Striking-Field TLCP: Intermediate

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.

Striking-Fielding TLCP  (Daily Learning Targets are Listed in the Middle)

DAILY LEARNING TARGETS (Grade 7):

1.  We are learning to follow and enforce proper safety guidelines to keep me and others safe.
2. We are learning to make changes to games to include others and make it enjoyable.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. We are learning to understand the basic game structures, rules, and guidelines of striking and fielding games.
6. We are learning to apply the skills and strategies in striking and fielding games.

Communication/Thinking & Inquiry:

·       You will complete an exit card to communicate your safe participation how you participated safely during striking/fielding games.
