Describe procedures (e.g., teacher actions, student actions,

grouping procedures, monitoring procedures) you will follow
during the entire lesson. Include introduction, active
engagement, and closure; provide a time frame for each section.
The lesson should be scripted and detailed in such a way that a
substitute would be able to execute your plan without any issue.

Introduction – 10 Min

which is called the pic & roll. I will demonstrate with a student and
allow them to practice for (3 min).
