She really went into depth with how she explained the activity. She explain all the skills needed to be able to perform, and be successful. She even used a model of the "Expert" student to show a model for others. This is a useful tool to succeed. Only thing I didn't see is what skills would be needed prior to being able to complete. Other than that it is spot on!

She made sure that there were numerous activities for students to perform. If they were not successful at one, maybe they would be at another. The different variations is able to maintain consistent engagement throughout the class time. The engagement was not missed!

She did great at the end with closing discussions, asking for demonstrations. This is a great way to figure out which students were successful during the activity, and who may need more practice on the skill. Asking for them to perform the skill gives time at the end of class to correct any areas that may need it.

She explained that this is a progressional activity that can lead to things such as ping pong, badminton, and tennis. So for this that have mastered this skill, they should move on to learning these sports to see if they are able to master it. She really painted this activity well and she did a great job overall with this lesson plan!

In this lesson, students will demonstrate key elements of hand dribbling while walking.  Emphasis is placed on using the fingertips and pushing the ball downward.  Students are also reminded to keep the ball below their waist while dribbling and to strive to look up.

I love that each student has their own piece of equipment in this activity which promotes 100% engagement.  In part 1 of the lesson, students are dribbling and then stopping to high five a partner which will generate enthusiasm.  Another key element is that the activity is constantly changing and progressing which will keep students focused and on task.  Playing positions also change in the lesson....some students are meatballs while others are spaghetti...- very fun!

Sharon explains that she will evaluate individual student skills as they are dribbling their basketballs in the hoop (dipping the meatball in the marinara sauce).  She also will be playing along with the kids which is another great way to evaluate student progress.  Essential questions are discussed, demonstrated, and answered throughout the lesson with extra emphasis in closing.  Individuals are asked to demonstrate mastery of the skill along with knowledge they gained during the lesson.

Students are given options in this activity.  They are allowed to dribble using either a basketball or playground ball, depending on their comfort / ability level.  Students also have the opportunity to use both their dominant and non-dominant hand while dribbling.  Sharon is also rotating playing positions which allows a student who might be struggling with the skill of dribbling to play defense and hopefully experience success.

The skills are very clear and detailed. The students are expected to demonstrate the correct technique when striking an object with a short handled implement. Students will grip the paddle with their dominant hand while turning their wrist upward. Emphasis on correct legs placement before striking the birdie. Students should move their racket back and then swing it forward while releasing the birdie then stepping into a ready position.

The lesson is structured with fun yet challenging activities that will keep the students highly motivated and engaged. I love that the difficulty level of the the different challenges in the start of the lesson goes up with each challenge and then transition from an individual challenge into a partner one. The main activity, Birdie In a Bucket, has many opportunities for all the students to be successful by either landing the birdie in the hoop, hit the bucket or make it inside the bucket. Students are kept motivated by collecting their snowballs and competing against their peers in many rounds. Can't wait to try it with my students!

Susan will evaluate her students while observing them during the different activities and games. She will be looking for proper grip on racket, proper stance, proper aim and swing. Susan makes sure to allow students to show off their skills which is a great way to evaluate them during her lesson. Also, during closing, students respond to questions about the skills that were taught and demonstrate the correct form of these skills. I really liked the self assessment the students had to make about their own progress (Thumb up-yes, thumb down -no, thumb in the middle-I'm getting there). This is a wonderful way to gage how confident the students are with their skills and to know if more practice is needed in a future lesson.

Students are able to use different rackets length, larger birdies, and use softer equipment. Players can rotate positions while playing the game. The targets can increase or decrease in size and the distance to the target can be adjusted to ensure the success of all students and also provide a challenge for the students who are more advanced.

I like the variety of options given to the students in order for them to find their comfort level with this lesson.  The rotation of playing positions for the students also gives them the opportunity to try another position if they struggle or to keep engagement However, if they mastered one then being able to try & master another solidifies engagement of the master learner.

I love how this game is self pace and students are more confident within themselves to preform a task since its self paced. Incorporating math and earning/loosing money is a great way to incorporate STEM into the lesson. There is also a health component in the game about missing breakfast where students loose money. The game of monopoly is a great way to add variety and levels of engagement . Tosha Salerno

# data[].attributes.body
Visual assessment for engagement and participation is being evaluated during the game. This is also a great time to help individuals who may be struggling within a exercise to provide modifications or challenges for individuals or are successful. During closure the teacher asked the students why some of the stations they land on  request to pay the banker such as, fried food pit stop or tv toll tax. I think incorporating healthy living choices is a great to increase participation.

I like how physical activity, math and health were all added into the game of monopoly. I believe that having a variety of lessons helps keep the students engaged and also learning throughout the class. This monopoly game can be used in a variety of skill assessments as well and how he utilizes pedometers and have students report their steps is a great way to keep them excited and motivated to participate. In addition, utilizing white boards and markers for students within the math component is another aspect for students to become more comfortable within the content of mastering their math skills.

I like the "differentiated instruction" listed in the plans...shorter racquet, larger birdies, etc. She has included many different options for each student to achieve success. This activity  allows for the more advanced students to be challenged...but not overwhelming the less skilled students.
