Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs):

Psychomotor: SWBAT perform safe two-handed overhand passes by executing the
correct cues of the skill and incorporate the previously learned skill of bump passing.
SWBAT receive these passes and return the pass with correct power and accuracy.
Cognitive: SWBAT discuss the strategies they implemented as individuals to make a
pass for accuracy towards target. SWBAT explain the importance of each cue of the
skill. SWBAT determine which pass is necessary to use. SWBAT judge how much
power to use to return the pass with best accuracy.
Affective: SWBAT include positive attitudes and spatial, as well as body awareness
concepts in this lesson in order to effectively accomplish the task(s). Effective traits can
include: smiling, high-fives, positive dialogue, encouragement, positive feedback for
strategies for safe and correct bumping and setting.
Health-related: SWBAT recognize the physiological responses to exercise and will be
engaged in MVPA for at least 50% of the lesson time.
Instant Activity: Mountains and Valleys
Time: 1 minute
Have students spread out on each side of the court along a line. Instruct students that one
side is mountains and the other is valleys. The mountains will try to keep all the dome cones
sitting upright and the valleys will try to flip all the dome cones over to sit upside down.
After each minute and a half, have the students switch roles. After activity is over, have
students pick up equipment and send them off for water.

Time: 4 minutes.

Assessment:
In addition to the systematic observations that will assess motor differences, time
spent in physical activity; you should spend this session assessing the affective skills
of your students and cultural differences you may see emerge. Take notes on the
following and include in your reflection journal:
- What languages did you hear the students speak?
- Who did the students partner with if given a choice?
- During down time who did the students socialize with?
- Were the students able to work effectively and without conflict with their
partners/teams? If not, what factors seemed to be causing conflict?
- What evidence of teamwork/communication did you see? (e.g. high fives etc)
- Did the students request any activities/sports? If so, what were they?
- What role does Maria play? How do the students respond to her? Does their
behavior change when she is around?
- Did you learn anything about the students home life/background? If so, what?
