Expectations • A unit with subject matter and behaviour outcomes for 10 x 1hr lessons, NOT 10 LESSON PLANS • Choose an activity from list
Requirements • Philosophical statementHow you believe your unit can contribute to an active lifestyle aim. • What is teaching?What is learning? • What assumptions are in your understanding of these two terms?
How can the way you understand teaching maximize student learning?
Outcomes • Intents to tasks you create. • Tasks will lead to CAPS objectives • Assumed entry characteristics (Experience, culture, age)
Diversity Issues - How are they different? • Gender ratio • Ability range • Cultural groups UNIQUE • Children with Special Educational needs How will diversity add to your unit?
After you have an outline unit then… • Exit outcomes?? - Skill and behaviour • Unit objectives?? – What are students suppose to learn (CAPS)?
Sequence of major events Simple to more complex • Key games/activities aim for in unit • Tournament days • Performance days • Assessment days • Field trips • Task cards, stations
Content analysis • What content will you teach?Subject-matter (motor skills needed)Conceptual understandingPersonal/social behaviour • What procedures and routines will happen during your unit? (often connect to personal/social curriculum organizer) • Link to resources PE452 beginning units PE352 ten-lesson units

Conceptual understanding • PURPOSE to learning • What progressively gives meaning to the skills you use in gradually more challenging environments. • Tennis? • Gymnastics? • Track and Field?
Phases of a skill (PE 341) • Preparatory phase • Wind-up phase (set-up) • Force producing phase • Follow-through and/or recovery phase (Carr, 1997)
Where to start? • Sport • Age • Games/Activities • Possible Sequence for unit • Task progression, concepts and skill cues • Outcomes – teaching styles?
Assessment ideas • What results do you expect? • How will you provide feedback to the learners regarding their progress? Formal – formative and summative Informal – ongoing (NB - Will develop in class after reading break)
Where do teaching styles fit into your plan? • Student interest • Practice • Feedback • Learning theories • Student responsibility • Active lifestyle concepts
