Final Project

Online Unit Plan: Physical Education

Boxing: Grade 9

Outcomes: PE9.1

Examine and apply the principles of training (i.e., overload, progression, specificity, adaptation, use/disuse) to personal action plans that incorporate daily moderate to vigorous movement activity and focus on the improvement and/or maintenance of self-selected components of health-related fitness (cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility).

Indicators:

a. Apply an understanding of the principles of training while participating in movement activities that focus on challenging one or more components of health-related fitness.

c. Create, implement, evaluate, and revise a personal fitness plan that illustrates the use of the principles of training and incorporates at least 30 consecutive minutes of moderate to vigorous activity on a daily basis.

f. Assess fitness plans of others (e.g., classmate created, family member created) as to the effectiveness of the plans based on the incorporation of the principles of training to benefit specified components of health-related fitness.

g. Provide feedback to support others (e.g., classmate, family member) in making improvements to personal fitness plans.

Assessment:

Achievement of provincial curricula outcomes. Effectiveness of teaching strategies employed. Student self-reflection on learning (oral). Differentiated instruction.  Peer feedback (checklist assessment). Provide a brief demonstration of the skills learnt (project). Rubric. Observation. Guided discussion. Conferencing.

What I want students to know: the benefits of staying active. The benefits of daily cardio. The skills and techniques needed for boxing. To be able to create and implement the skills learnt.  How to constructively help each other and guide each other in their learning.

What students should understand: the skills and techniques must be used correctly to avoid injury. Stay within your weight class and skill level when choosing a partner.  The importance of intervals during heavy workouts.

Students should be able to: practice the techniques and skills learnt from the tutorial videos.  Create and assess individual and partner work.  Use the skills learnt in a safe and effective way.  Moderate their own workout so they are not over exerting themselves.

Essential Questions: What is the importance of staying active?  How does staying active affect our bodies and health?  How can we connect diet to activity?  How much activity should we be doing each day to stay healthy?  Why is cardio so important?

Inclusion and Adaptation Notes: For a child with an exceptionality, please modify to suit their needs.  Do not exclude the child from this lesson.  It is participation based.  The goal is to stay active.

NOTE: Handout rubric and checklist at the start of lesson 7 for assessment and evaluation.

Activity 7: Final Project Training

Individually and in pairs you will create a series of movements showing what you have learnt throughout this course. Your partner will help assess and evaluate your individual and joint task.

1) Individual: Start from the beginning. Show what the basics are, correct footwork, dodging and blocking, and speed and power.  Effort is necessary. If your movement is limited please explain to your partner what you would do if modifications/adaptions were not needed. A checklist will be provided for assessment. Participation is a large portion of your mark.

2) Partners: A checklist will be provided for you to assess/evaluate your partner. You will be assessing heavy bag training techniques and sparring techniques.If your movement is limited please explain to your partner what you would do if modifications/adaptions were not needed. Participation is a large part of your mark.

Today you will spend time practicing your routines. Next class, the whole class will be assessed at the same time.  You should only be watching your partner, not other partners. Please be respectful of this as some students will not be comfortable performing in front of the full class or having an audience.

Give peer feedback during the training phase.  Help each other with correct movements, techniques, and stances. If you see your partner is not using the correct movements, correct them constructively. All videos are accessible if you need them for a recap.

I will be moving around the class conferencing with you individually and providing feedback.

Activity 8: Final Project

You have ten minutes to practice your movements.  As you practice checklists for individual and partner assessment will be handed out.

The class will be split into two groups.  Individual and Partner: the individual group will start with the individual assessment. The partner groups will begin with the partner assessment. When you have completed your first group switch and find a partner station/individual station to go to.

Individual Group: Find a comfortable space, decide who will be going first for individual performance. Remember, eyes on your partner only, at all times.  Use the checklist to asses your partners growth and skills.

Partner Group: Find a station with a heavy bag. Decide who will be going first for the heavy bag training. Both of you must complete the heavy bag training before moving onto sparring.  When sparring, please be respectful of your partner.  Our aim is not to hurt your partner, but show what skills you have gained. Remember, eyes on your partner only, at all times. Use the checklist to asses your partners growth and skills.

I will asses each student based on my observations throughout the course, improvements made, participation, group discussion, and peer feedback/assessment.  A Rubric should have been provided prior to starting the final project.

I will be observing the whole class.  I will not be giving feedback.  I will be grading with a rubric.

Closing: shake yourself off from head to toe.

If you are finished before others, please have a seat around the edge of the gym.  Orally reflect on what you have learnt, what you liked, what you disliked, the benefits of staying active, lifestyle changes (if any) you have made during this course, and if you will continue to build on this knowledge, with your partner.

Group Discussion: What did you learn? What skills have you gained? How does your body feel? Has your diet changed/been affected due to this course? What is the importance of staying active? Do you have any questions? – please allow students to ask questions and feed off of their responses for further questions. Self reflect.
