Assessment:

In addition to the systematic observations that will assess motor differences, time
spent in physical activity; you should spend this session assessing:
a) psychomotor skills- dribbling a ball
- how comfortable did the students appear to be manipulating a
soccer ball with their feet?
- What COTS were present/absent?
b) 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?
