3. Section 2: Lesson Introduction

- Create a student learning objective: (e.g. "As result of this lesson, students will be able to demonstrate _________".)
- Describe your system for classroom management and student grouping (e.g. class rules, consequences, rewards, and organization of the class during the activity)
- Describe the equipment needed and the environment (e.g. classroom, gym, outdoors, etc.)
