Participation in class and group discussion is an essential activity to accomplish the learning goals of the unit and it’s done more than one time along the three instructional days.

Second, I will promote small groups, instead of big groups or class discussion. Students with special learning disability may gain confidence and express themselves better into a small group. Third, I will create my own tumbling

I attend class regularly but at the same time I only answer questions from time to time during the class. When the instructor poses a questions I’m responsive with the beliefs I have on the subject.
