tape or stapler and staples to affix cards on the word wall.

Learning Activity 1. As the instructor introduces new words in a unit, the instructor should post these words on the word wall. a. The instructor should remind students to use the words on the wall for recall and correct spelling. b. When an instructor poses a question and a student correctly answers the question, the instructor should allow that student to make a word strip and post the strip in the designated location on the word wall. Because this is new learning, recalling words are part of the learning process. c. Students often enjoy decorating their word with a particular flair, color, or design.

2. Words may remain posted for just the unit or remain posted throughout the course.
