EPHE Lesson Plan 2

Grade: 6 Teacher: Jenny and Kelsey No. Students: 25 Date: Feb 27, 2009

Equipment:

- 30 frisbees, 30 beanbags, 15 hoops, 15 spots/cones

Learning Intents (CAPS) – What learning do you expect from the conditions you have created?

- Students will continue to work on their aim, focusing on sending with appropriate power and accuracy.

-Students will work in small groups, in a structured game to

- Students will work with partners in a target game where they will determine how well their passing skills are improving by deciding the distance of the target.

Introductory Activity/Games: crows and cranes, beanbag toss.

Time / Teacher Activity / Student Activity
2 min / Explain activity, using demonstrations:
·  Crows And Cranes (warmup) / Listening quietly, asking pertinent questions for clarification
5 min / Playing the Game- Caller / Playing the game
3-5 min / Interactive, teacher-led discussion: Review of Frisbee golf, review of proper Frisbee technique.
Introduction to next activity:
·  Bean bag toss as teams: four teams of students work on accuracy as they toss beanbags into the hoop. The student who is able to get the closest in that round gets a point.
·  Possible extension: interaction between ‘teams’ to get highest overall accuracy. / Listening quietly, participating when asked, asking pertinent questions for clarification
5 min / Observing, helping individual students as necessary, encouraging. / Students working in groups to complete the beanbag toss challenge in their team.
2 min / Debrief – how do we apply this to frisbees? Safety considerations? / Participation in conversation.

We will then go outside, students break into partners, can set their own course, work clockwise around the field, keeping accuracy and appropriate force in mind. The teachers will work with individuals as necessary to develop appropriate skills.

Concept/Skill Development:

Sending and Aiming the Frisbee. Stop all the students and show them the proper movement of a pass. If a student is doing well, then use them as a model.

For aiming, set up targets (hoops) around the room, and have students travel through the ‘course’, or have students line up in a row and pass to each other.

Tactical Problem / On-the-ball skills / Off-the-ball movements
- Sending / - placement of the object with regards to the target
- power
- adjustment (backhand / forehand)
- proper weight transfer & release point
- proper stance (base)
- gaining consistency /
- proper stance while awaiting their chance to throw
- surveying where the target is and adjusting
- scoring and the different systems
- maintaining visual contact with the disc
- Aiming / - spin
- balance as we deliver the object
- adjustment (backhand / forehand)
- gaining consistency / - proper return to the stationary position
- obtaining visual contact with the target (if possible)
- while waiting to throw, being quiet and respectful of other competitors

-from the Dr. Hopper’s students’ website - Drill 2: Frisbee Golf

Closure:

Have students place hoops in one pile and frisbees in another. While stretching, discuss the skills they have learned: sending the Frisbee with appropriate force and direction, as well as possible environmental impacts on the play. Have students explain both skills.
