Book Description
Make teaching easier and more effective with Quality Lesson Plans for Secondary Physical Education! This cookbook-style guide contains more than 150 ready-to-use lesson plans--enough for every day of the school year.These classroom-tested lessons with developmentally appropriate activities enable middle school, junior high school, and high school physical educators to greatly reduce their planning time. Undergraduate students in professional practice will also benefit--reduced planning time means they can concentrate on refining their teaching skills.
You'll find four sections in Quality Lesson Plans for Secondary Physical Education: physical fitness, major sports, minor sports and activities, and single-day lessons.
The fitness unit gives you a progression of lessons designed to improve cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility. It includes protocols for AAHPERD's Physical Best and the Prudential Fitnessgram youth fitness tests. These 12 lessons can be used as a several-week unit emphasizing fitness or can be used periodically throughout the year to maintain an ongoing commitment to fitness.
The major sports units include traditional activities: badminton, basketball, dance, flag football, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball. For each you'll find 10 or 11 developmentally appropriate lessons that progress from beginning to more advanced skills.
The minor units include more innovative activities: bowling, floor hockey, golf, jumping rope, orienteering, pickle-ball, speedball, team handball, and ultimate frisbee. Four to seven lessons for each unit give students a solid introduction to each sport or activity.
The single-day activities include 18 lessons perfect for rainy days or as breaks between the major and minor units. Fun and challenging activities such as bocce ball, cricket, tinikling, and folk dances give students a change of pace and a brief look at alternative physical activities.
Each lesson includes information on
• the purpose of the lesson,
• equipment and facilities needed,
• appropriate warm-ups,
• skill cues for students,
• teaching cues (where appropriate),
• main activities, and
• closure.
