TEACHER PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES - During the lesson the teacher will:

Give at least 15 pieces of feedback throughout the lesson.
Keep his back to the wall at all times throughout the lesson.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the
students in this class?
1. The students probably dont know what rhythm means.
2. There are 3 students with autism so I need to make sure to keep an eye on
them at all times.
3. The teacher must make sure that the students dont hit each other with
their rhythm sticks.
