Lesson Plan #7 Title: Stations
Performance Objective: Using teacher instruction, past knowledge and YouTube videos,
students will combine pathways, levels and different movements, being able to identify all 3
levels, all 3 pathways and preforming 5 of 7 movements successfully.
Resources or Materials Needed: Cones, YouTube, Pandora, GoNoodle, Pool Noodles, 9 ft.
crawl through tunnel, gym mats, hurdles, hula hoops
Time: 45 minutes
Step 1: Pre-Instructional Activities: Students will enter the gym and quickly review the lessons the class has done previously. The teacher will ask what was learned and the students will talk about locomotor movements, pathways and levels. The class will talk about why all these things are different and how they can combine them to successfully move. Students will identify how they are able to use these concepts outside of P.E. as well as in P.E. The students will be instructed that Pandora music is going to be the start and stop signal. The teacher will have control of starting and stopping the music with a computer that has Pandora running on it. The teacher will access Pandora using the link above, it should connect to a Kidz Bop music station. Using this station doesn’t need a log in, it is on the homepage of Pandora and should be accessible right away using https://www.pandora.com/station. The teacher will discuss with the students how there will be a YouTube video available upon request on the Promethean board to help out with the proper execution and for of the movements they are working on for the day. The teacher won’t have it playing continuously but if students would like to reference it for help on a specific movement it will be available. It is a video playlist with 6 of the 7 movements on there, the teacher will use https://www.youtube.com/watchv=CxrvysC_zkY&list=PL26Hu4wbGD8VLpD42Ahbi3tIWJGHc8rjm&index=2
Step 2: Content Presentation: Today the teacher is going to be describing the stations students will be moving through. There will be 6 different stations that students will rotate through. The teacher will let students know that they are expected to do their job when at each station and to safely participate and stay at their assigned station. The teacher will describe each station to the students and have a short demonstration at each station so that the students know what to do. Students will be at each station for 5 minutes before they rotate. Stations will be listed below:
Station #1: Scarf movement: Students will be able to come to this station and pick up a juggling scarf and they are able to choose any movement they would like and hold the scarf at any level they would like. There will be a designated area they are able to move in, it will be identified with cones so the students don’t leave the boundary.
Station #2: Puddle Jumping: When students get to this station they will work on jumping in and out of hula hoops using 2 feet. Leaving the floor with 2 feet and landing safely with 2 feet. There will be cones that represent the boundary with hula hoops inside of this boundary.
Station #3: Bean bag toss: Students will be focusing on levels at this station. They will have a bean bag inside of a boundary represented by cones and toss the bean bag in different levels. They’ll work on tossing it in one level and trying to catch it in another level. The class will discuss which levels were easiest and hardest to throw and catch in at the end of class.
Station #4: Rolling around: This station will mostly focus on levels, students will roll balls back and forth to a partner inside a boundary represented by cones. They need to keep the balls inside the boundary. They are focusing on keeping the ball at a low level.
Station #5: Target Practice: Students will have a bean bag and a few hula hoops will be scattered inside a boundary represented by cones. The hula hoops represent the targets they’ll be tossing at. This station will focus on levels and movements. After they toss their bean bag they will choose a movement to do in order to retrieve it. The movement needs to change every time. Students will experiment with tossing the bean bag at different levels during this time. The class will discuss which level was the best to toss in at the end of class.
Station #6: Obstacle course: At this station there will be a variety of obstacles set up for students to navigate through. It will include the 9 ft. crawl through tunnel, hurdles and gym mats listed in the material above. They will need to jump hurdles, crawl through tunnels, move side to side through obstacles as well. At the end of class; the discussion will focus on how, when and why they had to change levels, if they had to change pathways, and which movements allowed for the most success to get through the course.
Students will be reminded that Pandora music will be the start and stop signal.
Step 3: Learner Participation: Students will be divided up evenly and rotate through each station. They will start when the music starts and stop and rotate when the music stops. At conclusion of class, the teacher will bring students over to watch a GoNoodle video to cool down and have a meaningful discussion. The teacher will use https://family.gonoodle.com/activities/melting. The class will discuss how they used different levels during the course of the day and which ones helped them be most successful. The class will also talk about the different movements and pathways they used while participating at the stations. Students will make connections with the things they did at the stations with things they do outside of P.E. and how these things can help them successfully and comfortably move outside of P.E.
Step 4: Assessment: During the station time the teacher will also be pulling students to the side and assess them. The teacher will perform a locomotor movement and see if they can identify each one, the teacher will also show each pathway and level to see if the student can verbally describe them. The teacher will record this data in an iPad to track throughout the year. Each assessment takes about 1-2 minutes, after the assessments the teacher is available to assess students during the stations to check the physical aspect of movements, pathways and levels. Students will also do a self-assessment before lining up to see how comfortable they are with everything the class covered.
Step 5: Follow-Through Activities: The class will use all of these concepts throughout the year. They will constantly be practicing all of these concepts and can be incorporated into a variety of activities as the class moves through the school year.
