What is Physical activity? Assessment (formative and summative)
Formative: walking around and monitoring student groups. Summative: the final presentation of the group Identify those students (individuals or groups) in your class who will need special attention and describe the level of support you plan on giving them. Refer back to the survey you did of your class. All students will be included in this lesson. I may need to be aware of how students are grouped though. Materials-what materials (books, handouts, etc) do you need for this lesson and do you have them?
Chart paper, groups created Do you need to set up your classroom in any special way for this lesson? If so, describe it.
Area where students can present, but also areas where students can work in groups, far enough away from another group
III. The Plan Time Parts The description of (script for) the lesson, wherein you describe teacher activities and student activities Motivation (Opening/ Introduction/ Engagement) I will do a little skit of many types of physical activities: running in place, jumping jacks, spin in a circle, dance, sit down, stand up, jump up and down, jump rope, push-up, curl up 3 min
Development Ask students what was I doing? Have them give me a list of about 10 different physical activities. Then The students will be broken up into groups of 3 or 4, and need to come up with their own list of physical activities. Then they will need to go up front an act out their activities in front of the whole class, as the class guesses what the students are doing.
Closure
Ask students where they already include physical activity in their life. Look for answers such as: recess, gym class, walking my dog, playing with my friends, or siblings, etc. Your reflection on the lesson including ideas for improvement for next time: Sources for Lesson 2:
