Sample Activities:
· GREAT PERFORMANCES - Provide students with an observer checklist for a particular sport or activity. Using a videotape of the sport or activity, focus on various skill levels from basic to advanced. Students refer to the observer checklist as they watch the tape. Discuss each level of play and the performance characteristics noted on the checklist. For example, show a home video of a beginning basketball player, then show a middle and high school student, a college player, and then a professional player. Students brainstorm and discuss the differences in skilled performance and identify why the performances differ (e.g., size, age, practice.)
· SHOWCASING OUR SKILLS - Students create a video showcasing three skills learned in physical education class. Form small groups and allow time for each group to select the skills and a target audience. (If time is a problem, assign the skills; if time is not critical, allow groups time to discuss and select skills.) Students develop a script, locate props, and create costumes. Videotape the productions and discuss the planning process. Ask: “Was it hard to decide on the three skills? How did your group decide? How did you decide what was important to teach? Is there an easy way to teach the skill? How did you decide on a target audience? What might you do differently next time?” Students use the tapes to teach the skill to the designated target audience.
Variation: Students create posters using key words and phrases in different languages and use the posters in the instructional video.
