correctly when prompted by the teacher during discussions. (S2.E1.4c.; MACF 2.2) (Taught:
All, Assessed: miniclosures + closures)

(A): Exhibit personal enjoyment by ranking their enjoyment of participating in volleying, dance
and dribbling by answering the assessment during the closure. (S5.E2.4; MACF 2.7) (Taught:
All, Assessed: Closure.)

Check each objective: Is it specific? Is it achievable? Is it developmentally appropriate?

TEACHER PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES - During the lesson the teacher will:

1. Give at least 3 specific positive feedback and 3 corrective feedback statements.

2. Demo for all activity.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the
students in this class?
Stress the importance of safety and spacial awareness, especially when students are moving
around with other students around them; students will be vulnerable to keep their heads down
so encourage them to keep their heads up while traveling and dribbling.
Keep an eye on Jackson, seems to be aggressive with other students in class.

while dribbling a ball under control while trying
to stay away from the taggers. Both taggers and
non-taggers will be dribbling. If the tagger tags

ball above their head to show everyone that
they're frozen and need help getting unfrozen. A
30 sec non-tagger must come over and high five a
frozen dribbler to become unfrozen.

Demo: Teachers will ask a student to

demonstrate for the class

Activity 1: Spell Craze

10 min (teaching style - practice)
 Students will be in groups of 3. There will be
different posters with different words taped on
the boundary walls. Students will stand in a
circle with their groups standing still, the teacher
will call out a word that is posted somewhere on
the wall. When the word is called out, for
example: Journey the students of each group
will go around the court and look for the poster
with the word Journey on it. When they find it
they will take it down and bring it back to their
group circle. Each group only needs 1 poster of
each word. If 2 members of the same group
bring back the same word, one of them must
bring it back to the middle so the other groups
can get it. Students will return to their group
circle when completed and wait for the next
word to be called.
Extension down: Students may have to walk or
move at a slow pace in order to control the ball
Extension Up: Encourage students to try using
their non-dominant hand if they are doing really
well.

CFU:
The teacher will ask the students to repeat the
rules of the activity and what to do when they
30 sec find a word.

Activity 3: Dribble Relay

(teaching style - practice)

6 min The students will be in teams of 2-3

students. Each team will have 1 ball. The
students will be lined in on the baseline, one
teammate behind each other. The teacher
will give a dribbling command, like speed
dribble, and the 1st partner will have to
dribble to the middle of the court and back,
hand the ball of to their partner, and their
partner will then have to do the same thing.
The teacher is looking for quality of the
dribbling, not how fast the students can get it
done. If there are 2 people in the group, the
group will decide 1 of the people to go twice
for that round to even out for the groups of 3.
Extension up: Students can try moving at a
faster pace or using their non-dominant hand

dominant hand dribble
Non-dominant hand dribble
Walk backwards dribble
etc.
