Lesson Objectives: (situation, task, criteria):

     Ex. During class, students will demonstrate a proper kicking motion (step next to ball, opposite foot pointing toward target,   

    kick ball with the inside of foot, follow through) 3 out of 5 times).

Cognitive (understanding knowledge): After class, students will be able to reflect, and retain the new information they have obtained about the motion of throwing a football properly and effectively.

Psychomotor (performance/demonstrates): During class, students will be able to perfrom proper motion of throwing a football (stepping with non-dominant foot, twisting torso, cocking back arm, following through with arm and shoulder, explosive release) while throwing to a partner stationary 10 times and mobile 2-4 times.

Affective (interpersonal skills): After class, students ability to work together and assist each other with throwing a football will increase sportsmanship by saying “good catch” or “good throw” each trial, and giving each other high fives after a good pass and catch during the mobile activity along with boosting their confidence as their performance increases during the sessions.

Safety Statement: During the first activity, make sure you are aware of your surroundings. You will be close to your other students and footballs will be being thrown. Do not purposely throw it at anyone. Make sure your shoes are dry, because you will be running as a receiver during an activity today in class.

Lesson Content: Good morning class, my name is Mr. Knight and today I will be teaching you all how to properly throw a football. First off, has anyone ever played football recreationally or competitively? That’s great, okay, now who knows what position in football has to throw the football? Quarterback right, has anyone ever seen that Peyton Manning commercial where he picks his nose to throw it accurately? Pretty funny, but okay so the first step is to face your shoulder towards your target. You want to be bouncing on your feet because no one wants to get hit right? Now, you’re going to expand your chest, cock your throwing arm back, and step with your non-dominant or opposite foot. Like Peyton said, take that nose picking finger and point it to where you want the ball to go. While stepping forward with your non-dominant foot, twist your torso, and follow through with your shoulder releasing the ball explosively. Does anyone have any questions? So for our first activity I want you all to grab a partner and line up where I say. I want you all to use the mechanics I had just taught you and throw to your partner 10 times each. Each time your partner makes a good throw or catch, say “good throw” or “good catch”. Good job everyone, bring it in to me please. So in football we know the QB is not going to be able to throw it to a player who is not moving. So this time, I want one partner to start at this cone and jog to this cone, while your other partner is on this cone using proper form to throw the ball on target. Do this a few times each or until I say stop.

 Closure: Okay stop, everyone bring it in on me and get ready to take your heart rates. Ready, go, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Okay everyone remember that. So can anyone tell me the proper way to throw a football? What position involves throwing the ball accurately? Good job everyone

SCRIPT!

You good? Alright, Good morning class my name is Mr. Knight and today I’m going to be teaching you how to throw a football. First off has anyone ever played football either competitively or recreationally? Pat, nice. Alright so who has seen that commercial with Peyton Manning in it? Anybody, when he throws it, picks his nose and points. Okay so that’s what I’m going to teach ya. The basics of throwing a football. So first off, you’re gonna, you’re gonna aim your shoulders towards your target like you’re throwing a baseball. Square your feet off shoulder width apart and hold onto the ball with two hands. When you’re looking at your target you’re going to be on your feet cause you don’t want to get hit while you’re playing but today you’re going to be stationary standing. You’re going to step with your opposite foot so if you’re a lefty you’re gonna be stepping with your right foot first, if you’re a righty you’ll be stepping with your left foot first. So when you step with your left foot you’re gonna twist your torso, and then point that finger like Peyton says, cock back your right arm or left and release and follow through. Alright, so everyone get a partner and when you get a partner I want one partner to line up on this line, and the other partner to line up where I say to okay ready? Yup and grab a football. No Pat, you cannot be by yourself. You good everyone got a partner? Alright one partner line up on this white line right here across from your partner. Dude come on its ten minutes. Alright, so for this activity were all going to just throw it to our partner stationary no one’s going to be moving. I just want to see proper form. I want to see you stepping with that opposite non-dominant foot, cock back twist your torso, and release and throw it to them okay? I want you all to throw to your partner at least ten times and when you’re throwing and you see a good pass or good catch, say good pass or good catch okay? Alright so when I say go you’re gonna go. Ready, Go. Nice throw, nice throw, oh yup, nice throw, nice catch, nice catch, when you get to ten throw a piece just stop and hold onto the balls please. Let’s go Yohan that was fabulous. Nice throw, awe Pat dude I didn’t know you were a baller! Let’s go Hannah let’s see what you got. Nice throw, with the catch! Alright we all done? Okay everyone bring it in real quick.

