Title of Lesson: Jumping Over Puddles
Numbers of students in class: 25
Target Audience: K-5


Goal of the Lesson: Students will be able to jump the distance of their height.


Instructional Objectives:
1) By the end of the lesson, students will demonstrate their ability to perform a jump for distance using the proper fundamental motor patterns.
2) Throughout the activity students will be able to cooperate with instructions asked by the teacher as well as encourage one another at all times.
3) Students will describe the proper cues for an effective jump for distance which are bent knees, arms back, push off, extend arms, land on 2 feet in a squat, arms forward.

Core Curriculum Content Standards and Cumulative Progress Indicators:
Indicator 2.5-1 Perform locomotor, non-locomotor and manipulative movement skills

Materials and Equipment List
- ropes ( 1 per student) placed on sideline
- strips of masking tape ( 2 per student) placed loosely on floor beside the rope
- 4 pinnies for tag game
- music

Transitions

Attendance:
Teach will have attendance cards in the order they are seated in their squad. These cards will have the name of student and a calendar. Teacher will flip through quickly and mark if a student is absent on the day in the calendar.
Upon arrival into gymnasium, students should sit in predetermined squads. There will be 6 per squad and each squad is in a straight line one behind the other
5 mins

Warm-ups
Students will be asked to play a game of tag with 4 people wearing pinnies as the chasers. After 2 minutes new chasers are chosen by the teacher. Throughout the game if you are tagged you need to run outside the out of bounds lines and do 5 hops on each foot and then get back into the game.


Tag game will be played within the out of bounds lines of the basketball court

Introduction/Motivation
Teacher will say: Think about your favorite pair of sneakers. If they are your favorite then you want to keep them for as long as possible. So you don’t want to get them dirty or messed up in any way right? Think about when it’s raining and theirs a lot of puddles. Sometimes you want to jump in them to make a splash but you wouldn’t do that with a new pair of sneakers. Today I am going to teach you the secret to jumping over puddles as big as you are by jumping the right way. Are you ready to keep those sneakers clean? Let’s jump over some puddles!


Gather everyone in and have them sit down

Activity 2
25 minutes


Instructional Tasks and Application:

Activity 1- Teacher will show cues of the fundamental motor patterns of jumping by lining the students up on the sideline. The teacher should be facing the students and explain the cues off take off, flight, and landing. This will be a “copy cat” explanation where teacher will show each cue and students will do as the teacher does. Teacher will make sure students have proper form throughout the activity making sure to give positive feedback and constructive criticism.
The cues for take off are- knees bent (in a squat position as if you are about to sit in a chair), arms back.
The cues for the flight are push off your toes as you jump forward and extend your arms up elbows near your head.
The cues for landing are land on both feet arms out straight in front of your body ending up again in knee bent position.
Then we will go through it in slow motion saying bent knees, arms back, push off, extend arms, land on 2 feet in a squat, arms forward.



Activity 2-
Students are asked to place their rope on the sideline where they are set up with their partner. Jump over the rope as far from your rope as possible. Repeat until instructed otherwise. Place your tape where you landed and try and improve it on your second jump.
Finally place your marking tape on the floor. Then lie down and place the rope at the top of your head. This will create the distance of your height. Take the second piece of tape and stick it to your clothes loosely. Standing behind the rope try to jump your height. Put the second piece of tape where you landed and try to jump over the puddle as big as you are! Repeat and practice until stopped by the teacher


As the students perform
Assessment
Teacher will walk around watching the students progression in there jumps commenting on form as well as distance. The teacher will watch and go through a checklist of the cues. After the class students should have carried out distance jumps with 3 out of the four correct cues.

2 mins
Lesson Closure
The teacher will bring everyone to center court and have them seating. The teacher will ask Who can show me a distance jump as big as they are. Student will do it in front of the class. Then students will be asked to identify the proper cues in the fundamental motor patterns dealing with jumping for distance. Finally the teacher will conclude with: Now you all know the special secret to jumping over huge puddles as big as you are. Thanks you for enjoying my lesson I had a great time teaching you guys. You were great

Learning Plan (Stage 3)
Where are your students headed? Where have they been? How will you make sure the students know where they are going?
Students can learn basic motor function and be able to progress in a natural state. A progress chart will be laid out for each student to ensure they are progressing properly.
How will you hook students at the beginning of the unit?
Students will be hooked on jumping by making it seem fun in relation to a kid’s real life.
What events will help students experience and explore the big idea and questions in the unit? How will you equip them with needed skills and knowledge?
Within this lesson, it will be helpful that the students are “jumping over puddles” When it rains, the students will be able to relate to the event.
How will you cause students to reflect and rethink? How will you guide them in rehearsing, revising, and refining their work?
I will guide them with example and demonstration.
How will you help students to exhibit and self-evaluate their growing skills, knowledge, and understanding throughout the unit?
Student can keep track of how far they are jumping and if they are following all of the proper jumping steps needed.
How will you tailor and otherwise personalize the learning plan to optimize the engagement and effectiveness of ALL students, without compromising the goals of the unit?
The jumping unit can be changed to tailor each student because of the difficulty of each event. Each event can be significantly simplified to help each student.
How will you organize and sequence the learning activities to optimize the engagement and achievement of ALL students?

Reflection-

Working on this template, and using it as a guide was extremely difficult for me. I feel that his template was not designed for a phys ed teacher to use. In the past I have not had to do lesson plans, and have no experience in doing lesson plans to begin with, and to make it more specific in this template was very hard. I really didnt know how to make it more detailed and come up with an overarching question for a lesson that I used with younger elementary kids in a phys ed setting. if anyone has imput, it would be welcomed.
