Licensure Area: Physical Education k-2

Title and audience: Up Up Up. 8th grade

Objectives: Movement Forms/Motor Skills and Movement Patterns. A physically educated person demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities .

Materials:  volleyball court or other space large enough for all students to move safely, volleyball net(s) or rope(s) with 6”-8” streamers bisecting the court with the ability to raise and lower the net(s)/rope(s) easily, appropriate-sized basketball, playground ball, or foam ball for each student, appropriate height basketball hoops (variable heights preferred) TV or laptop to watch video clips of people shooting on and also to see still photos of people shooting a basketball.

Descriptions: 1. Students will watch videos and look at pictures of professionals doing the shooting skill before the lesson. 2. cldren line up on the endline of a volleyball court, facing the net. On a signal children safely perform a designated locomotor skill across the court, ducking under the net. The net is lowered after all children have moved to the opposite side of the court. This continues, gradually lowering the net until the net is low enough to force children to crawl under it to reach the opposite side. Children reaching the opposite side without touching the net score an imaginary point. 3.hildren each have an appropriate ball and adequate space. On the signal, children dribble from the endline of the court to the net/rope, “shoot” the ball over the net, crawl under the net to retrieve their ball, and continue dribbling to the opposite endline. If using a foam ball, students perform a locomotor movement in place of dribbling. When all children have made it to the opposite end line, raise the net(s)/rope(s) slightly. During this task it is important to keep enough space between children to avoid safety concerns due to interference with other childrens' balls. Feedback should be given to children using simplified cues, with focus on beginning shot in proper position and pushing the ball UP. 4.his task can be done with a partner. One child in each partner set dribbles to a designated basket (set at an appropriate height) and shoots the ball using proper technique practiced in the previous task. If the ball hits any part of the hoop, rim, net, and/or backboard, one point is scored. If the basket is made, two points are scored. Partners alternate turns, keeping track of points scored by both children. After children have had a few minutes to complete this task have children begin scoring from zero to see if they can beat their previous score.

Scaffolds: The teacher can be a scafold by demonstrating the skills. Video's and pictures that the teacher will use to show the students the correct skills are also scaffolds.

Technology to Support Authentic Instruction: In this class students are young so I decided to allow them to watch videos and look at photos of pro basketball players performing the skill. I would have videod the students and used feedback but because the students where young I dont feel this technique would have been affective because they might not have been able to see what they needed to do by looking at themselfs shooting the ball.
