The document discusses a lesson plan for introducing 9th grade students in West Virginia to fantasy football. The teacher will split the 26 students into 4 teams to come up with team names and colors. Students will be engaged through visual and hands-on learning, including watching videos, collaborating in groups, and presenting their decisions to the class. The goal is for all students, including those with ADHD, to actively participate and make new friends.

2.  My students are ninth graders from Wayne County,
West Virginia. There are 26 students total with 10
girls and 16 boys. They are all pretty tech savvy and
hands-on learners.

3.  My students will be introduced to Fantasy Football, and they
will be divided into four “teams.” They will then have to come
up with a team name and team colors by the end of the class
period. Each person in the groups must participate for credit.

4.  My method for this day is to use visual learning and
interaction with their peers. It will be a chance for students
with ADHD to be able to talk without being scolded, and a
chance for students to make new friends.

5.  I will first play a Voki for the class to peak their interest in
what is to come. I will then introduce them to Fantasy
Football by having them watch a video. In order to make this
assignment work in a week, my students will be split into four
“teams.” Because there are 26 students, two teams will have
6 students and two will have 7. Each team will spend time in
class deciding on a team name and team color(s). This will
give the students a break from the quiet classroom and allow
them to collaborate with their peers. At the end of the class
period, they will present their decisions to the class.

6.  In order to receive credit for this day, every student must
participate in the team decision making. I will make sure they
are actively participating by posting their colors in a
discussion thread on our class Facebook page.

7.  As students begin to collaborate in their groups, I will walk
around and observe who is participating, and how well they
get along. I will redo groups if needed, but for the most part
they will have to work out all the kinks for themselves. I will
continue to evaluate them each day.