So as you all know in football a quarterback is never going to throw to a receiver who is just standing there, it’s very rare when that happens. So for this next drill I want you all to get with your partner and one partner’s gonna stand on each cone. One partner will be the Quarterback the other the receiver. You’re gonna just jog; Christine wanna demonstrate with me? So Christine will start here and I’m gonna start over here as the Quarterback, and you’re gonna just say go. Christine will jog to that cone and you’re gonna drop back, use that form and throw it. Good catch Christine. Alright now if everyone can get with their partner split up so it’s even on both sides and we can get going from there. Alright now for this drill I want you each to do it five times. I want you each to throw five times and run five times okay? So, when you’re ready you can get going, go ahead Yohan. Nice throw its okay, yeah good catch Evan! No problem sir, Yeah Pat! Good catch Christine. There you go Russell, good catch. Who is that Tom Brady? Oh, too strong! Good pass, good pass. Yeah Christine, throwing dimes everyone. There you go, with the huck. Good throw that was a good throw Jackie. Let’s go Hannah. Max how many times have you thrown? Really, oh okay. Evan how many times have you thrown? Wow they’re slow. How many times have you ran? Okay so we have awhile to go. It’s okay let’s see that good form, here switch balls. Yeah, one handed catches are A’s. Good pass, oh one hander! Yeah Max, good catch Evan. With the bomb Yohan. Pat you sure you don’t ball? You sure you’re not a baller? Good pass, good catch. Hey one handers are extra credit. Yeah good catch. So now this is you’re third time throwing Max? Alright, good catch Christine one hander too. Good throw. Nice catch, good throw good form! Let’s go Hannah use that form you know what to do. Nice look at that, look at that spiral. I think Peyton Manning’s here huh Evan. Alright, I think were just gonna.. Good catch!! Keep saying good pass and good catch everyone. Yup, What number is this for you? Running, really? See you’re way ahead of these guys. Okay were just gonna uh, last throw over here. Alright now everyone bring it in, but I want you all to go up to your partner and high fives the, and say good job. Alright now everyone bring it in on me, but six people grab a cone and bring it in please. Then we can put all the balls back into this bad. I’m gonna put Hannah in charge of this. Okay, so can anyone tell me the proper form the throw a football? Step, with what foot? Opposite, then what are you going to do? Hold onto the ball with both hands right and not just one. Cause you don’t want it to slip out and then you’re screwed. So, alright and then what position is it that throws the ball? Quarterback? And who do they throw the ball to? Receiver’s, right alright good job everyone!

20 Filler Words

                Script/Lesson Plan Differences

                Before teaching my lesson I had to create a lesson plan, following all the instructions and outlines I thought my lesson plan was well written and contained enough detail of what would be going on in the lesson. After teaching though and listening to myself speak and creating my script, I noticed how much different they really were. My script was at least three times longer than the ‘Lesson Content’ in my lesson plan. Lesson Content is supposed to be everything we plan on saying throughout our lesson, and following my lesson my script was much longer. This happens because before we actually go and teach we do not tend to think about every little thing we might say. However after teaching, watching my own teaching, it is very clear to me that I said a whole lot more than what I had planned. This is because in teaching/lessons, things come up and you have to adapt to the changes occurring. Before teaching you do not account for these changes, therefore you may or may not have included them into your lesson plan. I did however state all the safety precautions I lad listed in my lesson plan, and for my closure it was pretty similar. In my teaching I think my closure was somewhat shorter than what I had planned, but I implemented questions rather than ask if they had fun. This is key in teaching, because your closure is supposed to prove to you as the teacher that you’re students actually learned the skills you taught them and can continue to utilize them in their future. Now as for my students adhering to the standards I had highlighted, I feel as if they did grasp them. My students performed various tasks that could keep them healthy, and seeing progress within those will help boost their confidence and prove to them a healthy lifestyle is important. I had my students give each other high fives multiple times throughout the lesson, and had them even say ‘good pass’ or ‘good catch’ whenever their partner did something well. So for this, they definitely learned how sportsmanship is important in a sports setting, and that being kind to your peers will only benefit you and them as well. The skills I taught my students are definitely those of motor movement patterns. Throwing a football takes repetitive practice, which my lesson assisted them in. Having them throw the football a lot throughout the lesson without a doubt proved my students demonstrated competency in such skills. For the most part, I can say my actually lesson plan and script were very similar. Minus the fact that my script was much longer, my lesson plan still contained enough information to get a substitute to be able to teach that lesson. Taking this as a learning experience, I now know to include ‘everything’ in my lesson plan content that way my script is pretty much the same exact thing next time.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

As an intent to become a Physical Educator and Coach, having an educational philosophy is important. I personally feel education is extremely important to having a successful life. It furthers your mind, and allows you to grasp things others cannot. So for me, education is a thing everyone should endure, I understand going to school may not be fun or the most exciting thing to do during your life but it is how you set yourself up for your future. Being dedicated and determined in school is the only way to get through it, successfully. Some people claim it is a waste of time, but when you look at those individuals look what they have to show for. Going to school makes you a better individual in so many ways, developing long lasting friendships and gaining the knowledge for the job you desire. Phyiscal Education is important to me though personally, because I see it as a way to better yourself physically. Gaining knowlefge to live a healthy lifestyle, will only assist your life worth and value.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

As a teacher you need to have a philosophy, in order for your students to know what is expected of them. Growing up, every teacher or educator you have had has had a philosophy that dictates how their classroom setting will go. For me, I think I will be one of those educators who has somewhat of a command style, but also has that cooperative style as well. I want to be able to connect with my students, but also have them respect me and respect what I say. Informing students of my philosophy right away is key because they will know what to expect of me, and what I expect of them. If they understand where I am coming from then class will be a breeze, I expect attention and effort but most importantly just to give it your best.

COACHING PHILOSOPHY

Being a coach is like grasping a totally new lifestyle. It is something many people do not experience, and it is mostly athletes who have the love for the game they once played. Such as myself, being an athlete my entire life makes me want to coach as I get older in my life. My future I can see hold a coaching perspective and to have a philosophy is important to being a successful coach. There are three types of coaching styles; command, cooperative, and submissive. To me, I think cooperative style is most efficient. I want to share decisions with my team, and have a mutual agreement on some things, however still being in control and making important decisions on my own or with my staff. My players are expected to follow the rules we set in place, and I will lead by example. There are a few simple things I desire as a coach from my players; working hard, never giving up, being loyal, being supportive, and creating a sense of brotherhood. I want my team to be successful, I want to develop my players socially, physically, and mentally for the life they have after sports.
