Students will be instructed on proper form for basic skills and more advanced forms of these skills. They will be encouraged to first master the basic form before moving on to the more advanced form. They will also be put into activities and games that help them work on these skills. For example: a bump set spike drill (see video) and a passing game in which they must keep the ball up as long as possible,

Students will make successful progress in both their volleyball knowledge and skills and move on to the next unit.
Students will be broken up into 3 groups (of 4) and will again be put into skill stations. These stations will focus on the skills they struggled with in the pre-assessment. Students will be given instruction of proper form and be asked to practice these skills with a partner.
Students will be allowed to practice these skills in fun activities and games such as "volley tennis" (2 teams passing and bumping across a low net) and "4 square" (4 players try to prevent the ball from landing in their own square)
In their groups of 4 students will create a volleyball skills bulletin board which shows the basic skills and definitions of volleyball.
Students will perform the pre-assessment activities again to check their progress. If students are found not to have progressed enough they will be put back into groups and work on the specific skills/knowledge they need help in.
Students show enough progress and knowledge to move on to the next unit.
First the students will be split into 2 groups. ELL students and non-ELL students. All students will be given instruction on basic volleyball terms and shown the proper form. Flashcards and body language will be used during instruction. Each group will be asked to make a "3 senses volleyball board" to display what they have learned.
Both groups will again be given instruction on proper form of basic skills. For ELL students, flashcards and body language will again be used. Students will be asked to perform the skills as best as they can before moving on to any games or activities. Special needs students may use a lighter/softer ball or balloon to practice coordination. These students may also need specialized instruction and may be considered for tier 2 RTI.
Potential special needs students will be given the pre-assessment again using a lighter ball or balloon and personal instruction while performing the skill.
ELL students will be given the pre-assessment again using flashcards and body language and will be given more time if necessary.
If students show progress in skills and knowledge they will be moved on to the next unit.
Students who do not show progress in skills or knowledge will be moved to tier 2 or 3 and receive more personal instruction 2-3 times a week during off class hours. They will be given modifications of the pre-assessment again to monitor progress
