Verbal Cues: Hug the ball. Hike.

Learning Experiences:
Introduction- Use the skills we have learned in the previous lessons to know where to run and how to throw the ball to our teammate.

Closure- I will explain how we are using all of these drill in preparation for actual game play at the end of the unit. Also, the girls will feel more prepared and more motivated to play flag football this week.

Assessments: The affective assessment will take place later in the week in their journals. I have previously asked what they would rate their motivation and I hope by the end of the week the average of 4.9 will go up. Also, I will observe each of the girls as the drill goes on to see if they are completing the cognitive and psychomotor objectives.

Follow up suggestions: Add previous drills together and let them make up their own drills. Or if the girls are getting bored, tell them to run at the girl they just passed the ball to. This will get the runners in the mind set they need to protect the ball and run.

Reference: none

The first students in lines 1 and 3 will pass their footballs to the first person in lines 2 and 4. Those runners will then protect the ball while running to give the ball to the first person in lines 3 and 1. You run to the line that you passed or ran to.

Flag Football 9/16

Weber State University Physical Education
Lesson Plan

Activity: Flag Football

Skill(s): Punting, Throwing, Catching Grade Level: 7th to 9th Grade girls

# of Students: 40 Equipment: Flags, Footballs, Cones

Connect to Utah State Standard: Standard 1 Objective 2 A. Consistently throw and catch or kick and receive a ball being guarded by opponents.

Learning Objectives:

Cognitive- Students will understand the difference between offense and defense.

Affective- Students will want to catch and throw the football consistently.

Psychomotor- Students will improve on their punts from the beginning to end of the class period.

Safety Issues: Don’t throw or punt the ball into another person.

Student grouping for each activity: We will have as many groups as there are footballs. I will have to predetermine the groups so that they are the smallest possible.

Technical Description of the skills: Each group will have a ball. The first person in line is the receiver so they need to run about 15 to 20 feet away from their group. The next person in line is the defender and they will need to face their line and defend the third person in line who is the QB. The QB can decide how they want the ball to get to the receiver either by throwing or punting the ball. They will have one chance to get rid of the ball while they are being defended. The receiver will either receive the ball or go and retrieve it. The line will then rotate. See diagram below.

Verbal Cues: Hike, Punt, Pass

Learning Experiences:
Introduction- We will go through the warm and then shortly discuss the difference between defense and offense and what the rules of each party are.

Closure- We will discuss the differences between defense and offense and ask how the girls felt about playing offense. Did the defender make them want to do better or did it just make them want to give up easier?

Assessments: I will watch the girls while they punt and throw and see if the passes are getting better.

Follow up suggestions: Let the girls play the game with the rule that they have to mark up on someone at all times so they are always playing either defense or offense.

Reference:

Diagram of learning environment and equipment set up:



Blue= Students in line
Green= Quarterback

Student grouping for each activity: Randomly done by whistle mixer to get 8 lines, 4 running lines.

Technical Description of the skills: To complete this drill there will be a standing/ throwing line and a running/ catching line. The first person in the running line will break away and open up for a pass. The thrower will then complete a pass to the runner. The goal is to complete the pass on the go just like in game play. See the diagram below.

Verbal Cues: Follow through, Now or Pass

Learning Experiences:
Introduction- We will try out different skills to give the girls a chance to see what they are good at and what they think they would like to improve on. We will do the warm up as well. We will do less stretching and more running or less running and more stretching, I will let them choose.

Closure- We will talk about how the give and goes will be used in game play. And ask the girls how they liked doing this drill.

Assessments: I will ask the girls how many times they were able to complete a pass and if they liked being the thrower or runner more.

Follow up suggestions: Let them do the same drill but teach them more about defense and offense.

Reference:

Diagram of learning environment and equipment set up:


Purple Square= Cone
Orange dots= Standing/ throwing line
Green dots= Runners/ receivers

Learning Objectives:

Cognitive- Students will understand what follow through means.

Affective- Students will be excited to learn how to play ultimate Frisbee.

Psychomotor- Girls will demonstrate what a follow through looks like.

Safety Issues: Don’t throw the Frisbee into anyone. Use correct foot work for balance.

Student grouping for each activity: I will use the whistle mixer to get the girls into pairs.

