The six stations plus jump ropes will be spread out evenly around gym. Each student will use each piece of equipment for a pre determined amount of time, and promptly "rotate" in circuit fashion to the next apparatus.
 

C. Practice-

Students are at their circuits and ready. Teacher will rotate between the circuits to make sure proper execution is being utilized.
 

D. Independent Practice-

Students will be performing exercises on their own with assistance if needed.
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

Students with limitations will be monitored more closely, and circuit ideal will be modified if needed.
 

F. Checking for understanding-

Ask students what they thought of the circuit and if they feel as if they got a good workout in.
 

G. Closure-

1.Teacher will explain that circuit training is important
2.because it allows one to get a good cardiovascular workout in.
 
7. Evaluation-
1.The teacher will evaluate the lesson by the students performance during the lesson.
2.All students should have been actively engaged in the circuit and been able to be successful through the entire circuit.
