Rationale
Students will learn how communication, use of space and interaction
are important in team sports. These are all very important concepts to
master in the game and in life. Communication is used in a game for
teammates to communicate plays, this helps them work together as a
team. Players need to pay attention and understand each others roles
so they can communicate through verbal and nonverbal cues. This will
also help in the real world which values a team player, someone who
works well with others and can communicate effectively. In life, students
will need to listen, understand and speak for effective communication.
Team sports will help in the development of collaboration skills, students
will need to work effectively with others, and part of this is encouraging
others to contribute. There is no I in team, all players will need to be
involved and encouragement among each other will help all feel
included. They will identify how to cooperatively interact with others.
They will identify what governing bodies do for team sports, what the
players roles are on a team, and individual training programs within a
team. Knowing how the system works can help them gain an
appreciation and respect for the game and those involved. This is part
of building a community, students should know how things are run so
they are prepared for any future roles they may play in their community.
Students will work on technique and rules for American football, hockey,
and lacrosse; which are all sports played in America. This will allow
students to learn new sports and be able to play them. They will be
aware that there are other sports out there that they can play and that
are popular in different parts of the world. They will also have theory
work where they will have the opportunity to analyze themselves
playing football and determine how well they demonstrated being part
of a team with use of space, interaction, and communication. This will
also help them give and receive meaningful feedback, which is a useful
skill throughout their life. There will also be formative game of jeopardy
of review to help prepare students for the written test. The activities
and assignments are all in place for growth of the students. There is
also a possibility of a football player coming in for a lesson to run the
students through a football practice. This will allow students the
opportunity to learn from a professional in the sport.
