Psychomotor: M.MS.02.03 Students will demonstrate selected elements of the mature form of manipulative skills of roll, underhand throw, and
overhand throw in isolated settings.

Safety:
 Be aware and respect everyone’s personal space.
 Be aware of tripping hazards with the hula hoops.
 Make sure to throw the ball in a gentle manner.

Anticipatory Set/Launch: Ask the students if they know what an underhand and overhand throw. Also, have them explain the differences between
the two throws. Ask the students in which sports use overhand throws and which ones use underhand throws. Have a couple of the students
come up in front of the class to model and demonstrate the two types of throws. Have three students help demonstrate the game and then have
another group of four model the game one more time for the students. Remind the class of the rules while in the gym, and the exceptions of them.

Body of the Lesson/Main Lesson Activities/Tasks/Problems:

 Students will all sit on a line in the gym, the teacher will begin counting 1-4 for each of the students to make groups of four. Depending
on the amount of kids there may be groups larger or even smaller than four. Or if the students were behaving during the instructional
time, the students may try to pick their own groups.
 Once the children have their groups they will each grab a hula hoop for themselves. Their groups will then find a spot in the gym where
they will have plenty of space.
 Once they have found there spot the students will put all their hula hoops on the floor so they are touching. They will start throwing
underhand throws to their teammates. Each time the ball is caught, the person who caught the ball will slide their hula hoop back a tad.
And then they will pass the ball to the next team member. If one of the group members does not catch the ball then all the hoops will
start back with them all touching and the team will start over.
 Walk around and observe the children while they are participating in the activity. Give positive to all the children, even if they are
struggling, point out what they are doing and tell them that you like how they are participating and being engaged in the activity.
 If the students are successful with the kickball to throw have them try both larger and smaller balls to see if it becomes easier or difficult
within completing the activity.

Closure/Summarize/Next Steps (e.g., looking back and looking forward):

 Ask the students if they encountered any problems during this activity.
 Did the different size balls play different roles within the activity?
 What were some of the strategies that were used to help from dropping the ball. Did you say their name before you threw it, did you
throw it high and soft?

 How could you make this a little more difficult.

Evaluation Plan:
 Evaluation of the students will be done by observation of their ability to underhand throw.
o 1- Minimal ability
o 2- Some ability to underhand throw
o 3-Good underhand throw, needs slight improvement
o 4-Excellent underhand throw

Diversity: Consider the students in your classroom

 This activity could be adapted to each student depending on their abilities.
 Jack has Friedreich’s Ataxia where his muscles are deteriorating, so he can not stand in place for long periods of time. So to
accommodate his needs a wheel chair will be provided for him so he can sit while participating. If throwing underhand throws becomes
to much for the muscles in his arms then he can roll the ball to a group member.

Differentiation:
 To gear down the lesson have the children roll the balls, if they are having difficulty catching the balls thrown at them.
 To gear up the lesson have the students try to use the overhand motion to throw the ball rather than the underhand throw.
