forward.
If the student is very successful have them
try to get as many in a row to their partner
as possible without them having to move.

CLOSURE:
Review:
Thank you all for participating and
helping today. It is important when first
learning a new skill to really focus on
each step of that skill. Who can tell the 4
cues of the skill. Does someone want to
come demonstrate for me? Which foot do
you use to step forward?
