1) BRIDGE: Tying a Reef Knot or will it be a Granny Knot

Test to see if anyone knows what a Granny Knot or Square Knot or Reef knot is?

2) Teaching OBJECTIVES:

Everyone should be able to tie a knot in a rope or string especially if they are going to be a sailor, or move and need to secure their belongings. By tying knots an individual and the group can bond together knowing they have a skill in common.

3) Learning OBJECTIVES: “SWBAT”

Students will be able to tie a Reef or Square knot and know that it is correct and not a Granny knot.

4) PRETEST: Have you ever tied a knot?

5) PARTICIPATORY This unit is to be carried out with their eyes closed first for all the instructions to find out if they respond well to auditory instructions and then it is to be done again with their eyes open.

6) POST-TEST Final results are easy to test. Students are provided with string, cord, and a picture of the final results for them to self evaluate.

7) SUMMARY A good exercise to see how the students learn, by hearing and seeing.

Problem is how to encounter special needs students.
