Option #2 Movement Activity/Game Research Project
Description Research Project:
For this assignment, Students will choose two games or activities that we performed throughout this unit in class. They will then be asked to write about why they chose those two games and how those games relate to our movement unit. They will then research one more game/activity that relates to our movement unit. This game/activity can be lead as warm-up game/activity in class, or students can submit a paper copy with instructions on how the game is played, and how it fits into our movement unit. This is an individual project.
Option #3 Your Choice
Description Research Project:
If students have another idea about how they can represent their knowledge from this unit, they can talk with me. I’m open to suggestions!
