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 dribbling a
soccer ball while keeping their head up;
- 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 dribble a soccer ball while using the proper form and technique;
- By the end of the lesson, students will :
o Identify how to properly dribble a soccer ball (form and technique);
o Demonstrate and apply the movement skills associated with dribbling;
o Apply principles in order to refine the movement (ability to dribble with
head up and go around objects/avoid other people);
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 dribbling a soccer ball;
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 soccer (for example, technique and
form of dribbling);
o Students will have a general understanding of this skill based on
what they already know about the game of soccer (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 dribbling a soccer ball;
o Apply different principles to refine dribbling (keeping head up and
going around people or objects);
- 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:
- The teacher will select 2 students who can help take out the soccer balls and
cones for the lesson;
Warm up:
- Students will begin stretching from head to toe, ensuring they are properly
prepared;
- Students will then take a soccer ball and perform a light jogging activity;
- Jog and Dribble: teacher blows whistle and students begin to jog and dribble
the ball with the inside of their foot in a clockwise direction for one lap around
the gym/field;
- On a second whistle, students switch to outside of foot and change direction
for one lap;
General Discussion / Modeling / Demonstration:
- The teacher will begin by explaining the technique of shooting and model this
form;
Consolidation/Recapitulation Process: How will I check for understanding?
- The teacher and students identify shooting criteria together:
o Knees are bent and always be on the balls on your feet;
o Place ball in front of you and remember that dribbling is simply the
ability to move the ball at a reasonable pace while keeping it close to
you and under control;
o Tap the ball with the inside of your foot at a comfortable speed;
o Follow the ball and tap again;
o Continue this tap and follow motion;
o Try using the other foot;
- The teacher can model this technique several times allowing the students to
properly see the expectations;
Activity 1: Simple Dribbling
Application: What will learners do to demonstrate their learning? (Moving from
guided, scaffolded practice, and gradual release of responsibility.)
-
This activity will allow students to practice and refine the skill on their own;
Each student will have a soccer ball and will practice the proper form of
dribbling;
Students will line up at one end of the gym/field;
At the sound of the whistle, they will dribble the ball with their right foot only,
to the other end and back;
They will then repeat with their left foot;
The goal is to practice bending the knees, tap and following the ball at a
comfortable speed;
Afterwards, they can practice with the inside of their foot, then with the
If a ball gets knocked out of the designated dribbling area, that student must
retrieve their ball and they are eliminated;
Once more players get eliminated, the teacher can make the playing area
smaller until only 1 player remains;
The player who is able to control their ball the longest and remains until the
end of the game wins;
Once students have finished, they must discuss with a partner what they
need to do in order to improve their dribbling technique;
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 dribbling?
o What modifications did you use to adjust your dribbling technique
and/or speed?
o How did you refine your dribbling technique while playing the game
keep the ball? Did you have to adjust your speed or keep your head
up?
o Did you vary your dribbling speed based on how many players
remained?
- 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 soccer balls 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;
student and /or parents who are not able to fully participate during class.
