LESSON PLAN FORM

TIME SEQUENCE OF LESSON ORGANIZATION REFLECTIONS

Students are given time to
0-5 change. Once changed students
enter the gym and begin walking
warm up laps.
5-8 Students will line up in the gym
by alphabetical order for
attendance and to check if they
changed for participation.
Objectives of the day are gone
over at the white board in the
gym
8-10 Transition: Students are moved
outside in an orderly fashion
The activities will be set up
outside with instructions to each
game.
The students will be broken up
into groups by student choice
and set up at different
recreational games. It will be
the students responsibility to
read the rules and begin play.
The teacher will assist as
needed.
Transition
Every 10 minutes the groups
will rotate in a clockwise
manner. This will be signaled by
-Decided there was no real
need to change as long as
students had appropriate
footwear. This would allow
A Z for more activity time as time
at the end of class is cut short
SSSSSSSSSS due to it being last period
and the students need to pick
T up the games.
-Attendance took long
because students didnt get in
alphabetical order and moved
around a lot to talk with
friends. A good idea for next
time is to have them sit on
the bleachers.
-I didnt go to the board
because I wanted to ask
questions about the
objectives. This did not go
very well as students did not
pay attention to what I was
saying and I spent a lot of
time waiting for students to
stop talking. Next time I will
try sitting them down in front
of the white board.
-The set up outside worked
very well. All students were
safe at all times from the
other games and there was
easy transition between the
activities.
-Should rotate the students

ball towards the pallino in order
to;
1) Get their ball closer to
pallino
2) Move pallino closer to
ball
more often, some got bored
early and started to go off
task.
S S S S -Washer toss was a hard
activity to be successful as
the washers bounced easily
out of the boxes. Moving the
boxes closer would create
more chances to succeed. I
also placed the boxes in
S S S S proximity of the track
drainage grate and lost a
washer. Moving the game
closer to the middle of the
football field would of
avoided that. Students also
did not find this game
appealing and I can do a
better job of creating
competition between the
groups.
SSSS
-Bocce was a success. I
should of mentioned not to
bang the bocce balls together
as that is what the students
kept doing. This was also a
good game to start uneven
numbered teams because of
the nature of the game allows
for it while other games
modifications to the rules
had to be set in place.
-Can make the game more
competitive by introducing
strategy

time with skill cues on how
to throw a frisbee. This game
also became difficult when
the wind picked up I could of

strong cross wind. I also
SS placed the game further away
because I didnt want the
frisbee to hit students playing
a different game, this worked
well as there were throws
that were far off task but
other students were at a safe
distance. The rules became a
bit complicated and I can do
