Teacher Performance Objectives During the lesson the teacher will:

Speak loud enough for students to hear. Teacher will make sure volume is sufficient
by asking students questions, checking for understanding, and asking if all can hear.
Use the whistle effectively by using it loudly and only when needed. (To End Game
Play)
Special Considerations:
Everyone in class has to be aware of other students around them and the
volleyballs in the air and on the ground.
Students have to communicate about who they are passing to and to anyone they
may not mean to pass to if the volleyball ends up out of control.
Students have to be aware of where the net is.
Students have to watch out for pencils and papers on the ground.

tournament game play. Only needed if Coach Pod or Ms. Murray
want us to review a certain skill.

bag on the side of the court. The rest of the teams will go