Technical Description of the skills: The students will be in an athletic stance and will need to put their dominate foot forward. They will turn their dominant side towards their target. Next you will wind up the Frisbee across your body and with great effort unwind it while your arm is parallel to the ground. It’s important to let go before your arm is completely extended. And lastly, follow through by pointing to where you intended the Frisbee to go. The exact point of release will help your Frisbee in the intended direction.

Our Introductory drill- Each girl will have a partner or two and they will take turns throwing the Frisbee to one another. They will start about 5 feet apart and they will gradually move backward. See diagram below.

Verbal Cues: Follow Through.

Learning Experiences:
Introduction- We will start with the warm up and then I will introduce the crab walk. A crab walk is done by facing stomach toward the sky and walking on your hands and feet. It needs to be done while keeping the bum off the ground. We will then go into the explanation of how to throw a Frisbee.

Closure- The closure will consist of writing in their journals the following questions.

1. How motivated are you to play Ultimate Frisbee? 0 to 5
2. Tip to remember while throwing a Frisbee.
3. What is something you think you could work on during this Frisbee unit?

Assessments: I will observe each girl making at least 1 good pass with a follow through.

Follow up suggestions: Have the girls throw the Frisbee while standing on their knees.

Reference:

Diagram of learning environment and equipment set up:



Colored dots= Students
Blue Circles= Frisbees
Slashed Lines= Throwing Path
Thick Black Lines= Markers for Throwing Distance

Each color represents a different group of students. Ideally you want 2 students in a group and 1 Frisbee for this drill. If you must have 3 then just alternate who throws and catches it on one end. When you see that you students are making consecutive passes give them the signal that they can move back to the next marker. The purpose of this drill is to make consecutive passes from different distances and to use your follow though to ensure your Frisbee is making it to your teammates.

Cognitive- The girls will understand how to put them selves in an imaginary position.

Affective- The girls will desire to be in positive or negative positions.

Psychomotor- The girls will act out their person during role play.

Safety Issues: Be nice to others and don’t put others down. This is all an imaginary situation. Since there are negative situations it is important and the girls don’t touch each other while acting angry or mad.

Student grouping for each activity: The girls will be in pairs and I will let them pick their partners. I may add them with another pair to make groups of 4.

Technical Description of the skills:
Students will be put into groups of 4 and each student will be given a role to act out. 2 of the students will be a part of the negative act and the other 2 will be a part of the positive act.

The Negative act consists of both a mad referee and an angry player. The students will need to depict the situation of the referee kicking the player off the field. They are allowed to voice their opinions as long as nasty words are not said and they are considerate to each other. It is important to remember that they are role playing so nothing should be taken personally.

The Positive act is between two players at half time. Their team is in the lead 2 to 0 and they are encouraging each other to keep up the good work and to stay ahead. A pep talk could also describe this situation. Both players are urged to say only positive things.

In the groups, each pair of students will have 3 minutes to rehearse how the situation will reflect a positive or negative influence then each pair will be given 3 minutes to act out their situation to the rest of the groups.

Verbal Cues: none

Learning Experiences:
Introduction- We will talk about how positive and negative situations occur and how they make them feel.

Closure- The closure will take place within their journal writing.

Assessments:
After the situations have been acted out the students will be given a rubric and a set of questions to record in their journal. This assessment is completely relevant to fulfilling the objective because it allows students to see what positive and negative situations look like and the effects of words can have on people. As the students are watching each group perform they will see how situations become good and bad based on positive and negative influences.

Questions-
What role were you given to play?
What are 3 key points that you said during your role play?
What are three things you noticed about the people in the positive and negative situations?

Answer the following with a yes or a no. Yes No
You listed in your journal what role you were given to act out.
You wrote down 3 different things you said while role playing.
You wrote down 3 things you noticed about the positive situation.
You wrote down 3 things you noticed about the negative situation.


Follow up suggestions: Let them do it again with made up situations of their choice at a later date.

Cognitive- Students will understand how catching will contribute to effective game play.

Affective- Students will enjoy the game of Frisbee and doing well.

Psychomotor- Students will catch and throw consistently.

Safety Issues: Don’t throw the Frisbee at each other.

Student grouping for each activity: The students will be separated into their pre assigned squads.

