The first physical education class I got to observe was taught by Heather Karnes at James W. Parker Middle School. The class ran from 10:52 a.m. to 11:37 a.m. The students were in 6th grade. There was actually two classes combined into one class. Ms. Karnes had to change her plans for the class. The class was actually supposed to run the mile for the physical fitness tests, but the weather was no cooperating. She had to come up with something quickly that could be done inside the gym, since they could not go outside. This class was taught in a direct teaching style. The teacher created a controlled environment where she was the demonstrator, lecturer, and motivator. When the class began, the students came out of the locker rooms
