Today me and Alannah taught our first phys.ed lesson twice! I was very happy with how it went and our teacher that was observing was too. We first taught our lesson to the grade two class that we are pre-interning in. We started with a warm up and then played a game that allowed them to practise their basketball skills. We added lot's of challenges and the kids really enjoyed it. At the end we did a cool down and talked as a class about what went good and what we could have done better.
We also taught the other grade two class right after! We considered the comments that the teacher had left us and the lesson ran much smoother. We again started with a warm up and then went over the rules and expectations in the gym (this class has more behavioural challenges). We then went into some skill developing and we had the students practise throwing a ball. Next is when we went into our game and it went much smoother as each student knew exactly what it was that they were supposed to be doing. We ended with a cool down and discussion.
I strongly advice having discussions at the end of your lessons with your students as they give some excellent feedback and I have already learnt a lot from them. I also advice that everyone try and teach a phys.ed lesson! They are great and a lot of fun! Just make sure you bring your teacher voice as I quickly found out my voice is very quiet.
Yes the GYM voice is sometimes essential! That is why I am a big fan of music in my older age. Great point in the interaction with students and learning from previous experiences. We can always get better and these experiences are crucial. I too suggest we all try to teach a physical education lesson. Thanks for sharing
