Lesson Objectives or Success Criteria (Word these as student actions, use verbs.)
Objectives for my lesson plan is to teach the students to juggle tennis balls more than 5
consecutive times.
CSTP Rationale (Describe the ways your lesson aligns with the six California Standards for the
Teaching Profession)

I talked to my mentor teacher about what we can do, and we brainstormed together and came
up with what I taught
CSTP 5 Assessing Students for Learning
They had to Juggle 5 times consecutively without dropping any of the balls.
Lesson Plan Content (Written narrative paragraph about the lesson content.)
I will grab their attention by using a strong commanding voice than pulling 5 kids out of my
class and showing and telling them how to juggle. Secondly, I give them their own 3 tennis
balls, they try themselves and I go around giving them tips on how to succeed. When they
succeed, they will be excused back to the rest of the class.
