SIOP FINAL Lesson Plan

Name: Mia B., Meghan C., Kaylee E.

Theme: Knee Physical Therapy

Lesson Topics: Knee exercises, anatomy of the knee (Knee Rehilbiltation)

Lesson Objectives:

Language: Students will verbally and physically demonstrate 3 different types of knee

rehab.

Content:

● Students will be able to accurately label a diagram of the knee anatomy.

● Students will be able to apply concepts that were learned to create different exercises to

rehabilitate the knee.

Learning Strategies:

● Vocabulary Strategy: Vocabulary match-up cards; so everyone gets a card either with a

definition or vocabulary word. They will have to get up and move to find their match.

This is effective because it has the students interacting with the vocabulary in a different

way which will help deepen their understanding of the word and help to remember them

in the future.

● Think- Pair-Share: the students will have to think about injuries that may require PT and

then they will share with their tables. After that we will open up the discussion to the

whole class. This is effective for students because it has the students discussing with

others about what they thought about the question. It allows them to bounce ideas off of

eachother and fill in some of the gaps that they might not have thought of or forgot.
 ● Snowball fight: Students write what they know on a piece of paper and throw it in the

middle of the circle. Then students take turns picking up pieces of paper and share what

is written on the paper. This is effective for the student and for the teacher because it

allows the teacher to see what was learned and what might be a misconception with the

class. It is good for the students because it has them summarize everything that they

learned during the lesson.
