The TLCP outline for
this unit was created with the needs of the students in mind at my school.
A big concern is the fact that students are still becoming accustomed
with playing games and activities according to the Teaching Games for
Understanding (TGFU) model. The intermediate students still have a 'sport
specific' mentality. During this unit they were exposed to a variety of
games...Change takes time for all of us :)
BIG IDEA:
Gr.
7:
How do we safely and fairly devise and experiment with different strategies for
better results in game situations?
Gr.8: How do we encourage
others to participate safely and fairly in physical activities while
experimenting with different rules?
LEARNING
GOAL:
We are learning to
understand the components of striking and fielding activities and apply sending
and receiving skills and strategies while safely participating in games, while
including others.

safety guidelines to keep me and others safe.

others and make it enjoyable.
- We are learning to strike a ball and shift my weight as
I contact the ball and follow through in the intended direction to send it
between or over opposing players.
- We are learning to hit or kick in different ways,
varying the distance the object is sent, so that it wall be more difficult
for opponents to field and return the object.

You will participate in modified
games of Striking and Fielding. As you participate you will

of baseball and decide what strategies (offensively as the batter/base runner;
defensively as the fielder).
Communication/Thinking &
Inquiry:
· You
will complete an exit card to communicate your safe
participation how you participated safely during striking/fielding games.
· You
will also complete a rule change and a strategy that you could working on
connecting to the rule change you selected.
