    Cleveland

    Activity Observed: Underhand throwing mixed with locomotor skills

    Grade/Age Level: 2nd

    DIRECTIONS: You will observe many children performing many different kinds of skills. Select 8 (or as many
    as you can) different tasks and describe how the high skilled students and the low skilled students are
    performing.

    Task
    Higher Skilled
    1 Underhand throwing to Throwing the ball at a decent
    height, catching the ball, keeping
    themselves while
    their eye on the ball, staying in
    standing in a hula hoop

    their hula hoop. Throwing the ball


    straight above them.

    Lower Skilled
    Throwing the ball either too high
    in a direction far away from them,
    or only throwing the ball up a little
    bit so there is no challenge. Taking
    their eyes off the ball and not
    catching it. Not being able to stay
    in their hula hoops.
    Hands touch the ball when it
    comes down but then they lose
    control of it. Would step out of the
    hula hoop.

    2 Throwing the ball up,


    clapping, and then
    catching the ball

    Able to throw it up, clap at least


    one time and then still have
    coordination to catch the ball.
    Eyes stayed on the ball. Looked
    fluid.

    3 Skipping

    Continuous skipping. No
    hesitation and no stopping.

    Adds in a little hop in between the


    skip, or runs.

    4 Galloping

    Back foot touching front foot.


    Continuous.

    Walking or running.

    5 Hopping

    Bouncing/jumping forward with


    one foot on the ground, looking
    straight ahead,

    6 Leaping

    Hopping from one leg to the other.


    Continuous.

    Some students were skipping


    because they couldnt stay on one
    leg. Stopping because they cant
    stay balanced.
    They would do a few jumps then
    stop and then restart. Not putting
    full balance on one foot, just small
    bounces.
