teacher will model this for the

class. The teacher will then break
the stroke down to its basic
components as seen in the video at
the beginning of the class period.

3) Beginning with outstretching the

arms, drawing a particular focus on
the height of the handle as the
teacher applies body swing to the
stroke. Leaning forward, but not
slouching, the teacher will stress
that students must sit up as they
lean forward as to not strain their
back as they row.

4) Next, the teacher will begin to slide

forward on the machine by bending
their legs. Drawing the focus first
to extending their hands fully
beyond their knees before bending
their legs. When the teacher can
slide no further that is the position
known as “the catch”

5) Students will then be asked to row

on their own for a few minutes as
the teacher walks around. During
this time students will be rowing
slowly and together as a class in
order to simulate being in an actual
boat.

monitor to set up 1000 meters.

2) The teacher will be pacing

throughout the class in order to
specify for students how to set up
their machines. Once all of the
students have their machines ready,
the teacher will ask students to “Sit
at the finish” as was described
earlier in the class.

3) Students will then sit at the finish

and on the teacher’s call they will
begin to row. During the first 500m
of the piece, students will row on
their own. The final 500m, the
teacher will ask students to follow
the person next to them. This will
illustrate how difficult it is to stay
in time with one another whilst
rowing.

4) When students finish (they will not

finish at the same time) they will
cool down on the machines by
rowing continuously. They will go
slow with minimal pressure
(power) in order to cool down.
