PEP 3610

Peer Teaching With Assessment

Lesson Plan

1. Standard 1 – Objective 2, A) State and understand critical cues for movement skills

2. Activity:

The students will sit in a group while the teachers welcome the class. The teachers will then go on to explain and demonstrate the following activities. The students will be paired up and practice their bumping skills for volleyball. One student will toss the ball to their partner and the receiving partner will bump it back. Each student will receive and bump at least ten times. The students will then bump the volleyball back and forth for two to three minutes. Then the partners will be split up and put into 4 groups of five students. These groups will bump the ball around in their groups for a couple minutes. After the group bumping activity, the students will be given the assessment and asked to list the five cues in order. Then the students will play a modified game of volleyball. In this modified game only bumping will be allowed. The serve is done by tossing the ball over the net to start each volley. The students will play five on five bump volleyball for the next five to ten minutes. After the students are finished with the game, they will finish answering question number two on the the bump assessment. The students will have the remainder of class to finish their assessments. All assessments will be turned in before the students leave.

Five Volleyball Bumping Cues:

Objectives (Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor)

(1)Standard 3 objective 1c Assess personal fitness status regarding activity participation, energy expenditure, elements of physical fitness, and nutritional practices. Cognitive and psychomotor.

(2)Standard 3 objective 2c. List and evaluate activities that develop specific elements of physical fitness. Health – related fitness domain

(3) Standard 1 objective 2c. Maintain activity journals illustrating activity participation outside of school hours. Affective domain.

(4) Standard 2 objective 2a Review the elements of physical fitness. Cognitive domain.

Safety Issues The students not being honest on their assessments; therefore giving them unrealistic goals.

Grouping for each activity: Same pair they were in last time so they can give each other suggestions for goals they want to accomplish.

Technical Description:
The goal is to have each student self-assess his or her personal fitness and make recommendations for change. Students will be asked to identify areas for change and what activities they prefer to engage in. I will first lecture on what goals should be made in order to be successful. For example, only raising a couple lbs, or a 5 more push-ups since we are assessing again next month. This way they cannot get discouraged that they are not reaching their goals. I will explain the benefit of keeping a these goals and assessments in order to improve. This will be a teaching day and not very active, but learning how to properly begin to be active.

Learning Experiences (introduction, drills)
1 Appropriate goals

2 Examples of goals

3 having students help each other in partners for good goal making and to answer the other questions on their own.

4 lecture good ranges and healthy zones so they have an idea if they are average or not.

Grouping/Transition: Staying in pairs

Verbal cues:

Be honest
Set worthy goals
Be realistic

Closure: Turn assessments and goals back in so I can review them properly and make sure each student has done this correctly. Have the students answer questions of why this is so important and the benefits of goals.

Suggestions for follow-up
Marking the goals each week and if they were followed looking over their sheets daily

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.

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.

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:

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: none


Diagram of learning environment and equipment set up:



Blue= Students in line

Green= Quarterback

Orange= Defender

Purple= Receiver

Red= Football

Slashed Line= Throwing Path

After the pass has been completed the line will rotate. The first blue will become the green, green will become orange, orange will become purple, and purple will go to the back of the line.
