Name: Nicholas Plourde Date: 3/27/14 Time: 9:00-9:30 am School: Springfield College Lesson #: 1 Facilities: Dana Gym Class Size: 6 Grade: 9-10 Unit/Theme: Volleyball Generic Level: Control/Utilization Equipment: 4 Boundary Cones, 6 Hot Spots, and 6 Volleyballs Focus of Lesson: Demonstrate the Volleyball Forearm Pass in a Game-like Situation Student Performance Objectives (SPO): (NASPE #___; MA CF #___ ; Task/Activity #___)
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

(P) Perform the forearm pass using the proper form at least five times by the end of the class period. (NASPE # 1; MA CF # 2.17; Activity) (C) Analyze when the forearm pass is useful to apply in a game of volleyball by stating one example during the closure. (NASPE 1; MA CF 2.24; Closure) (A) Follow the class rules without getting a warning during the entire class period. (NASPE 4; MA CF 2.26; Opening) Check each objective is it specific? Is it achievable? Is it developmentally appropriate? Teacher Performance Objectives During the lesson the teacher will: 1. Present to the students the proper skill cues used for the forearm pass by demonstrating to them where and when they need to be used to complete the correct motion by the end of the allotted lesson time. 2. Interact effectively through instruction and feedback so that a positive learning environment is maintained. Special Considerations What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the students in this class? Students need to be sure to stay in their own personal space when forearm passing. Proper attire for physical activity (no jewelry, wearing sneakers) will be enforced at the beginning of class. If students get tired during activity teacher needs to remind them to move to outside the boundaries so they dont get injured. Students will a lso be made aware of any hazardous equipment for which the facility presents. References: (include page # and/or actual web site address) Darst, P. W., Pangrazi, R.

TIME 0-1:00 min.

SEQUENCE OF LESSON Opening: Teacher will great the students upon their entrance to the gymnasium. They will then be made aware of the lesson focus for the day, stop/go signals, safety procedures, and behavior expectations. Transition: Students will walk to the activity area and stand next to volleyball, which will be scattered around throughout the learning space. Warm-Up: Teacher will order students to forearm pass the ball to themselves by continuously bumping it. Transition: Students will walk to a specific area expressed by the teacher outside of the boundaries and form a semicircle across from them. Informing: The teacher will present to the students that the forearm pass is an effective skill to utilize in volleyball because it can be used for multiple purposes, like digging a hit, passing the ball to a teammate, or even to return the ball over the net. They will then be made aware of what the proper form for the skill is so that they will better be able to interpret what to do with their bodies when performing it. Skill Cues: Make a flat surface with arms by placing the back of one hand in the palm of other. Extend arms, body, and knees to the ball. Meet the ball with arms, not swinging at it. Aim arms towards the middle of the gymnasium wall, not the ceiling.

Checking for Understanding: 1. What should your arms look like when forearm passing a volleyball? 2. How should your arm contact the volleyball when forearm passing? 3. Where should your arms be targeting when forearm passing a volleyball? Demonstration: Students will be provided by with a physical presentation of how to forearm pass by the teacher using whole-part-whole instructional strategy, mirror-image tactic, as well as different angles so that each learner will be provided with a series of visual aides to mimic the instructors execution form. After this introduction, if any student also wants to volunteer performing the skill in front of the class, they will be allowed to do so so that the teacher can give instruction for the concept at the exact same time it is being executed. *Each demonstrator will have an assistant (student or teacher) that will toss the ball to them so that they can volley it back to them. 8:40-9:00 min. Transition: Students will be given five seconds to find a partner, grab one volleyball from a pile indicated by the teacher, walk to the activity area, and each stand on a hot spot already prearranged facing across from one another putting the object down at their feet. Activity: Inside the boundaries of the activity area will be two hot spots facing across from each other placed at a distance of ten feet away. Using the volleyball, one partner will be asked to pick it up and forearm pass it to their partner, whose job is to then attempt to forearm pass it back to them in an effort to start a rally. The students will continuously complete the same sequence

in this activity until the volleyball hits the floor, for which will then indicate to start the progression over again. Activity Diagram: Motivational Objective: The goal for the partnerships in this activity is to successfully have a forearm pass rally using the proper form for as long as they possibly can without the gator ball T touching the floor. Extension Up: Partnerships whom are prospering with the activity will be given the option to progressively move farther away from one another by order of the teacher. Extension Down: Partnerships whom are struggling with the activity will be given the option to progressively move nearer towards one another by order of the teacher. 16:00-16:20 min. Transition: One partnership will be asked to pick up, bring, and place their equipment in a pile outside of the activity area and walk back to where they were originally positioned to take a seat. When complete, students will randomly be split up into three teams by the teacher counting off. Application: Each team will then compete against one another in a volleying relay race. This game consists of two students from each team standing on their own hot spot placed fifteen feet across from one another. The job of the other player is to provide one of their teammates with a solid toss of a volleyball so that they can forearm pass it to the other group member across from them. The individual attempting to catch the volleyball must have one foot on the hot spot at all time. Once caught, the

tosser then becomes the volleyer, the volleyer then becomes the catcher, and the catcher then becomes the tosser. Each player on the team must have performed every role in order to finish the game. The purpose of this activity is for the students to apply the skill for which was taught during the class period into a culminating game. Motivational Objective: The first team to complete the entire sequence the fastest is declared the winner. Extension Up: If teams are doing very well with the activity, they will be given the option to move farther away from one another by order of the teacher. Extension Down: If teams are struggling with the activity, they will be given the option to move nearer towards one another by order of the teacher. 27:20-27:40 min. Transition: Students will be asked to pick up all equipment and place in in a pile located outside of the activity area. When finished, they will meet the teacher at the center of the gymnasium and form a semicircle around them for a final debrief. Closure: At the meeting spot, the teacher will thank the students for listening and cooperating during the lesson; only if they behaved respectfully.

volleyball? 3. What is the ideal time to use the forearm pass in a 3-hit sequence when playing volleyball? The teacher will have all the students demonstrate the forearm pass one last time together without a volleyball in order to make sure that they have all mastered its proper form. 29:40-30:00 min. Transition: Teacher will order students to grab their belongings and dismiss them to their next class. Transition Diagram: TSSSSSS
