    Sheldon Simas taught his first lesson of an introductory ultimate frisbee unit to his 3rd grade class of 20 students. The lesson focused on basic throwing skills using frisbees and cones set up in pairs across the field. The observer noted that Sheldon frequently used phrases like "you guys", "alright", and "OK" to get the students' attention. It was recommended that Sheldon find more inclusive ways to address the class, such as "class", "everyone", or "boys and girls", to avoid excluding any students.
