Lesson Plan Content (Written narrative paragraph about the lesson content.)
Students will be engaging in a lesson about juggling. Students will have a briefing on how
they will learn, and they will see demonstrations on how to practice. Students will then apply
their knowledge and attempt to juggle on their own using tennis balls. At the end of the class
the students will rate their progress with a thumbs up, side, or down. At the end of the lesson
the goal is for students to learn how to properly juggle.
