Reflection: This lesson was improved a lot from the first time we taught it. We did the instant activity with a circle where the teachers were
in the middle instead of in front of the students. This was better because everyone could see us and we could see all the students and make
sure they were on task. We also improved the instruction time for the activities because at first it took way too long. I think it was a good
idea to have 2 groups and have them learn 4 stations at a time and then rotate them through the 4 stations. I know I improved how fast I
demonstrated my activities, but the only thing I would change is the football throw station. I went over the safety so many times telling
students not to throw when someone is getting their balls and that they should all throw first, then get the balls. It was tough repeating the
same thing so many times.
