Create an intervention lesson for a 1st grade student on staying focused and following directions. Include one, two and three step directions for the student to practice following.

This resource, titled 'Focus Power: Mastering Directions,' aims to help learners improve their attention and ability to follow directions effectively. It introduces the concept of Focus Power as the ability to concentrate and engage fully in different tasks. The content outlines essential components of focus, such as using your eyes to watch, ears to listen, your brain to think about the information, and maintaining a calm body posture. Through various activities, including drawing and gross motor challenges, learners practice one-step, two-step, and three-step directions, thereby enhancing their listening skills and ability to remember sequences. The resource also includes visual trackers for success celebrations and self-assessment, encouraging students to reflect on their performance and progress in following directions.
