1. The first instruction when going into skill work for passing took quite a long time for a few reasons. I tried to teach four different skills to give them a variety ways to pass the ball. Then also there was an issue with focusing because of talking and bees. So it drew out the instruction time longer than planned because I had to spend 1-2 minutes to address that. Also they asked several questions toward the end because they were unclear with the rules that I wanted to enforce.

2. I could have been more of a disciplinary with this class because there were 3-4 students that were giving me the biggest issue with following or listening to instruction. I also could have kept it to two or maybe three skills to go over. My skill cues were short and concise, but the number of skills was a little too much for this class especially. Also I only needed to demonstrate the skills once or twice rather than 3-5 times. 3. Just being comfortable being strict and enforcing rules with harsher punishment. This class has the most students that go off task, has issues with focusing and listening, and has the most distracting students. I needed to get the rid of the main offenders and to allow the other kids to get playing quicker. 4. Content delivery was bunched too much together, especially with four skills to instruct. My skill cues were short enough, but having four skills instructed and demoed it dragged out the instruction time. 5. This class has the a few students whose biggest issues is with focus, talking, being off task, distracting others, and listening to instruction. Having several of them, allowed for the class to get out of control at times and did not allow me to observe play at all. This is an issue because it does not allow me to observe the students that are on task and actually playing. One thing I need to do is not get too wrapped up in their issues and if they dont fix their behavior quickly, either deduct points immediately or have them sit and take a zero. Although it is tough to do with numerous students, I need to at least discipline 1 or 2 of them.
