Lab A 2


I found that the second time around teaching the same lesson and actually having time to prepare was a lot less nerve racking. With that said there were still a couple of things that I forgot to say and do in the lesson. I forgot to add a safety statement, I forgot to tell the class what the signal for attention was, and I forgot to actually demonstrate the game for the students. All of the things i forgot to add this time teaching i will make a point to add it in my next lesson. There were a couple of things that i feel that i did well. I feel that i projected my voice better this time around. I also feel that i interacted with the class more as opposed to me just standing in the front of the class and telling then students what we are going to do today. I am looking forward to starting Lab B so I can get another chance to improve on my teaching skills!!
(To the whole class)
Alright
My name is Mr. Tompkins I am going to be your sub today for Phys Ed because your regular teacher can’t be here today.
Today I was walking into cl uh school today
Everybody has cell phones and texts right?
I was walking into cl uh school today and I had my head down and I walked right into the door because I was texting and walking at the same time I have a huge headache right now.
So today what we are going to learn in class is the basic skills of dribbling.
What I want you guys to focus on is keeping your eyes up and always be aware of where the defenders are keeping your eyes up and not looking down at the ball when your dribbling
So if everybody could just spread out and get in a good athletic stance
Everybody has their basketballs with them now
I want everybody to practice dribbling with the ball out in front of you keeping the ball on your fingertips not slapping the ball with the pal of your hand keeping your knees bent always keeping your eyes up ad paying attention to where you are
So go ahead everybody stand there and practice dribbling
Nice job see if we can switch hands with it
In your weak hand
Back over to your right hand
One more time
Aleright nice job
What we are going to do today we are going to play a game called sharks and minnows 
Im going to split you guys up into half, half the class is going to stay down here and the other half is going to go on the other um side of the gym
And we are going to have about uh five or six people with uh basketballs on one side and about five or six people in the middle that are going to be the sharks and the fish with the basketballs are going to have to get to one side to the other with out losing the basketball
So if everyone from here over stay down here and here over go down there
Lets go hustle up
1,2,3,4,5 1,2,3,4,5 with basketballs down here
And you 4 are going to be the sharks in the middle

chapter 2 and 4 questions


Chapter 2 questions
3) There are three stages when learning a motor skill.
- Cognitive stage- which means that the learner needs to see the skill done and think about it before he or she can attempt it.
- Associative stage- this is the stage where he learner is attempting to prefect the skill by performing it this is the stage where feedback is necessary from the teacher.
- Automatic stage- this is the stage where the learner has practiced and preformed the skill and it can be preformed automatically
4) -When teaching a closed skill the teacher needs to break down the skill and teach it in segments to focus on certain points of the skill. When a student shows proficiency with the progressions of the skill the teacher needs to but the learner in the actual environment that the skill is going to be performed.
-When teaching a open skill the teacher needs to slow down the skill have the learner perform the skill with no defenders or no time limit then eventually as the learner shows progress in learning the skill build up to game like practice.
-When teaching a discrete or serial skill the teacher needs to break down the skill because the learner needs to understand that there is more then one skill that needs to be learned in order to perform the entire skill. Once the teacher has broken down the whole skill to the learner the teacher can put the skill together and have the learner practice it in a game like environment.
Chapter 4 questions 2,3,5
2) One way to improve communication with the learners during class communication is to try to relate to the students some how. One way a teacher can do that is by using students in the lesson by saying Billy is very good and what ever it is you are teaching that day, one other way to improve communication is by linking the lesson with something that the students are interested like the NFL game that was on TV on Sunday or the MLB game or a good kids movie or show, something that will make the kids want to listen to what you are saying.
3)- information is accurate
- Student should perform skill if possible
- Teacher uses organizational format that students will use for practice
- Important information is emphasized
- Give information on why a skill is performed in a certain way
- Student understanding is checked
- The demonstration is repeated more then one time
5) A good learning cue given by a teacher should be short to the point but still explains enough of the task given to help the learner remember what he or she needs accomplish.
-Cues for closed skill: Free-throw
            Younger students: -knees bent
                                             -Make line (with foot arm and basket)           
                                                  -Push to the sky (with ball)
                                                 - Make rainbow (with follow through)
             Older Students: -Knees bent
                                            -Elbow in line with basket
                                            -Shoot for back of rim
                                            -Follow through 
-Cues for Open Skill: Volley Ball set
              Younger Students: - Knees bent
                                            -Make window above head
                                            -push ball to sky
                     Older Students: - Track ball 
                                              -Knees bent
                                              - Diamond above head
                                              - Push hands out and ball up

Chapter 1 questions


1) The statement teaching is a goal-oriented activity means that there is curriculum that needs to be met by the physical education teacher set by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education.
5) Movement task-student response is so important to Physical Education because this is where the majority of the learning in a Physical Education class is going to take place. After the class performs a task and the teacher observes it the teacher will then give feed back to the class on what needs to change and get better.
7) Teaching functions are things that all teachers need to be able to do, the functions are just guidelines on how to promote and organize and good learning environment for the students.
         1. Assessing student performance: a teacher can administer a test to observe the students performance, or the teacher can just observe during class while the task is being preformed.
         2. Evaluating: the teacher can either give a written grade on a report card or just give a verbal grade after the skill was assessed

First teaching exercise

After reviewing my video i found that there are many things that i need to work on as a teacher. I feel that i need to project my voice better and just be louder overall. I also feel that i need to get my students more involved with the lesson and find out a way for them to enjoy being in class instead of just dribbling in lines up and down the court.
