students from grades 4-6 to create a yoga workout of their own, and they
can choose to demonstrate the workout or simply turn in the project.

To conclude the lesson a quick guided imagery/visualization activity is 3-5

utilized to allow the students to reflect on what they had just
accomplished, and to relax. As they begin to relax I have the students
visualize each pose we had done, and listen to a scripted lesson to allow
the students to relax, and potentially fall asleep. This will help increase
their mindfulness as well as self-esteem when reflecting on the lesson.
Closure
Students will reflect on their experience from the start to end of the class,
and inform me of their feelings towards the activity. I will also provide
the option for my students to ask any questions they may have had. There
is also a comment box that is checked daily in the gym where students
can leave their comments to better aid me in my own reflection.

Summative Assessment (End of Unit)

Students will demonstrate mastery by creating their own yoga workout that will consist of their
favorite poses, and ones that they may have found challenging that they would like to try again.
Students will also demonstrate mastery of this unit by being able to name the variety of different
poses that we have gone through, and which areas of the body they are developing in terms of
strength and endurance.

Lesson Reflection (Complete after lesson)

I will keep a journal following each yoga activity to see how various age groups and grade levels
received the instruction, what I can do differently, and more strategies to captivate all students
throughout the lesson. More importantly I will observe how different populations of students
participate and whether it was a positive or negative experience for them. This will allow myself
to observe where the needs of my students are so that I can reach them better as a teacher.
