Domains		Objectives	Assessment Tool	Length of class: 15 minutes
Psychomotor	1/2	1. In this lesson the students will perform basic step aerobics moves and will be able to combine these moves into a step aerobics routine.	Teacher Assessment	Unit: Step Aerobics Focus: 24 step routine
Affective	2/ 5	2. Throughout the entire class all students will remain alert and focused on the step aerobics tasks that they will be faced with. Students will be expected to follow instructions and possibly demonstrate some movements.	Visual Check by Teacher	Equipment: 9 Steps, Pedometer, Ipod, stereo
Cognitive	/ 2	3.In the final segment of the class the students will perform the routine they just learned.	Visual Check by Teacher	Equipment: 9 Steps, Pedometer, Ipod, stereo
Safety Statement	2/5	4. Throughout the entire class students will be aware of their surroundings and watch out for other students performing their step routines. The students will avoid injury by listening closely to instructions and avoiding horse play and off task behavior.		References (e.g. pg #/website): YouTube.com

Demonstrates understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities. 3. Participates regularly in physical activity. 4. Achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of physical fitness. 5. Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings. 6. Values physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction

Where is fitness (NYS LS 1B) integrated into the lesson? Are components of fitness explicitly taught in fitness activity, health and/or skill related fitness component? Are components of fitness implicitly taught e.g. MVPA in a game?
Health-related Fitness (HRF)	HRF Goals	Sport-related Fitness (SRF)	SRF Goals
1. Cardiovascular endurance	1. Increase heart rate during the Stair Step, Butterfly, and Punch Step	1. Balance	1. On the steps while practicing movements the students will practice counter balancing themselves
2. Muscular strength	2. Using muscles arm and leg muscles for stepping up and arm movements	2. Coordination	2. Putting different moves together fluidly
3. Muscular endurance	3. Repeating the movements will tire the leg and are muscles and will build endurance	3. Agility	3. ability to move on and off the step to the beat of the music and keeping up with that pace
4. Flexibility	4. Increase during the routine when muscles warm up	4. Reaction time	4.
5. Body composition	5. Burning fat during step movements using all muscles during the ____ routine will help to decrease body fat.	5. Speed	5. Change to a faster passed song
6. Power			6. Exploding legs up to the sky

Lesson Components	Time (mins)	Organization & Transitions	Teaching Progressions – Showing the major number of activities within the selected level of (PC/C/U/P) for the class Also include some alternate activities if the class needs to move to simpler or higher levels of skill			Adaptations Assessments, Reminders
Instant Activity	3-4 min	Group	Human Knot- have 2 or 3 smaller groups then when group solves human puzzle combine to one big group. Add blindfolds to increase difficulty. Used as a method of stretching, or put music on and stretch through a command style stretch to music. This depends on group size and time constraints.			Stretch out muscles for routine, count kids to figure out equipment and groups
Physical Fitness			Stretching will occur during instant activity and will save time during main activity
Introduction, Signal for Attention Anticipatory Set	1-2 minutes	T SSSSSS SSSSSS	Good morning class! Today we are introducing three new moves using our background on step aerobics. Today we will be using a lot of music so when you hear the music stop playing please stop what you are doing, look for me and listen for my instruction. At the end of class today you will have learned 3 movements and have created your own step aerobic movement.. Mention how not being stretched properly can cause injury and no horsing around on steps.			Ask kids if everyone understands what is going on for the day and if anyone has questions.
Demonstration	2-3 minutes	S T S SSSS SSSS	Name your feet 1 and 2 foot.. The Demonstration will be done by myself facing a mirror with the kids behind me at each station. As I introduce the movements the students will follow as I proceed with the movements at every station. Students will split up into groups at each station. Students will share the steps standing on opposite sides rotating movements.. Difficulty progression from simple movement to most difficult. Stair step, Butterfly, Punch Step			Make sure all kids are comfortable with their steps if they prefer to just do the movements on the ground allow it
Body of Lesson (Lesson Focus)			Tasks (Extensions) - Activities for the whole class	Cues (Refinements) – Secret to improve performance	Challenges (Applications) - More chances to practice the same tasks	There will be a rotation format between movements. Station 1:Stair Step, Station 2:Butterfly, Station 3: Punch Step
	2-3 minutes	T SSSSS SSSSSS	1. Students walk up to their step and begin following my movements first: shoulder raises, shoulder shrugs, arm extension, side lunges walking in place	1. Balls of your feet, Back straight, Balance	1. Getting loose and mentally ready for lesson	Get the blood flowing a little more from the Instant activity.
	2-3 minutes	T SSSSS SSSSS	2. From walking in place incorporate Stair Step 1 foot up 2 foot up 1 foot down 2 foot down 2 foot up 1 foot up 2 foot down 1 foot down	2. 1 foot up 2 foot up, 1 foot down 2 foot down, Switch	2. Getting comfortable with the step and moving on and off it continuously.	Keep kids focused on task be energetic use music to advantage
	2-3 minutes	T SSSSS SSSSS	3. Butterfly	3. 1 foot up arms closed, 2 foot up arms open, 1 foot down 2 foot down arms closed	3. Incorporating arm movements will increase the difficulty	Keep eye on the less advanced kids and keep them doing modified versions of the movements
	2-3 minutes	T SSSSS SSSSS	4. Punch step	4. Alternating Punch with knee raise 3x each side	4. Incorporate balance and coordination	Make sure kids are staying safe and the activity is at their learning level
	2-3 minutes	T SSSSS SSSSSS	5. Student creates their own movement	5. Created by student	5. Students must be creative and possibly create a variation of the movement that we have done already
Activity close (Optional)	2-3 minutes	T SSSSS SSSSS	Finish with some walking in place then have students stretch muscles and while they are doing this check for understanding and give feedback and see what they liked/disliked			Be informative
