Understanding By Design

INDIVIDUAL SPORTS

The Introduction to Individual Sports will provide the students opportunities to participate in activities that are easily adapted to different levels of ability and varying degrees of vitality and vigor. It will incorporate the use of games and sports, as well as, dance to assist the students in their achievement of the goals of education. This course will provide each student with opportunities to be successful in the development of fitness, the development of motor skills, and the acquisition of knowledge and appreciation through movement. The activities utilized in this course will include, but will not be limited to, tennis, badminton, track and field, dance, and fitness. As a part of this course, students will develop physical skills and acquire knowledge of and an appreciation for efficient and creative movement through participation in a sequential program of varied activities. While developing coordination, balance, dexterity, and body suppleness, individual activities encourage self-confidence and determination. Mastery of minimum skills may initiate lifelong interests in a particular activity. As a part of this course, students will be afforded the opportunity and encouraged to develop a greater knowledge base concerning contributions made by all ethnic groups and to view athletics and sports from other perspectives. Individual activities often enhance as well as test one’s abilities. Since they are likely to be of social value as well as physical value, they are highly adaptable to lifestyle applications from youth through adulthood.

Diverse Learners:
Accommodations will be made based on students’ individual needs and IEP recommendations.
Provide a blank graphic organizer for inclusion students to use – this website may be helpful: http://www.edhelper.com/teachers/graphic_organizers.htm
Beginning ELLs and inclusion students may make advertising posters instead of brochures. Can also do a video to demonstrate the technique of a proper golf swing. Also may need to give students extra time to touch and hold equipment.
GATE:
Create Power Point presentation to persuade city and state officials to provide more putting greens in the urban/suburban areas.
Cross Curricular:
Reading and Writing- Student will read to perform a task. Student will complete BCR writing activities, Technology- creating a videotape, DVD or CDROM.
Mathematics – Timeline, scoring
