Lesson Plan
Name: Marci Barker
Activity: Muscular Strength
Week/ Day of Unit: Nov. 11, 2009
Skill(s): isolating muscles, following directions, understand how to exercise without equipment.
Grade Level: College Students
# of students: 18 – 20
Equipment (what and how much): Microphone, music, and possibly mats.
Link to
Standard 2, Obj. 2d. Explain the concepts related to muscular strength, e.g., isotonic, isometric, and isokinetic exercises, the over load principle, and the work/rest ratio.
Standard 5, Obj. 3b. Work independently and on task with a partner and in small or large group activities.
Standard 6 Obj. 3d. Participate in programs and facilities in the community that foster activity choice and self expression.
Objectives (Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor)
(1)Cognitive- Students will understand how to isolate a muscle or muscle group.
(2)Affective- Students will feel a personal achievement while working on their own but with others in a large group.
(3)Psychomotor- Students will know the difference between a gross motor exercise and isolating a specific muscle and then demonstrate it.
Safety Issues: Students will need to be aware of proper body alignment and unsafe stretches. Also students need to respect that everyone is at their own level.
Grouping for each activity: Everyone will be in one large group. They will be evenly spaced and be able to hear their instructors voice and be able to see as well. Everyone will be facing the front of the classroom.
Technical Description: As a class we will go through a warm up, work out, and cool down. We will learn how to isolate specific muscles to build muscular strength in our legs and behind. 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.
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.
