Safety Issues The students not being honest on their assessments; therefore giving them unrealistic goals.

Grouping for each activity: Same pair they were in last time so they can give each other suggestions for goals they want to accomplish.

Technical Description:
The goal is to have each student self-assess his or her personal fitness and make recommendations for change. Students will be asked to identify areas for change and what activities they prefer to engage in. I will first lecture on what goals should be made in order to be successful. For example, only raising a couple lbs, or a 5 more push-ups since we are assessing again next month. This way they cannot get discouraged that they are not reaching their goals. I will explain the benefit of keeping a these goals and assessments in order to improve. This will be a teaching day and not very active, but learning how to properly begin to be active.

Learning Experiences (introduction, drills)
1 Appropriate goals

2 Examples of goals

3 having students help each other in partners for good goal making and to answer the other questions on their own.

4 lecture good ranges and healthy zones so they have an idea if they are average or not.

Grouping/Transition: Staying in pairs

Verbal cues:

Be honest
Set worthy goals
Be realistic

Closure: Turn assessments and goals back in so I can review them properly and make sure each student has done this correctly. Have the students answer questions of why this is so important and the benefits of goals.

Suggestions for follow-up
Marking the goals each week and if they were followed looking over their sheets daily
