The document outlines a lesson plan to teach students about persistence. It includes an objective review where students discuss what persistence means. They then participate in a tree pose activity where they hold a challenging yoga pose with and without chair support, and reflect on how they demonstrated persistence. Finally, students write independent reflections on how they showed persistence during the activity.

Objective: SWBAT complete a challenge and identify how they demonstrate
persistence in the activity
Objective Review Students read the objective as a class
(2 min) 1-2 students restate the objective in their own words Turn and talk – what is persistence? How did you show it during the last activity? Give us examples Students turn and talk – how have they shown persistence (4 min) this week? Share full group Tree Pose Activity Activity: (15 min) Provide the directions Start timer once students are holding tree pose using the chair for support 30 seconds in, tell students they have to let go of the chair Continue until all students are done Reflection o What strategies worked during this? o How did you feel during the activity? o How does that demonstrate persistence? o How did you feel when the support of the chair was removed? o How did that make you feel? o How did this demonstrate persistence? Repeat with another round Reflection o How did you improve in the second round? o What did you do differently? o How does this show persistence? Written Reflection Independently, have students write a reflection describing (6 min) what they did in the activity and how they showed persistence during the activity.
