Badminton

Lesson 1 Date: March 7, 2017

Grade 6
Class time: 40 minutes

GENERAL OUTCOMES
Learn basic racket sport skills such as grip, stance, and basic motions.
Demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving skills to modify games and achieve
activity outcomes

SPECIFIC OUTCOMES
Consistently and confidently perform manipulative skills by using elements of body and
space awareness, effort and relationship
Demonstrate strategies and tactics that coordinate effort with others; e.g., team, in order
to achieve a common activity goal in lead-up games

PROCESS OUTCOMES (FOR MATH SUBSTITUTE FOR OTHERS)

CROSS-CURRICULAR CONNECTIONS
Mathematics: estimating the measures of angles, for reference angles.

NUMERACY/LITERACY; COMPETENCIES
Literacy Competencies: Collaboration-The students will be working in partners and in
small groups, hitting the birdie back and forth with each other and in game like scenarios.
Communication- Within these groups communication must be used to succeed in these
group activities.
Numeracy Competencies: Problem solving- when the students are attempting to hit the
birdie into the hula-hoop working on accuracy. The problem solving would consist of
figuring out how you need to change the spot to get it into the hula-hoop.

KAGAN STRATEGIES/INSTRUCTIONAL INTELLIGENCES

Stand up, Hand up, Pair up

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES/LEARNING STYLES

 Kinesthetic: The students participating in the gym class.
Visual: The demonstrating of the activity gives the visual students an opportunity to
view what the gym class will consist of.
Audio: As the teacher explains the activities before the demonstrations, this targets
the audio learners in the class.

TEACHER ACTIVITIES STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Anticipatory Set (Hook)
Play a warm up game that will introduce
the main aspects of the outcomes in the
gym class but doing it in a way that the
students are not expecting.
Play badminton tag. Similar to toilet tag
except when you are tagged instead of
being a toilet, you stop in your badminton
ready position, and to be freed another
student must come and adjust your ready
position to a position where you would be
ready to hit the birdie. (lifted elbow)

Practice/Development
Walk around and monitor the student
activities, help ensure they have the proper
grips and ready position during the
badminton warm up.
Place a hula-hoop around the gym one on
each side of the badminton court
diagonally to where the students will be
standing.
Gather the students before the begin the
serving activity. To demonstrate what the
After the warm up game gather the students
together. They will stand up, walk around,
when told raise their hands, and then pair
up with the first person they make eye
contact with. (Stand up, Hand up, Pair up.)
Students will begin by practicing the
correct grip and a ready stance by hitting
the birdie back and forth with a partner.
The students will then split up into groups
of four and they will practice aiming for a
 activity the students will be doing. You and
three other students can demonstrate it by
using one of the courts previously set up.
Demonstrate aiming for a hula-hoop
diagonally to where youre standing.
Walk around and monitor the students
activity.
Gather the students after 10 minutes, and
gather the hula-hoops.
Explain the next activity of playing doubles
on half of the badminton court.
Ensure that the students know the
boundaries of the court.
Walk around monitoring the student
activity.
target and accuracy by attempting to hit the
birdies into the hula-hoops placed around
the gym in the badminton courts. To
increase activity and drive of students they
will keep track of how many they can get
into the hula-hoop continuously to
challenge their personal bests.
Play a short round of doubles in badminton
except on only half the court.

observing the students form, grip and
strategies throughout the different
activities.
Closure/Reflection Ask any questions if needed.
Gather the students again at the end of the
class, and ask them to give you:
- What were you good at?
- What did you struggle with?

[3 min]

MODIFICATIONS and EXTENSIONS

Modification: Use a larger hula-hoop for the students struggling with their aim.
Extensions: Move the hula-hoop around in the badminton to court to challenge their
serving skills, if the spot they choice is becoming easier for them. Another way to
challenge the students would be to set the nets up and still have them aim into the hula-
hoop on the other side.

EVALUATION and ASSESSMENT

At the end of class assess students understanding on each of the following: the
proper grip by getting them to explain the key points, a proper ready position, and
strategies used to correct the issues in the aiming portion.
During this portion, you will give the students the exit slip for the assessment.
EXIT SLIP: Name:

1) In what badminton shot do you raise your elbow to 90?

2) There are two types of serving allowed in badminton, what are they?

3) What strategies did you find helpful when you were attempting to hit the birdie into the hula-
hoop?

NOTES AND REVISIONS

- I would like to explain to the students for hand up, stand up, pair up that
tailgating and drive-bys are not allowed to ensure that they are with
partners they are not normally with.
