How does this lesson connect to the unit plan?
Learning different strategies of offense and defense in basketball will allow for students to be able to play the game of basketball at a more advanced level than they
did in elementary school

playing man to man defense. Which means that at
the beginning of our games you will match up to
someone similar skill level to you. We arent
playing a game today but I want us to be familiar

when you are on defense you want to stay as

I did not get to teach this lesson but one thing I struggle with is time. I know that this is the introduction to
offensive/defensive strategies and I know it will take more than one day to get through everything but its hard not to want to
cover all of it. My thought process was starting on basic offensive and defensive drills that gets them prepared for our game
play in the next upcoming section of our unit. I also wanted to provide resources for those who are visual learners and want
to look over rules and might not be familiar with them as some other students. I think showing people walk through the
defense and offense will be helpful and I will also ask volunteers to help. Overall this introduction on different strategies will
be rather basic but provide students with some basic knowledge and understanding of how the game works.
