Student Performance Objectives (SPO): Task/Activity #
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
(P)- Demonstrate successful skill cues when throwing and catching in football during the lesson
when participating in the activities, that can be used in future life experiences. (National #
S1.H2.L1; MA CF: 2.17)(Activity:1,2)
(C)- Identify & differentiate proper techniques of throwing and catching after observing other
classmates or practicing the activity themselves during the closure when asked by the teacher.
(National # S2.H4.L1; MA CF:2.24)(Activity:1,2)
(A)- Apply positive self-expression & enjoyment when partaking in all throwing and catching
activities & clearly show appropriate behavior when working with a group and in your team
during the activities. (National #:S5.H3.L1; MA CF: 2.26) (Activity:1,2,3)
Check each objective – is it specific? Is it achievable? Is it developmentally appropriate?
Teacher Performance Objectives – During the lesson the teacher will:
1. Challenge the students by checking for understanding during and after the activity.
2. Demonstrate affective teaching behaviors by providing two motivational objectives
during the lesson and at the closure.
3. Provide three different positive specific feedback statements to the students.
4. Explain safety & rules of football
5. Whistle when needed to gather, break, or address the class.
Special Considerations – What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the students
in this class?
Be sure to be aware of the bleachers and surroundings so students remain safe. Be aware that in
the gym, the bleachers might be out so make sure the students not run into the bleachers so they
do not get hurt. Do not run into the volleyball poles that will be in the corner of the gym. No
playing defense when working on throwing and catching in football on day 1. Make sure that the
receiver is looking at you before you throw the ball and keep your eyes up at all times.

Time: Sequence of Lesson Organization Reflection
10:00 Opening:
 Changing in the Locker Rooms
 Attendance when students go to their
spots issued to them on the floor.
Good morning, welcome to my class!
 Student leaders will be leading
different dynamic and static stretches -
Students get to a spot and begin warm
up: Toe touches, side twists, lunges,
arm pull. Quick jog laps around the
four big orange cones (4x).
 Have students do jumping jacks (10x),
push ups (10x) and sit ups (20x).
 “Who can tell me when teamwork can
be used in life? What sports in life do
you aim when releasing a ball? Today
in class we are going to be playing
football.

3:00 Informing
Meeting place: This is where we are going to
meet for the whole semester after every warm
up. Point out the 4 cones, stress the importance
of personal space and SAFETY!!
Signals: Whistle to gather, break, and stop the
class or say 3,2,1 Freeze and the start signal
will be ready, go.

Lesson purpose: Understand the importance of

learning to work together in a group and
passing the ball to each other and catching it
so you can score in football is what I will be
teaching.
Steps: State the skill cues of throwing and
catching a football which has been discussed
in previous classes.
Skill Cues:
Passing: Fingers on laces, Step with
opposition, bring ball back to ear, Follow
through after release point (Buckle your
seatbelt)

Catching: Make a window with your hand,

absorb the throw, keep an eye on the ball
 Checking for Understanding - Ask the students
what the focus is for the activity? Show video
of the students playing catch with a football.
Activity:
Activity 1: Warm Up throwing in small groups
Activity 2: Route Running and catching
Activity 3: Tic-Tac-Toe Football
Activity 4: Game play
Today in class, we will be learning a few
:30 different important factors that occur when
playing football. In this activity the students
will be using the skill cues in throwing and
catching that are used when playing football.
2:00 The lesson will be taught through a command
style, since I will be telling the students what
they will be doing during the lesson. Students
will provide feedback for me to reflect on my
lesson. For each objective, the students are
getting appropriate & adequate O.T.R.

Transition: Same as the instant activity

before.

Practice:
Get loose by throwing the footballs so you get
warmed up
Safety: Be aware of the other students around
you and stay in your own personal space so
that the students don’t bump into each other.
Stay away from the volleyball poles that are in
the corners of the gym.

Checking for Understanding:

-Why is it important to be aware of your own
personal space? To stay safe so no one gets
hurt being in each others space.
Demonstration for the class
Motivational objective: this should be fun
enjoyable warm up activity to get students
active.

Activity 2: Route Running- Command Style

This activity will go along with the last
activity. Practice going over the different
:30 routes on the tree for them to use as wide
receivers. The students will be split up into 4
23:00 groups. All of the students will rotate as the
following positions; QB, WR and Center.
During this activity, the center will snap the
ball to the QB (2-3 feet back) and the WR will
run into open space about 10-15 yards out.
Have teams previously split up.
Demo: Have student leaders and students
volunteer to demo in front of their classmates
so the students will know what it is supposed
to look like. During the student demos, I will
be talking to the class.
Extensions:
Up – Run deeper
Down – Run shorter or stay in place
Checking for Understanding:
-Who can tell me what a proper throw looks
like in football? What position in football
normally throws the ball?

Activity 3: Tic-Tac-Toe
Hula Hoops or Hotsports will be set up in a
tic-tac-toe board. There will be a group of 4 at
each station, divided into 2 teams of 2. One
person on each team will be a QB and WR.
Team 1 WR will run to a hula hoop, if they
catch the pass they will mark it with a bean
bag that it is there to claim a spot. Then, team
2 will go, so on. If the ball is dropped, they
will skip that turn and the other team will go.
It will be played just like tic-tac-toe.
Extension up: move further away
Extension Down: move closer

Activity 4: Game Play

Have students start playing full games, two
hand touch. Go over all of the rules and then
give them free space for them to play amongst
themselves as I officiate.

1:00 Transition
Students will return to meeting place
 Have all students huddle back up to go
over the closure after being spread out
during the lesson. Have student leaders
collect equipment while I hand out exit
quizzes to the students.
9:00 Closure
Psychomotor
 Practice showing me what the skill
cues look like when throwing and
catching a football. Ask for student
demos here. Who might want to lead
and stand in front of the class in doing
it first.
Affective
 When asked by the teacher, explain
what was their favorite part of the
lesson?
 Ask students if they had fun today.
 Check for understanding and what the
lesson purpose was.
Cognitive
Students will be given an exit quiz for me to
see how much knowledge they retained from
the lesson. Students leave to change and go get
ready for lunch.
