PHED 239 Module 4: High School Physical Fitness/Wellness Block Plan Assignment 50 points

Due: Wednesday, November 20th The purpose of this assignment is for you to design a block plan for a physical fitness/wellness unit you can offer at your high school. Physical fitness and wellness should be an integral component of a physical education curriculum. According to the NASPE standards, achieving and maintaining a health-enhancing level of physical fitness is part of being a physically educated person. It is important for students to develop the knowledge, attitudes, motor skills, behavioral skills, and self-confidence needed to adopt and maintain a physically active lifestyle. Promoting and encouraging lifetime physical activity at the high school level has tremendous benefits to our youth. For this assignment, the foci will be the health-related components of cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. One or more of these components will be the focus/foci for the day. It is recommended to cover cardiovascular endurance the first day of your unit to ensure that you are teaching important content such as heart rate, proper warm-up and cool down, etc. There are four (4) days in your physical fitness/wellness unit, and each class period is 50 minutes. The class size is twenty-four (24) students. NO REPEAT content! Circuit training used a maximum of two (2) out of the four (4) days! CONTENT REQUIREMENTS: Indicate your unit outcomes what you want students to achieve by the end of the unit (By the end of the unit, TSWBAT . . .) one for each domain (cognitive, psychomotor, affective). Cite NASPE and MA CF Standards. List all the equipment, facilities, materials available at your high school include quantity. Be realistic will your school really have 24 elliptical machines? Indicate the focus/outcomes of each lesson (i.e. cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility). Indicate what equipment, materials, and technology is needed for each individual lesson and include quantity of each (i.e. jump ropes, music, clipboards, pencils, TV/monitor, videos, free weights, stationary bikes, nautilus machines, jump ropes, steps, yoga mats, physioballs, etc.). Informing - provide the information about stop/start signals, safety concerns, definitions of important concepts (i.e. muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, cardio vascular endurance - what it is, why/purpose, benefits). Other examples include - free weights versus nautilus, how to use heart rate monitors and pedometers, understand the FITT Principle, progressive overload, specificity, intensity, circuit training stations, what is yoga and Pilates, etc. Refining - provide the skill cues or critical elements that will help the students become more efficient in performing each skill or task and include one extension for each skill. Learning activities - detail the sequence of the lesson, list warm-up, each activity/station, length of each activity/station, number of repetitions/sets, rotation, cool down.

Indicate at least one different method of assessment per day (journals, workout log, FITNESSGRAM tests, etc.).
