more female batters came up he guided, directed and instructed them
on the proper way to hold the bat and how to swing to make contact
with the ball. |

|
D. Independent Practice-
| One of the females was having a hard time with making
contact with the ball, so when she came up to bat in her second try
the instructor pulled her aside and began to demonstrate how to properly
swing and hold the bat. The majority of the student didn't have any
trouble making the game competitive and they played a fair game. |

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
| The accommodations the instructor made was by mixing up males with
females he was able to make the game fair so that the males wouldn't
be able to team up against the females and win. This mixture got females
more active in class and made them participate even when they may
not have wanted. He gave participation point for those who played
and took point away for those that didn't. |

F. Checking for understanding-
After the game was over the instructor collected the materials and
just had regular conversation with the students about their performance
during the game. He gave feedback from his perspective on how they
did. And the students responded with their opinions.