Technical Description of the skills:
First Drill: The students will be separated into their squads. They will be in a circle and just pass to one another. Their goal is to pass it and catch it consistently. This will help them develop team work. After they have had time to pass I will add another squad to their group. Each squad will continue to pass to only their squad members. This will help them unite with their team and to work on their offensive skills.

Second drill: The students will be in lines and they will work with a partner to get to the other end of the field. They will have to pass it as a give and go without dropping the Frisbee. See diagram below.

Verbal Cues: Point, Follow through, and lean back and then forward.

Learning Experiences:
Introduction- We will go through our warm up and I will let squad 6 choose how to do the warm up. We will then go into the first drill and take as long as we need to make sure we can pass and catch consistently with our teammates.

Closure- Ask them what they liked and what was hard or easy about these drills.

Assessments: I will have to look at each squad and see who needs help catching or throwing. By now they should be able to pass the Frisbee with ease to their teammates. Or we may need more time to practice just catching and passing.

Follow up suggestions: If they are ready for game play then go over the rules with them.

Reference: none.

Diagram of learning environment and equipment set up:



Red Dots= Squad 1
Blue Dots= Squad 2
Orange Circle= Squad 1’s Frisbee
Pink Circle= Squad 2’s Frisbee
Black Lines= Throwing Path

Once the teams have had experience playing with their squad members I will add them together. They will be in a bigger circle but still need to pass to their own teammates. It is important to have different colored Frisbees so it will be easier to remember who is in their squad.



Purple Dots= Squad 3
Green Dots=Squad 4
Orange Circle= Frisbee
Solid Black Lines= Running paths
Slashed Black Lines= Throwing Paths

This is a give and go drill. The students will need to pass the Frisbee ahead of the other person and that person needs to run a head to catch the Frisbee. The need to do it with accuracy then speed.

I will perform it slow and as many times as needed to ensure every one gets it. We will learn about the warm up, work out and cool down. Step also requires progression as you cannot learn the second step until you have learned the first one.

Learning Experiences (introduction, drills)
1 First thing will be to introduce what the steps are used for and I will also make sure that the students know about their different levels available. We will listen to music and clap according to the beat so that I can know who may have a problem or we can clear it up before we try it on the steps so that no one gets embarrassed.

2 Next we will do the warm up off the bench so they know that a warm up is important for every activity we do. We will also have drink breaks scheduled so that they learn staying hydrated is important as well. We will move onto the workout and I will talk about progression as they learn it.

3 The cool down will then come next. We will slowly take it off the bench and finish our cool down on the floor. We will be able to tell that our heart rate has lowered.

I will face the class and make sure that everyone can hear me. I will also be using a wireless microphone to save my voice and also project it. I will have music in the background for variety and motivation. I will ask both a boy and a girl to be my helpers. If anyone has questions on how to do an exercise they will be mixed into the class for a closer demonstrator.


We will go through muscular strength exercises to isolate our gluts, hamstrings, quads, and calves. I will periodically ask for feedback to know how they are feeling. Also I will count repetitions to the music to ensure we move through the workout together. I will offer different variations of some of the exercise so my students have some options based on their level of muscular strength or ability. Our warm up will consist of dynamic stretching and some plyo metrics. Our cool down will consist of stretching both standing and on the floor.


Homework is derived from the third standard listed above, which is to participate in programs around. Weber State has an excellent group exercise program that is free to all students. My students will find a variety of classes to choose from to build muscular strength in their desired area.


Learning Experiences (introduction, drills)

1 We will start with a warm up by doing dynamic stretching and plyo metrics.


2 Next we will go into the work out which is isolating specific muscles to increase muscular strength.


3 Last we will do a cool down by stretching the used muscles and return to our resting heart rates.


Closure

Closure will consist of:

Homework: go to a group fitness class of your choice to work on muscular strength.

The next days class schedule.

Discussion about being able to work on muscular strength without any equipment and how isolation of muscles works to improve muscular strength in a desired area. It is different that the other components but just as important.


Grouping/Transition

We will be in one big group for the activity and each time I feel it is necessary I will switch the students in the front with students in the back so I know everyone has had a chance to be up front.


Verbal cues

Positive feedback is always important.

Cues will need to be given about proper body alignment and contraction of muscles.

I will use the term ladies and gents or people or kids, anything but guys.
