Unit Summary:

Teaching in the 21st century we as educators have a new world of technology at our fingertips. More than that, our students are
already fascinated with technology. Through the use of social media, text messaging, posting photographs, and sharing
accomplishments, students are willingly active in communicating with one another through various contexts. I have chosen to
take advantage of the interest’s adolescents already have in communicating through technology and have used this to help
expand their adolescent literacy abilities while completing Physical Education Model Content Standards at the 7th grade level.
According to standards 3.5 in 7th grade, students are expected to, “Assess periodically the attainment of, or progress toward,
personal physical fitness goals and make necessary adjustments to a personal physical fitness program” (2006). By providing
assignments throughout this lesson on our class webpage, students will be encouraged to interact with physical education
through technological means.

In a comprehensive data collection assignment, students will set physical goals for themselves over the course of the school year.
In our previous unit, we as a class have been conducting weekly timed mile runs and physical fitness exams where students have
monitored their mile times, resting heart rates, body weight, completed sit-ups and push-ups within one minute, and their
feelings at the end of each fitness exam. Students have record this data within their chosen fitness app (Nike Training Club, Strava,
or MyFitnessPal). This assignment has required students to not only practice literacy through the discipline of physical education,
but through mathematics, English language, and the sciences. Record keeping and number tracking require a disciplinary literacy
understanding in mathematics and statistics in order to graph data. To interpret the fluctuations in heart rate, weight, and
changes in physical ability students have needed a general understanding of disciplinary literacy in science. Lastly, to interpret
and present this data students needed to understand the use of English language disciplinary literacy. Without the integration of
several disciplines, students would not have been able to complete and make sense of the data they had previously recorded.

In this unit students will build upon their previous knowledge and progress toward an end goal: creating a one-week physical
fitness plan. Through a teacher lecture with guided notes students will be introduced to the five physical fitness components as
well as the acronym SMART Goals, which will be used throughout the entire lesson and will need to be applied to their final one-
week physical fitness plan. Through an online interactive webercise, students will use credible sources to assist them in filling out
an informative worksheet where they will apply what they have learned about the five physical fitness components, with this
information students will identify physical activities that are effective in improving each of the health-related physical fitness
components. In their final assignment students will accept responsibility for their individual improvement by developing
individual goals for each of the five components of health-related physical fitness. Throughout the lesson students will participate
in an online survey assessing their current fitness levels, take an in class Kahoot Quiz to test student knowledge, take an in class
anterior and posterior muscle assessment, and lastly use components from each of these assignments to develop their one-week
fitness plan.

Useful Websites:

YouTube: YouTube videos and clips were used throughout the lessons in this unit plan. Youtube can offer a variety of short, but
meaningful and useful clips on a variety of topics. Using videos is a fun and engaging way to introduce a new topic or lesson.

Open Clip Art: Open Clip Art was a useful site that allowed me to download and use clipart on several of my lessons. Using clip art
helps make worksheets more interesting and appealing. Using images may also help English Language Learners better identify
what is being asked of them from a worksheet.

Visual Dictionary Online: The Visual Dictionary Online provided me with downloadable anterior and posterior muscle diagrams
from which I was able to add my own lines to create a muscle labeling diagram.
