Teacher: K. Simonic Unit Title: Introduction to Volleyball Course: Physical Education First Grade Lesson Plan Title: Learning how to Pass a Volleyball (Bumping)

Objectives: (SOLs and Local objectives) 1.1 The student will demonstrate the correct critical elements (small, isolated parts of the whole skill or movement) of locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills. 1.2 The student will demonstrate improvement in locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills while applying the movement concepts. 1.3 The student will participate regularly in moderate-to-vigorous physical activities that cause increased heart and breathing rates. 1.4 The student will identify changes in the body that occur during moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. 1.5 The student will demonstrate, with little or no adult intervention, safe and cooperative behaviors in physical activity settings. 1.6 The student will participate regularly in physical activities that require physical exertion and skill. Enduring Understandings Essential Questions The study of volleyball to recognize how to What role will I play in being a good work with a team and be a team player. teammate and a good sport with my partner? Twenty-first citizens, learners, and workers rely on traditional communication and How can I use constructive criticism with constructive criticism to be a participant in my teammate and my partner? the growing, widening global community. How will students demonstrate their understanding? Participation in group demonstration Actively listening in group demonstration Participation in small group activities Assessments-Formative and Summative Formative- practice bumping the volleyball with classmates Summative- performing their skills in front of the class and/or playing a game of volleyball within their class

Scope and Sequence of Learning Activities (Include Warm-Up, Strategies, Assessments, Closure/Reflection) I. Housekeeping: A. Announce any new top milers. B. Remind students about the volleyball game versus the teachers. II. Procedures A. Knowledge check 1. Students will respond to a couple of questions about what they know about bumping. 2. Responses will be reviewed and misunderstandings/misinformation corrected.

B. Steps to Bumping 1. Keep your knees bent in a ready position. 2. Keep your weight on your toes. 3. Put one hand on top of the other(one hand on top of the other and then place thumbs together. 4. Keep arms straight (do not bend arms) 5. Face where the ball is coming. 6. When you see the ball make contact on your forearms and make a motion of shrugging your shoulders (act like you are saying I dont know) C. Practicing Bumping 1. Work with a partner and practice skills. 2. When students feel comfortable they will get in groups of six and see how long they can keep the volleyball in the air without the volleyball touching the ground. D. Conclude Class 1. Walk the students into the gym, and wait for their teacher to come and get them. (if the class has music or art walk the students to that class, and grab the students who are in art or music and take them to the gym.) Homework Activity Practice passing the volleyball (if needed) Strategies for Differentiation, Critical Thinking, Authentic Learning, Collaboration, StudentCentered Rigor Students choice their partners Use teachers strategies on passing the volleyball

Materials and Resources Volleyballs (the big yellow volleyballs for those who need more practice) Volleyballs (the regular sized volleyballs for those who want to be challenged) Outdoor/Indoor Area

21st Century Learning Look-Fors (Critical Thinking, Innovation, Problem Solving, Collaboration) Students successfully grapple with higher-order questions asked by teacher. Students articulate meaningful responses to so what (what if, why). Students generate higher-level questions. Students engage in authentic learning activities and/or create authentic work. Students defend positions with justification based on factual evidence and data. Students analyze and solve problems by generating a variety of ideas and solutions. Students recognize and pose problems inherent in a given situation. Students adapt learned knowledge to more complex/ambiguous situations.

Students use and explain the right method of thinking (reasoning, decision making, problem solving, making judgments). Students evaluate and communicate their own thinking. Students make connections and predictions using prior knowledge . Students select, create, use and communicate effectiveness of a variety of tools, such as graphic organizers. (Bold/highlighted items are the look fors for the unit/lesson.)
