Lesson Cycle
Warm-Up/Ticket-In Activity Stretches

Questions (Progression Based on Blooms Taxonomy) None

Intro to New Material/Class Activity How will you build background knowledge? What real world application can you use? Teach the students the history and rules of the Step aerobics before we began

Guided Practice/Modeling How will you gradually release learning to students? I start the Step Aerobics unit by introducing/teaching some of the basic steps (without music). On day two of the unit we put the basic steps to music so that the students are able to work on counting steps and can hear how the routines are cued. Independent Practice How will you include speaking, group work, and opportunities for student movement? As the groups were teaching/performing their routine the rest of the class was following along on their own steps. I inform the class that if they are talking or goofing off during another groups lesson they lose points on their own grade. Differentiation How will you differentiate or tier instruction? (i.e. Tier A (lowest level), Tier B (mid level), Tier C (high level) The students are assessed on the following criteria: 1. The routine included 6 steps learned in class and 2 original steps. 2. The routine flowed together well and they cued the class. 3. All group members knew the routine and stayed with the music. Summary/Closure/Exit Ticket I start the teaching component of the unit. I split the students into groups of four and they have to create their own step routine. They are required to include 6 steps that they learned in class and 2 original steps. As a group they have to choose a song (school appropriate) and make sure that their routine goes with the music. The routine must last the entirety of the chosen song.
