● Briefly introduce myself to students
o “My name is Mr. Padron or you can call me Mr. P. I am a
student teacher at the University of Lethbridge. I came here
to Canada when I was 12 from the Philippines. I played
many sports growing up, like Football and Track and Field.
Now I play a lot of Basketball, Volleyball, and I’m helping
coach with the Junior Football Team. I also have other
hobbies, such as watching shows or anime. My favorite
ones right now are One Piece and Blue Lock. I’m looking
forward to getting to know all of you more!”
● Briefly introduce Australian Football
o Australian Football is played in an Oval Field. It is 180
meters long and 120 wide. There are 3 ways that you can
move the ball. Handball, Drop Kicking, and Bouncing the
ball. You can run with the ball, but you have to bounce the
ball every 16 yards or 10-12 steps. We will learn all 3 in
this lesson

● Bouncing
o Bouncing is essential for running with the ball.
o Hold the ball horizontally or flat with the laces facing the
sky. Hold the ball with two hands, have the dominant hand
on to the tip of the ball. You want the ball to nose dive and
land in an angle to ensure the ball comes back properly
o Progression: Start on your knees, then progress with
standing up
● Drop Kicking
o Kicking is the only way of scoring in the game. They have
to kick the ball in between the poles. There are 4 poles, 2
tall poles that are in the middle and 2 small poles that are
outside the tall poles. When you kick in between the two
tall poles, it is 6 points. If it goes in between a tall pole and
a small pole, it is worth 1 point. If they hit the pole, it is 1
point
o Get students to get in a flat line facing the poles
o Hold the ball with two hands, point the ball downwards
with the pointy end pointing down to the ground, ensure
that the laces are facing where they want the ball to go.

● Tell students that we will play a modified game the next class
Stage 4: Reflection
Day 1 of teaching went really well! All the students were engaged with activities and were having fun! I’m
creating a fun and supportive environment for everyone by making people become demonstrators and giving
the volunteers a clap to make them feel good! The classes seemed short and I didn’t get to show them the
banana kick, but I will next time
