I.

Title: Move & Freeze, Fitness Challenges, Movement Skills #7, and Change Sides Lesson
plan (Pangrazi & Beighle, 2013).
II. Environmental Analysis:
a. Students prior knowledge of activities: This is a compiled four-part lesson that
has components from previous lessons presented and earlier in the semester.
There is no additional time required to introduce any portion of the lesson and its
components.
b. Limiting Factors:
i. There are no more than 20 second graders in one class period.
ii. The children are organized via their home classroom.
iii.
Physical Education classes will be held indoors inside the main gym.
iv. No additional equipment is necessary.
c. Rationale for selection:
i. The introduction of Move & Freeze will encourage students to listen and
ii.
iii.

execute proper movements per instructors directions.

The Fitness Challenges will encourage mobility and spatial awareness.
Bean bags is a piece of equipment that can be used individually and/or a
partner without much movement required. The activity is designed to
promote eye & hand coordination. Movement skills will introduce the

iv.

differences of each movement, control, and speed too.

The game Change Sides will encourage mobility and spatial awareness.

III. Block Plan:

Monday
P.E. (30 minutes)

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday
P.E. (30 minutes)

IV. Lesson Plan:

a. Objective: By the end of the lesson students will be able to learn:
i.

Execution of variations for turning, twisting, curling, rocking, stretching,

relaxing, and tension. (Psychomotor)

ii.

Understand the differences of turning, twisting, curling, etc. (Cognitive)

iii.
The benefits of turning, twisting, curling, etc. (Affective)
b. Pretest: No pretest necessary, because Destiny and Austin have already been
assessed on the TGMD test and scored within the Superior range. Willie has high
function in upper extremities.
c. Equipment:
i. (Fitness Portion) Fitness cones and signs will be placed in a square
formation in middle of class.

ii. Music.
iii. (Lesson portion) Bean bags will be placed around the perimeter of the
classroom.
V. Introduction: Upon entrance of the gym, students will execute a loco motor movement.
Willie will be the exception and move in the same direction as the others in his wheelchair
throughout the gym.
a. Intro: Move & Freeze (p.8).
i.

Loco motor movements around class.

ii.

On teachers signal, all students will freeze in appropriate form

b. Fitness: Fitness Challenges (p. 9).

i.

Loco motor movement in clockwise direction.

ii.

On teachers signal, all students will execute one of the following:

1. Flexibility and Trunk Development Challenges
2. Upper Body Strength Challenges
3. Abdominal Development Challenges

iii.

Each challenge will be separated by 30 seconds.

c. Lesson: Movement skills #7 (twisting, turning, rocking, curling, tension,

stretching, and choice of skill [pp. 67-68]).
i.

Variations of each skill and concepts.

ii.

Implement the Bean bag, choice of teacher to improve various

movement skills.

d. Game: Change Sides (p.20).

i.

Class will be split in half and and each half will line up on opposing
sides of the room.

ii.

On signal, each half will move to the opposite side, stand at attention
facing the center.

VI. Modification:
a. Intro: No modifications other than all students must be aware of Willie at all
times.
b. Fitness: No modifications needed
c. Lesson: No modifications needed.

d. Game: All students who are in close proximity to Willie and his wheelchair, must
have a good buffer of space between them.
e. Modifications for Destiny and Austin: Only modifications that are necessary for
Destiny and Austin are repeat instructions or demonstrations if they need it.
VII. Modification Rationale:
a. Intro: No modifications, because Willie can control his own space and classmates
know to be aware of their spacing around Willie.
b. Fitness: During this portion, the fitness area may get crowded and Willie must
find his space before executing the exercises. No modifications for the exercises,
because they are torso and upper body challenges.
c. Lesson: No modifications are required, because Willie can execute many
movements from his chair. During the bean bag portion, he can do all the
catching and throwing from his chair efficiently.
d. Game: Any student close to Willie will need to create a buffer space from Willie
to avoid hard contact.
e. Destiny and Austin: Giving extra instructions or demonstrations provide a better
chance that they both understand the concepts and the objectives of what the P.E.
teacher is asking.
