Explorer Scavenger Hunt

Freddy and DJ's lesson was very informative on old explorers. I thought this activity was very fun exciting and challenging. I enjoyed taking pictures with my group and traveling through park center. I feel this lesson kept me very active. I think it would have went a lot smoother if we did not have a fire alarm during the activity. I also feel once we found a clue, we should have received the next clue at that station. I really liked Freddy's costume with the hat and parrot on his shoulder. I think he had a great introduction and had very good visual aids. I can do a scavenger hunt in my physical education class and use material they learn from their others classes to reinforce the information. I would peform the scavenger hunt in just the gymnasium. I would not have my students running through parking lots, and away from my supervision. I really liked how the lesson had a lot of activity time. Interdisciplinary teaching is effective to many students. Teaching one style, information might not get through to all students. Using many different teaching techiques allows for more learning opportunities among students. I think the data collected accurately supports my step count and rate rate. My heartrate definately elevated as I was trying to find the clues and take pictures with my group.

Instant Activity

I was asked to lead the instant activity for the class. I had to think of an activity that would make everybody warmup and be ready to participate. I came up for a version of tag related to halloween because it was close to the holiday. I think I explained the rules pretty clearly, and changed up the activity by adding more taggers and having the class perform different loco motor skills. I established boundaries and had a safety statement prior to the activity starting. I think the class enjoyed my halloween version of tag. It was a new activity for me and them to enjoy.

above is the time coding form for my hurling lesson for lab c day two.

From doing this form, I realize I should have more activity time in my lesson. I should spend less time on instructing and management, and have more activity time, so my students are staying active throughout the class. 47% of my time was spent on giving my students cues, rules, and tasks to perform. Only 39% of the time spent during my lesson was activity time for my students. My goal for my class is to have activity time to be over 50%. 17% of my lesson was devoted to management. I should work on making smoother transitions from giving out equipment, an having them focus on more activity time. Throughout my lesson, I noticed I give very general feedback to individual students. I also gave individual instruction througout the lesson. I gave critical feedback and tried to make my students perform the task the correct way. Now as I prepare for my lab D, I need to make the activity time for my lesson over 50%

Verbal Transcript of Lab

Lab C Day 2 of Hurling

To whole class
If I could have everybody bring it over here real quick
You guys ready to go?
All set?
Alright, who here enjoys going to the gym and working out?
Ya, everybody
What do you guys do when you go to the weight room?
You guys like running or you like lifting?
Lifting!
Okay, today I am going to teach you lifting in regards to hurling.
Lifting is when we are going to scoop the ball off the ground and its going to be transition so umm you can get into a good striking position.
So today umm I am going to teach you first the jab lift
Does everybody remember the ready position?
Feet shoulder width apart. Can everybody show me the ready position?
Alright, everybody good.
So the jab lift you are going to start, you are going to get low, lift under, lift up, release and grab it with your hand.
A challenge for this is you could get low, lift under, release and catch with non-dominant hand as well
So that’s going to be your jab lift.
So some rules to go over is you can run a maximum of four steps with the ball in your hand. No more than four though
You can not pick the hurly ball directly off the ground with you hand. You have to use the jab lift to get it off the ground
Does everybody understand so far?
So why don’t you guys get into pairs, partner up, spread out and try working on your jab lifts.
Let’s go on the hop on the hop

To Maria
Maria roll it on the ground

To Taylor
Very nice Taylor, very nice

To Emily
Lets see it Emily, flick, flick
Nice! Way to stay low, stay low

To Eddy
Eddy just roll it on the ground

To Danielle
Lets go Danielle. Come on. Get low, scoop through, catch.
Very nice, very nice

To Eddy
Great job Eddy, great job Eddy

To Nick
That’s it Nick, stay low, stay low

To Brandon
Let’s see it Brandon

To Nick
Okay Nick, ready position, great job, good job

To the whole class
Can everybody freeze and bring it in here real quick
Alright, I saw a lot of great things with the jab lift
Next lift I am going to teach you is the roll lift
During the roll lift, you are going to roll the ball back to you, you are going to scoop it, like you are scooping your favorite ice cream, you are going to flick it up and catch it with your dominant hand.
Does everybody understand? Do you want me to show you one more time?
Okay so, you are going to roll it back towards your body, scoop the ice cream, flick it and catch it.
So, when you flick it, you do not want to flick it too high, so you don’t have to move to run after it. So you want to flick it close to your body as well.
Alright can everybody find a new partner and try that.
Lost and found in the middle

To Russ
Lets see it Russ, roll, Nice!
That would be like getting away from a defender. Say there is a defender in front of you, pull it back, flick it up, and you are good to go. Then you can take four steps and pass it off to somebody else.

To Taylor
Great job Taylor
Nice Flick

To Brandy
Lets see it Brandy
Stay low, good scoop, good scoop


To Eddy
Lets see it Eddy, Lets see it
Roll it back quick and up
Nice

To Danielle
Good job Danielle, good job

To whole class
Can everybody hold the balls and bring it in real quick
Now we are going to make a little competition out of this.
I am going to have two groups and we are going to do a shuttle run
One group is going to start on this white line and another group is going to start on that white line down there.
During the shuttle run you can use roll lifts or jab lifts and its going to be a competition to see which team finishes first.
So if Brandon, Katie, Brandy, and Mike can help me run through this.
Katie and Mike down here, and Brandon and Brandy over there.
We just need one ball, Brandon you got the ball?

To Brandon
You are going to put the ball on the ground, do a lift and then pass it over to Mike
And follow your pass

To Mike
Lets see it Mike

To Brandy
Chop, Chop
You got it Brandy, you got it!
Flick it Brandy, flick it!

To everyone
Does everyone understand?
Okay, can you guys split into two even groups?
One, two, three, four
Everybody ready to go?

To Katie

To everyone
So everyone is going to go around two times, and after you are done with your second time, I want you to sit down so I know you are done
Ready? On your mark, get set, Go!

To Nick
That’s it Nick, good job, good job

To everyone

Hurling DAY 2

After doing the verbal transcript of my lab C, I noticed I gave very general feedback to my students. I also gave more feedback to some students in the class over others. I could tell from listening to the MP3 that I was nervous in the beginning of the lesson, but as I went on I feel I was more confident. For the next, I need to improve on asking more questions, so I can make sure they understand what is expected of them
