2. Expectation(s)
Expectation(s) (Directly from the Ontario Curriculum):
- Demonstrate the development of movement skills in a variety of physical
activities(e.g., performing such skills as on overhead serve in volleyball, a
parallel turn in down-hill skiing, or a j-stroke in canoeing);
- Apply movement principles to refine their movement skills (e.g. using all of
the joints that can be effectively used to produce maximum force, as in an
overhead clear in badminton or a slapshot in hockey);
Learning Skills:
- Students will learn and demonstrate the proper steps/technique of shooting
a basketball ;
- Physical skills as well as knowledge and understanding will be applied;
3. Content
What do I want the learners to know and/or be able to do?
Today learners will:
- Learn to shoot a basketball while using the proper form and technique;
- By the end of the lesson, students will :
o Identify how to properly hold and shoot a basketball (form and
technique);
o Demonstrate and apply the movement skills associated with shooting a
ball;
o Apply principles in order to refine the movement (ability to shoot from
different sports on the court, hitting a target);
4. Assessment (collect data) / Evaluation (interpret data)
(Recording Devices (where applicable): anecdotal record, checklist, rating scale,
rubric)
Based on the application, how will I know students have learned what I
intended?
- This lesson is intended as an introduction type lesson;
During the activities, the teacher will get a general understanding of what
students already know in reference to this movement skill ;
Evaluation will be based on observations and discussions throughout the
lesson;
The teacher will be able to identify areas that need to be further explored
throughout the unit;
During the lesson, the teacher will observe as students identify and
demonstrate the proper technique of shooting a basketball;
5. Learning Context
A. The learners
What prior experiences, knowledge and skills do the learners bring with
them to this learning experience?
o Learners will identify vocabulary and technique they have already
seen/practiced in the game of basketball (for example, technique
and form of shooting);
o Students will have a general understanding of this skill based on
what they already know about the game of basketball (proper
technique and positioning of body parts);
o This will allow the teacher to get an understanding of what students
already know and where they need to go in their learning
experience;
o Students will participate in open discussions and practice
throughout the entire lesson, allowing them to be engaged in their
learning and discuss/demonstrate their prior knowledge;
o Students may reference personal experiences and stories they have
encountered and/or practiced;
6. Teaching/Learning Strategies
INTRODUCTION (~10 15 minutes)
- The teacher must always take attendance at the beginning of class;
- The teacher will ensure all students are properly dressed and in uniform
(checking that shoe laces are tied, piercings are covered, jewellery is
removed, etc.,) to ensure safety of all students;
- The teacher will then present todays expectations:
o Demonstrate the development of movement skills in a variety of
physical activities(e.g., performing such skills as on overhead serve in
volleyball, a parallel turn in down-hill skiing, or a j-stroke in canoeing);
o Apply movement principles to refine their movement skills (e.g. using
all of the joints that can be effectively used to produce maximum force,
as in an overhead clear in badminton or a slapshot in hockey);
- The teacher and students will then write the success criteria together (in a
language students can understand) in order for students to be aware of what
they will be learning today;
- For example, success criteria for these expectations may be:
o Demonstrate the proper form and technique of shooting a basketball;
o Apply different principles to refine shooting (varying positioning on the
court and hitting the target);
- Students are now aware of the learning expectations for the lesson and the
teacher can begin the lesson;
- Success criteria will be posted in gymnasium for students to reference during
the lesson;
MIDDLE (~50 minutes)
Set up / Organization:
Warm
-
The teacher will select 2 students who can help take out the basketballs for
the lesson;
No other set up is required today;
No students will be allowed to touch the basketball until the warm up is over
to ensure the safety of all students;
up:
Students will run around the basketball court 5 times;
They will side shuffle in a defensive position across the court 5 times;
Students will then begin stretching from head to toe, ensuring they are
properly prepared;
Students will each take a basketball and perform ball handling activities, by
copying the teacher;
This includes on place skills to help students be aware and comfortable
holding a basketball (small touches between their hands, circling the ball
around their heads, waist, etc...);
This activity will allow students to practice and refine the skill on their own;
Each student will have a basketball and will practice the proper form up
against a wall;
The goal is to practice bending the knees, extending the arm and following
through and in one movement form;
The teacher can ask students to stand at a specific line and practice shooting
the ball up against the wall;
Student must make sure they have enough space to ensure safety;
Students will practice each step of the movement, shooting the ball in a
gentle controlled upwards arc to a designated square on the wall;
The ball is caught on return from the wall;
Students will repeat this drill while teacher circulates and helps students to
refine techniques;
The teacher also models during this time to allow students to compare and
visualize the proper form of shooting the ball;
Cool down:
- Students will participate in a light jog around the gymnasium (5 times
running, then 3 times walking);
- Students will stretch out muscles used during the lesson;
- It is important that all students stretch/cool down in order to allow the
heartrate to return to normal;
CONCLUSION (~10 minutes)
How will I conclude the lesson?
- Students will gather back around the teacher in order to discuss the learning
objectives set at the beginning of class;
- The teacher may ask students the following questions:
o How do you feel now that you have practiced shooting?
o What modifications did you use to adjust your shooting technique?
o How did you refine your shooting technique while playing the game of
21? Did you have to adjust certain positioning aspects, such as placing
feet towards the target?
o Did you vary your shooting force depending on where you were on the
court/how far you were from the basket?
- This is an open discussion where teacher and students can share thoughts
about the lesson and where they think they need to go in the next lesson;
- Final questions and thoughts are openly discussed;
- The teacher will use observations and discussions to plan following lessons
for the unit;
Clean up:
- Students who helped take out the basketballs will be asked to do the clean
up;
- It is important to note that these students must always rotate as all students
should get a turn to set up/clean up;
7. My Reflections on the Lesson: What do I need to do to become more
effective as a teacher in supporting student learning?
- I believe it is very important for the teacher to always be guiding the
students throughout conversations, discussions and exploration phases;
- The teacher must always be actively engaged and encouraging students to
do the same;
- The teacher must also be open to different ideas and demonstrate techniques
several times during the lesson;
- It is important for the teacher to be prepared;
o Prepare the activities, prepare posters and visual aids that will be used;
o Prepare notes and photocopies as well as extra information for
students who need extra support (visual aids, typed notes of the
specific techniques);
Teacher must also be well organized in order to set a good example for
the students;
Throughout the lesson, the teacher should also note what the students
already know in order the plan the following lessons for the unit;
o
