  Case: Participation
Physical education is a performance based class and participation is essential. At the middle school level, Coach Finn is having a hard time getting the girls in his class to participate. He has explained to them that their grade will reflect their participation or their lack of participation. Usually, the girls will participate for a brief period of time before they lose interest again. What are some ways to encourage participation from all individuals?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am certainly not a PE Coach, but I have friends who are and they struggle with the same thing. I would suggest have them 3 different activities to choose from. I am not sure what kind of things are okay to do in PE these days but maybe set up a group that jump ropes, one that hula hoops, and another that learns a dance routine by video. Maybe that would help. If not, do a survey on exercise activities that they would like to incorporate into class.
