0092 Student Lesson Answer 2

The Question

  1. Choose one benchmark from Category A.  Describe a 30 minute sequence of learning experiences that is appropriate for students at the 3rd grade level and that will contribute to students' acquisition of the ability or abilities described in the benchmark you have chosen. Your description should be sufficiently detailed to show clearly how the sequence will contribute to the students' acquisition of the ability or abilities.

  2. Choose one benchmark from Category B. Explain how the sequence of learning experiences you described in Part I could be modified so that the sequence will contribute to students' acquisition of the abilities described in both benchmarks you have chosen.

  3. Identify one principle or concept from Motor Development, MotorLearning, Biomechanics, or Exercise Physiology.
    bullet

    Explain how you utilized or applied that principle or concept in designing the sequence of learning experiences you described in Part I or the modification described in Part II.

    bullet

    Show that your use of the principle or concept contributed to the students' acquisition of the abilities described in one or both of the benchmarks you selected.

Category A

  1. Students will be able to - demonstrate basic competence in physical activities selected from one of the following: locomotor skills, non-locomotor skills, manipulative skills, or specialized sport/game skills.

  2. Students will be able to - competently perform a variety of rhythmic activities and dances (folk, square, creative, and/or contemporary) in time to accompaniment.

Category B

  1. Students will be able to - evaluate and select ways to improve performance.

  2. Students will be able to - self-test personal fitness status as it relates to cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength/endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

  3. Students will be able to - enjoy the satisfaction of meeting and cooperating with others during physical activity.

The Answer

  1. 3rd grade level
    bulletprinciple of progression
    bulletCategory A - # 1 - manipulative skills
     
    Introductory Activity: Warm-Up 3-5 min
    Students will begin introductory activity by thinking of various sports that require throwing, they can pantomime or act like the various games that require throwing, e.g., basketball, baseball, etc.. They can get in their own space and demonstrate (possibly) pantomiming their ideas or games where throwing occurs.
     
    Fitness Activity 7-10 min
    arm circles, to warm up arms, stretches to warm up arms and legs, flexibility exercises, push-ups to work on upper body strength
     
    Lesson Focus 15-20 min
    The student's will work on activities that require throwing (but specific to a sport yet).
    The students will then work on refining throwing skills. There can be various stations where kids move from throwing (bigger) objects into a hula hoop, to throwing rings around a target, to throwing beach balls to one another.
     
    Closing Activity 7-10 min
    Students can play a game of teacher and class (in groups of 4-5) where teacher (a student) and students line up horizontally in front of her. The teacher throws the ball to each student, if one makes a bad throw, (where it obviously leads to the miss), the student will go to the end of the line. If the teacher misses, the next person up becomes the teacher.
     
    Closure
    Next lessons should move into throwing smaller items to refine the throwing technique. Then you can get into the sports skills of throwing.
     
  2. Students will be able to work with a partner or small group while participating in movement activities.

    When students are refining their throwing techniques there are many activities that can be incorporated to foster partnership, etc. Students can assume partner formation and practice with bean bags, throwing underhanded, overhanded, etc. Eventually, students can work on throwing with partners related to sports activities, e.g., basketball.
     

  3. Principle of Progression
     
    Students will progress from simple to complex movement.
    When designing the sequence of learning experiences the activities moved from simple (the kids are working w/out balls, getting an idea of throwing, they later move into individual work with throwing bigger items, then they finish up with a game that incorporates the throw in it.
    The sequential lessons will move onto move partner work with throwing and will make it's way into more complex throws in various sports.
