After the learners perform the same lesson twice. Once with physical activity and once without learners must reflect. Learners should give a quiz after each lesson, so that they can reflect and evaluate both lessons. Learners will do this in their journal on Google Classroom.

Next, learners will discuss their outcomes on Google Classroom. https://classroom.google.com/c/MjAwMjk1NjAwODIzhttps://classroom.google.com/c/MjAwMjk1NjAwODIz
