Description of how to implement in the class: In the gymnasium or classroom, the teacher will
project the website on the board. The teacher will lead the class through activities on the website,
and the students will follow. During the Move Mixer challenge, where the user can create a dance,
the teacher can have students come up and pick out a dance move until the dance is complete, and
then the teacher will press play and have the students do the dance.

Near the end of the lesson, the teacher will tell the students that over the weekend, their
homework is to visit the website and choose one Betchacant challenge to complete and email to
at least one friend outside of the class to challenge him or her. In order to make sure the students
complete the challenge of their choice, they must write 2-3 sentences explaining their challenge
and how they felt about the challenge.
* Examples of common instructional models include whole group, teacher-led, student self-paced, small
group, or individual learning activities. Use as many of these descriptors or other descriptors as apply.
