walking, running, leaping, hopping,
jumping, galloping, sliding, and skipping. Students will be able to change speeds will

Assessment

Strategy for Assessment: (Tool you use to measure the objective)

Participation in activities, participation in discussion

Learning Environment

Strategies to Meet Diversified Learners: (how to reach all students)

Demonstrations for ELL, Pair students up based on speed for steal the bacon, allow students
to choose different locomotor skills for red light, green light, small group discussion instead
of discussing as one large group
Materials, Equipment, and Technology Needed:
A tennis ball

direction, they have to go back to the start.
The first person to cross a specified end

having students just run, they can practice
other locomotor skills as well such as
hopping or crab walks or skipping.
