5. Academic Language
(C5)
Academic language
represents the language
of the discipline that
students need to learn and
use to engage in the
content area in
meaningful ways.
There are 4 language
demands to consider as
you require students to
read, write, speak, listen,
demonstrate and perform.
Grade/Subject: Skill-Based Lifetime Activities/PE Date:
By the end of the unit, students will demonstrate competency in the striking and fielding activity
of kickball by participating and organizing their own kickball game.
What are the rules for kickball? What is your favorite part of kickball? How does a team win a
kickball game?
The central focus is to build upon student’s previous knowledge of what the elements of striking
and fielding activities are. Students will understand and demonstrate competency of striking and
fielding activities such as kickball by participating and organizing their own kickball game.
Students will organize their own kickball game by explaining appropriate rules and setting up
appropriate equipment. This lesson will serve as building block for future striking and fielding
games that will be communicated in future units.
I can identify the rules and equipment needed in a game of kickball. I can use appropriate
vocabulary throughout the game of kickball when it comes to explaining the rules.
Language Function (an active verb that students will use to demonstrate their learning in the
assessments; some examples are- explain, describe, predict, summarize, compare, evaluate, interpret,
justify):
Explain, demonstrate, describe
Vocabulary (words, phrases, and/or symbols that are used within disciplines):
Kickball, Striking and Fielding Games, Rules, Field, Bases, Pitching strip, Diamond, Foul and
foul lines, strike out, ball, offense and defense, walk, out, innings,tag, tag up, stealing, leadoff,
force out, bunting.
Discourse (Structures of written and oral language, how will they talk, write, and participate in
knowledge construction: discussions, reports, essays, multi-media presentations, performance):
Students will discuss as a class the rules and be able to present to the teacher the rules.
Syntax (The set of conventions for organizing symbols, words, and phrases together into structures, e.g.,
graphic organizers, formulas, charts, language rules, outlines, graphs, tables):
Word Wall
6. Targeted Language Language Function (How will you help them demonstrate the DO verb?)
Supports (C5) I will review what the rules and equipment needed for a game of kickball, and I will meet
The resources, individually with students as they work to see if they need any assistance. I will also provide
representations, and video tutorials of the demonstration of a game of kickball.

aligned to the TEKS,
and objectives. Summative:
Students will have an end of unit assessment to demonstrate their knowledge of vocabulary and
rules of kickball. They will demonstrate their competency by participating in a game of kickball.

Assessment of your language demands:

Formative:
Classroom discussion about rules and questions about a game of kickball.

Summative:
The participation in a game of kickball as class would be the summative assessment.
8. Hook (C7) Hook activity (make connections to prior learning)
Math Ball- Have students kick a kickball around and every time the ball lands in a student foot
they will be required to give one fact about kickball.
Closure (C7)
Closure Activity: (make connections to prior learning)
3-2-1
Students will be kicking a kickball back and forth. Once kickball has been kicked to student,
Student Assets (C7) student will be required to say 3 things they learned, 2 things they have questions about and 1
thing they want the teacher to know.

Personal assets: previous student knowledge of kickball.

Cultural assets: Cultural background students may have due to their cultural.
Community assets: Common backgrounds and knowledge students have due to their
community.
9. Body of Lesson/
Teaching Strategies and I DO – I will share a video of myself playing in a charity kickball tournament. I will then
Learning Task(s) explain the scenario and the actions that are taking place by implementing vocabulary
(C9) words.

Be sure to include:
How will students learn
and use academic WE DO – Students will find a partner and discuss previous knowledge of kickball and also
language? share views, rules, and vocabulary words.

Three higher order

thinking questions.
YOU DO – Students will work as a class to set up a field in order to play a game of
kickball and participate in the game itself.
Marzano Strategy

Differentiation-(GO TO page) (Tailoring instruction to meet individual needs; differentiating the

content, process, product, and/or learning environment):

o Second Language learners / Cultural Diversity: Use Tomlinson’s strategy of

flexible grouping to avoid labeling students readiness
o Gifted / advanced learners: Use Tomlinson’s strategy of Anchoring for students that have
completed their work.

Technology: -(GO TO page)

Use Kahoot to review kickball vocabulary words and rules.

Marzano Strategy - (GO TO page)

Use Marzano’s strategy of one question, one comment, and last word. I will provide feedback,
when students are discussing their one question, one comment, and last word while I walk
around the classroom.

Higher Order Thinking Questions (GO TO page)

1. What drinks are needed in order to stay hydrated during a game of kickball?
2. What are the most common questions about kickball?
3. How can playing kickball affect your health?
 Grouping / Partnering Technique: (Hattie)
Use Hattie’s strategy of allowing students to create teams to play kickball

Potential misconceptions and your plan to address it:

Students might confuse kickball rules with other striking and field games. I will include a
comparison of rules of kickball and other striking and field games.

10. Resources and

materials needed (C9) Laptop, Kahoot App, kickball, bases, pitching strip.

(E7) (How might you differentiate materials and resources for learners with various needs?)
Provide students with assistive technologies such as scooters, wheelchairs, visual timers and
walkers.

Management Strategies your students are:
(CBM5)
What procedures will you - Standing by the door before every class period to welcome my students.
employ to manage - Have the 2-whistle blow rule where students hear 2 whistles, they stop everything they
transitions, behavior, are doing and have all eyes on me.
passing out materials, - As a gym coach students need to dress out so I would have a rule of giving the girls 5
engagement, etc.?
minutes once the bell rang to start class to be able to dress out and be in the gym.
