Summary

My lesson is designed for 8th grade boys. I am sure it could be used for any middle school level for Physical Education classes. For this particular lesson of touch/flag football, I did not want too much color to distract the students. I provided just enough items that I believe will not lose their interest during delivery. My headings are consistent with yellow color and white text that is easy to read. I believe that the lesson flows in a direction that is easy to follow and leaves time for question and answering. The Power Point is also available on my class website for students that are absent for any reason.my.ccsd.netMr.Stewart
