INTERDISCIPLINARY MATH LESSON PLAN
Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences
Manchester College
Teacher: Matthew Landrum Date: 11/4/2010 Time Period: 1:25-1:50 Students: 13 Grade/Developmental Level: 2-3/II Lesson Focus: Striking Teaching Style: Task
Talked to Stephani Griffith for confirmation of stations.
Academic Standard(s)
Standard 1. Motor Skills and Movement Patterns: Students demonstrate competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities.
Standard 2. Movement Concepts: Students demonstrate an understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities.
Standard 5. Responsible Personal and Social Behavior: Students exhibit responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity setting.
Performance Objectives
C: The students will know the appropriate time to swing the rackets, 100% of the time.
A: The students will share the equipment, all the time.
P: TSWBAT strike the object in hand, 4 out of 5 tries.
Equipment/Materials
13 rackets (short handled ones or something smaller than normal sized racket), 13 tennis balls, 5 of each (balloons, spongy balls, fuzzy balls), 3 hula hoops, and roll of tape, 7 pieces of paper, and 5 pencils
Skill Development
Instant Activity
When students come back from drinks have them come in and grab a racket and start hitting tennis ball in the air.
Fitness Activity
After about 1 minute of the hitting the ball in the air, have the students do 5 push-ups to get their attention to go ahead with class.
Introduction/Set Induction
Today we are going to be striking different “Tennis” balls. When we do this it will be at different stations. Knowing how to strike correctly can be used in sports like baseball, tennis, and badminton. (Bloom Application)
Introduce New Skill
Explanation/Demonstration
I will be showing the different ways to hold the racket. (backhand/forehand) Hold the racket like you are going to shake hands with it, have thumb up when doing so. Back hand is “back of hand up” and forehand is “palm up”.
Guided Practice Activity
TSW have a ball and racket in hand and will practice the different types of holding the racket and striking the ball using those different types of holds.
Group Activity
I will be demonstrating the stations for striking. (Gardner Body Kinesthetic/visual) In groups of 2 or 3 the students will add up the number of hits for each item that is provided to get the sum. First station will be striking a balloon in the air for a sum of hits, second will be striking a fuzzy ball for sum of hits, and third will be striking a ball in the air for a sum of hits.
Assessment (Form Attached)
Closure:
How do we tell if we are holding the racket correctly? What are the different ways of striking a ball with a racket? How can you use striking when you get older?
