NAME: SUBJECT:Grade 3 (Elementary setting)
CERTIFICATION AREA: _________________________________________________________________
TEXAS ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS: Physically literate students can develop lifetime awareness, and physical education is designed to develop motor skills, knowledge, and behaviors. Students will engage in activities that develop basic levels of strength, endurance, and flexibility. The students will demonstrate fundamental movement patterns and the development of appropriate locomotor skills.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE(S): The student is expected to physically demonstrate competency in practicing correct technique like foot patterns and balance, demonstrating simple balancing, spin and roll at different level. The student is expected to demonstrate combination of skills like locomotor, manipulative and game skills in dynamic activities to achieve individual or team goals through physically demonstrating their competency in the skills.
ASSESSMENT/PERFORMANCE MEASURE: At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to demonstrate competency in fundamental movement patterns and developmentally appropriate locomotor skills. I will assess their ability to demonstrate the correct technique, correct jumping and landing and intermediate balancing to include equipment and sequencing of three skills with repetition. Student must also reflect the locomotor skills are required of them.
MATERIALS and SETTING
What materials do you need for this lesson? What is the setting? Are students in pairs, groups, stations, floor, library, science lab?

Setting: Play-field
Materials: skipping ropes, sponge balls, cushions and towels, bean bags, and stuffed animals.
Students will participate both in groups of up to five and in pairs.

KEY VOCABULARY and ACADEMIC LANGUAGE
What vocabulary terms must students know to understand the concept being taught?

Vocabulary terms: Play: engaging in an activity that brings enjoyment.
Jump: use energy to push oneself off the ground using the feet.
Exercise: use physical effort to maintain movement and action.
Sing: make sounds using a voice and a tune.
Win: take the first position or to do exceptionally well.
Lose: get defeated.
These terms will be used to describe their experiences on the field and how they maneuver through the different games.

FOCUS ACTIVITY/ANTICIPATORY SET
What activity will students engage in that will pique their interest about the upcoming lesson? Think of this like a preview for an upcoming movie – something that ignites curiosity

I will start the lesson by describing the importance of physical activity and the reinforcements that will be presented for the individuals who will do well. I will guide them to form working groups and allow them to ask questions or share their prior experiences in physical education activities.

CONNECTION TO PRIOR LEARNING OR REAL WORLD
This is what you say to students about what they have already learned and how it prepares them for what they are about to learn; review what they have learned to prepare them for the upcoming lesson.

“Students, since you have learnt about physical demonstration of competency in practicing foot techniques and balance, it is important to ensure that you practice more about movement patterns and development of appropriate motor skills”. The performance measures will demonstrate performance strategies through intermediate balancing variety of coordination skills, sequencing of three skills with repetition. You are expected to spin and roll with control at different levels.”

OBJECTIVE STATEMENT (be sure to include the performance measure)
This is what you say to students about what students will learn today, and how they will show they have learned the content (that is the performance measure)

“Students, today’s lesson will be based on rhythmic activities and combinations. Each student will demonstrate the ability to chase, flee and dodge in various games. You will also learn about health, physical activity, and fitness associated with lifestyle.”

PURPOSE OF LEARNING
Why do students need to learn this today? This should be written in what you will say to students and should include both why it is important to the content and why it is relevant in their lives.

“Students, it is significant to learn about rhythmic activities and combinations since they assist you in demonstrating competency in outdoor and recreational pursuits. It is practical to possess the competency to ensure correct techniques for the development of motor skills”.

INSTRUCTIONAL STEPS
Include:
Step by Step Instructions
Key Points
Directions to give

1 “Hello students, I will start by describing and explaining the various games to be played today. You will jump, sing, and exercise using your hands and feet. These games are based on rhythmic activities and will require each one of you to demonstrate the ability to chase, flee, and dodge, in order to win”
2 “Each student is expected to perform as I am I doing (visual demonstration) and pay attention so that you may not lose.”
3 “After that we will pursue an individualized education program (IEP), since you are all working on the same goals.”
4 “Afterwards, I will appoint small groups, for the ‘small groups instructional strategy,’ so that you can help each other in performing games such as sponge balling, tennis playing, running competitions, high jumping, among others.”

LITERACY STRATEGIES USED

Before starting vigorous activity, the students will be required to organize themselves, pose questions and seek answers, monitor and clarify challenging tasks. At the end, they will be required to summarize the activity.

STUDENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY

Students will use computers to check out rhythmic movements from the internet before practicing them. They will learn from animations and real-life characters. Technology will also be used in their grading and assessments through appropriate smart devices.

CLOSURE:
Review: How will you cement the learning that has taken place in this lesson?
Connect to future learning: How will what students learned today help them in upcoming lessons?

At the end of the exercise, students will summarize the different activities they have had and learned.
These questions will be asked:
Would you like to do this again?
Can you show me how to dodge in a chase-and-flee moment?
Would you like the class to do this again?
I will give them a brief overview of upcoming tasks and acknowledge that the milestone they met in this lesson will be needful in tomorrow’s activities.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS: Answer each of the following questions in the text box provided. Your answer should be written in complete sentences and be at least one and no more than three paragraphs per question.
1 Explain how the instructional strategies you chose for this lesson help your students learn the material. Consider the diverse learning needs in a typical classroom, including your students who are below grade level or English learners.
21907585090Explaining the different games and activities to be undertaken during the lesson will prepare the learners’ minds and motivate them to undertake the lesson. Students who are worried to undertake new challenges and those who are below grade level will benefit most from the anticipatory set. Demonstrating through actions will help the students to have a clear picture of the objective and assist them to comprehend better (Behzadnia et al., 2018). Allowing the students to undertake the different tasks and activities individually will allow them to grasp the skills faster and become more confident while at it. further, facilitating group work in some activities and key skills will boost momentum and enable the students to appreciate diversity and togetherness (Metzler, 2017).Explaining the different games and activities to be undertaken during the lesson will prepare the learners’ minds and motivate them to undertake the lesson.

2 Explain what criteria you will use to group students. Include things such as group size, learner characteristic, special needs of specific students, etc.
20955010795When grouping the students. I will make sure to not exceed five per group. I will ensure that the students are grouped according to their abilities and mastery of key physical activity skills. For instance, above grade level students will be grouped with at least two below average students. Students with special needs will be grouped together to ensure that their needs are met uniformly as a group.00When grouping the students. I will make sure to not exceed five per group.

3 Explain how this lesson plan supports what we know about how learning occurs and how learners develop, construct meaning, and acquire knowledge and skills
19050069850The lesson plan puts several factors that promote learning into consideration. The step-by-step instructional strategies makes it possible for learners to grasp content slowly and gradually while opening up their minds to new challenges (Bidzan-Bluma & Lipowska, 2018). Using group and individual focused learning makes it possible for the students to express their thoughts and feel comfortable while doing it (Pangrazi & Beighle, 2019). physical education and mastery of physical skills mostly requires visual learning. Therefore, demonstrating through actions will assist the students to capture the content more quickly and more easily.00The lesson plan puts several factors that promote learning into consideration.

4 How will you encourage persistence and a growth mindset throughout this lesson?
17145085725Motivation and positive reinforcement go a long way in helping the students to try their best and not give up no matter the circumstance. Therefore, to encourage persistence and a growth mindset, the students will be diligently motivated through positive affirmations, encouragement, and consistent support (Aubert et al., 2018). They will also be awarded gifts once they excel in the lesson’s objective, such as small souvenirs, positive remarks and compliments, and extra services such as tours and trips to other schools for benchmarking.0Motivation and positive reinforcement go a long way in helping the students to try their best and not give up no matter the circumstance.
