Behavioral Contingencies: Students will be expected

to actively participate during the lesson. If students
are misbehaving, a 2- strike rule will be
implemented. The first strike being that the student
will be pulled to the side and verbally warned about
the misbehavior and sit out for that activity. The
final warning, students will be pulled from all
activities. When the teacher is talking, the students
will place all equipment on the ground and their
hands on their head. Students will be removed from
activity if the equipment is used inappropriately.
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 techniques that will be used during the activities.

Instant Activity:
Virus Tag
This game is called Virus tag.
One student is the virus and one
student is the medic. Everyone

a new medic and virus.
