This lesson will utilize all of the four learning styles discussed in EDU221. These four learning styles consists of beach ball, puppy, clipboard, and microscope. Students will be given the Comic Rubric before they start the assignment of creating a blog which will meet the needs of the students with the clipboard learning style because students will know exactly what is expected of them and what they need to do. Students with the beach ball learning style will benefit from the different types of exercises throughout the class that involve having to move around in get into different seating arrangements. Students with the puppy learning style will benefit from working with partners and working as a whole class to discuss the benefit of physical activity due to the peer-to-peer interactions. Students will also work together to create a Comic Life comic. Students will be asked to brainstorm reasons why it is so important to participate in physical activity, which will meet the learning styles of microscope students, because they want to know why things work they way they do and why things are important. Students explain the interrelationship of physiological responses and physical, mental/intellectual, emotional, and social benefits related to regular participation in physical activity.

Classroom arrangement: My class will start off with the desks in the regular way they find them when they come into class. Then later on in class students will set up with the desks in a one big circle. Every student will have a desk in the circle and so will the teacher. By having desks in one big circle it will promote better classroom discussion. I will keep all materials that are needed for that day’s class near by on my desk. Day 1 (80 minutes): Day 2 (80 minutes): Students will be shown a compilation of foreign commerical's on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYkjt3-kHMX&feature=related). The commercials will talk about and address physical activity. Students will understand the importance of physical activity. Students will understand the many different types of benefits of participating in physical activity and the consequences that come along with being inactive. Students will realize that physical activity not only improves your physical health, but also your mental and social well-being. Students will know physical activity terminology (exercise, physical activity, overweight, obese). Students will know the social health benefits and the physical health benefits of participating in regular physical activity (See content notes)**.** Students will use a spider web to exhibit the importance of physical activity. Students will work in pairs while making their spider web. Students will also work in pairs to create a comic using Comic Life. Students will peer review each other’s comics and make suggestions/comments. Teacher will check understanding by class discussion and using thumbs up/thumbs down. Once students receive feedback from peers/teachers, they will revise their work. Teacher will make comments on the students Comics to allow students to refine. Students will be able to exhibit the importance of physical activity through the use of Comic Life. Students will reflect a social and physical health benefit of physical activity. Students will work in pairs to brainstorm ideas, and will create a comic using Comic Life. Students will work with other groups to peer-revise one another’s work. The class as a whole will also work together to brainstorm ideas and will work together as peer-revisers by making comments on student’s comic rubrics. The teacher will also give timely feedback on a rubric scale handout.

Students will self-assess their work by referring back to the Comic Rubric. Students will also be able to self-assess by looking at the comments that other groups wrote on their rubrics. The teacher will provide timely feedback to students by going around during class and giving feedback, which ensure that students will get their comments immediately. The teacher will also give feedback on the rubric handout where the teacher will be able to get into greater detail. This lesson connects to future lessons because students may use the benefits that they have learned for future assignments, including the final project. Students will know physical activity terminology (exercise, physical activity, overweight, obese). (See Lesson Plan 1 for definitions if needed) Students will know the short-term and long-term affects of regular participation in physical activity.
