Learning At a Fast Pace

Learning At a Fast Pace is a unit we do with 6, 7, and 8th grade. Each student is given an iPod, headphones, and a pedometer. We downloaded three audiobooks on each iPod for each grade level. The students walk/jog around the track and must get 2,500 or more steps to receive all their points for P.E. class while comprehending the audiobook. At the end of the unit, each student takes an Accelerated Reader test on their comprehension of the book in which is used for part of their English grade.
