So You Think You Can Teach PE?

Lab D                    TEAM BUILDING





Lab D was an interesting lab because it involved a lot of different aspects in our lesson plans.. My lab consisted of team building, outdoor activity, depression, guided discovery, and QR codes. This was a really fun lab which in my case ended up being a "treasure hunt". I think i did a lot better in Lab C especially with my time coding sheet.

C9 FORM

Looking at my C9 form it could have been a lot better. Some strengths consisted of my instant activity. It made students think and be active at the same time.My visual aid was good also. It was neat, had contrast, and was visible from 30 feet. Another strength was my feedback. Although the students were scattered all over the campus whenever I saw them I asked how they were doing, what they found, and how I could help I could have worked on using my whistle for a sign for attention. I also could have worked on my objectives. I should have told students to set a goal on  how many QR codes they could have gotten.

TIME CODING

My time coding was a lot better than Lab C. I previously had gotten a 1 where this time I received a 5. On my management I got 2% which is required to be less than 15%. My activity time was over 50%. i received 80%. All students were very active from the start of my lesson. My instruction time was less than the required 30%. on this category I got 13%. On waiting time, I got 4% out of 5%. i8 felt that especially for this activity it would be hard to have students waiting around because they were constantly on the move.

C12

My C12 was done by Tyler. He gave me some really good congruent feedback. He said he like how I incorporated my health topic, depression, into the QR code search. At the same time he said i needed to work on my checking for understanding because some students were confused at what to do.This feedback can help me on what I need to work on in the future.

C13

I think the C13 form is a great tool to self analyze. It really shows what i need to work on. Although I had an introduction I did forget to state my signal for attention. I think this is because I knew that students were going to be away from me a majority of the time in my lesson. I thought my lesson could have been a little more organized. I was able to tell a couple groups of students to get back at a certain time, but not the whole class. i should have given a specific time of return  to the entire class in the beginning of the lesson. Because of this I was not able to debrief my lesson at the end of class. For "next time" if students disperse I will be sure to give a set time of return.

SOFIT

For my SOFIT my management was less than 1%. At the same time i felt like I could have given the class some more specific instructions. The game play of my lesson exceeded the  required 50%. student were active a large majority time. My general knowledge category could have been a lot better. I needed to incorporate more learning into my lesson.

GROWTH/GOALS

Looking back on all the labs it makes me think of how I have improved and what i need to improve on. During lab A I was extremely nervous and scared to be in front of a bunch of strangers. I believe I have improved on being comfortable and being  in front of others. By lab C I was very comfortable in teaching my lesson. Although I think my voice has gotten better in speaking clearly, I still think it can be louder. Another thing I can work on is my time coding sheet. Trying to find a "happy medium" between all categories is key. One thing I wish I did differently in lab D was give students an exact time to return. If I had done this i would have been able to debrief my lesson. One more thing i can work on is saying "guys". In lad C I did not say it at all but in lab D for some reason I said it a couple of times. Next time i will try to slow down and think more before I speak. I really enjoyed teaching lab D because I think it was something different had students enjoy variety and environment change. Personally the highlight of this lesson was being able to see the students react and figure out the codes.

The games I played were just dance and the adventure game. Some fitness components in the games included cardiovascular endurance, agility, and reaction time. These components are beneficial in the long run because they all can improve your health. The one game I was more involved in was the adventure game only because I liked it better than just dance but I feel that just dance keeps you more active than the adventure game.

The stimulant discussed when used in large amounts that can lead to loss of balance is alcohol. This stimulant affects the liver the most. The cue used to run fast during sprinting is lean forward. The one we had the most trouble with was throwing the javelin up towards the sky. The last cue that was important in the long jump was the layup position and bringing your knees up. I believe I displayed proper sportsmanship during the lesson because I participated in everything even when standing on the side.
