(Chosen by Associate Teacher)

B.

Use your voice/tone to control group. A louder voice/excited tone or whisper

will grab students attention. Your voice is a great tool in the classroom. Do
you want students to get excited, know you are serious, and listen attentively
when you whisper.
(Your personal choice of skill development)
Use my voice and different tones, seeing how the students react.
I will make a fuss of students who are showing positive behaviour and getting
the task done.
Use management strategies to stop students from talking over each other, e.g.
clapping or hand movements.

C.

Consolidation, practice, extension

30 mins

1. After having a short discussion of procedural writing to refresh students

ideas of the topic, take the students outside to play two games (bullseye
and bean bag scramble). Show YouTube clips before going outside to play
the games.
2. Have students sit down on the side of the basketball courts, explain they
must pay close attention how to play the games so they will be able to
write up a procedure on one of them at the end.
3. Explain Bean Bag Scramble.
- Place 5 hula hoops on the basketball court, place 4 making a square
and have one in the middle holding all the bean bags.
- Explain there will be 4 groups and on GO one person from each group
will run out to the middle and collect one bean bag at a time.
- Once the bean bag is back and placed in their teams hula hoop, the
next person in the group will run and collect another.
- This continues until no bean bags are left in the middle.
- Students will count the total amount of bean bags they have, the team
with the most bean bags in their hula hoop wins.
4. Get one team to come out the front to demonstrate before they play.
5. Then explain Bullseye.
- Split the gym or playing area into two halves.
- Create two teams. Each team is on their own half.
- Each team is split into two along both side lines, with 3 cones between
them. On the 3 cones, 3 volleyballs are balanced as targets.
- Give all players a soft ball.
- On the signal, players attempt to throw the soft balls back-and-forth at their
volleyballs to knock them off of the cones.
- The team that knocks over more volleyballs wins.

6. Once both games have been played, students will come back inside and
write up one of the games as a procedure.
7. Draw students attention to the proforma, reminding them how it should be
correctly set out.
