a safe manner to reduce the risk of any injuries. Each

any conflict. The teacher will verbally review the rules
and expectations before the start of the activity. Before
the start of class, the teacher will have knowledge of
any health related issues the students may have, which
will be provided by the school. If an emergency occur,
the teacher will remain calm while transporting the
students to a safe environment or shelter, based on the
situation. If a student is injured, the teacher will stop
the activity and have the students seated away from the
injured student while the teacher notifies the proper

Behavioral Contingencies: The activities will begin

and end on the instructors cue (whistle). Students will
be given two warnings before having to sit out quietly
on the green bench for not following directions,
misbehaving, or any behavior that is not allowed in
Tiger Pride. The student will sit out for the remainder
of the activity. If a fight occurs, an adult supervisor
will be called to detain the students who were engaged
in the altercation. The rest of the students will be
seated out the way of harm until the situation has been
resolved.

Previously Learned Skills: Team building, cooperative

learning(communication).

Teaching Strategy: I will start the lesson using the

command style teaching strategy. The instruction will
be provided by using an interactive approach and
verbal cues to assist the students in understanding the
COTS that will be used during the soccer activity.

Academic Language: Some academic languages that

will be used are teamwork and communication.
Students will understand the differences between the
two.. Students will gain a strong sense of
understanding the importance of cooperative learning
during the rainbow parachute module. Students will
also understand why spatial awareness is important
during busy activities and planning in the rainbow
parachute activity.
