Beach Ball Observation

Improved Essays
The expected format of our group is as follows:
Warm-up beach ball toss activity: Participants in the group will be tossed a beach ball by one of the instructors. The instructors will first demonstrate the activity with each other and then pass the beach ball to one of the participants. The individual who catches the beach ball will state their name, what they know about yoga, and if they have ever done yoga before. That person will then toss the ball to another group participant and they will answer the questions next. This will continue until everyone has an opportunity to catch the ball. For individuals who do not feel comfortable speaking, they can just catch the ball and then toss it to the next person.
Estimated time: 10 minutes

    In Roxane Gay’s article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer” she explains her outlook on the beach and why it’s a place of discomfort rather than fun. “This is an ideal beach of hot sun, warm sand, crystal-clear water that leaves your skin salted. But it is all too often a mirage”(Gay) the beach isn’t always a place for everyone, and the expectations of the beach often leave people let down or disappointed. As much as I do love the beach and enjoy laying in the sun I agree with Gay’s perspective of the beach to an extent.…

    The Throwing Skills to Pay the Bills Of the key elements of a well-rounded softball player, a good throwing arm is definitely near the top of the list. While some are lucky enough to be born with throwing skills, even they won't be hurt by softball throwing drills which aim to improve distance and accuracy. When demonstrating these softball throwing drills, make sure to run through each drill at half speed first before increasing the pace. Also give every player who desires a chance to practice the motions slowly first. Not only will this reduce the chances of unnecessary injury, it will also allow the player to feel the correct way of doing things which will translate when the motions are sped up.…

    Chapter 3 had several interesting ideas that teachers should incorporate into their lesson plans for the first day of school. I absolutely love the Scavenger Hunt idea which encourages students to work together in teams while also getting accustomed to the classroom setting. They begin to figure out how the classroom is organized. Atwell introduced another game called Beach Ball Icebreaker. This game is played by having a huge beach ball with personal questions written all over it, tossed around the room and the student that catches the ball, answers the question that is closest to his or her thumb.…
