OUTCOMES FROM ALBERTA PROGRAM OF STUDIES

General
Students will acquire locomotor skills through various activities that involve individual and group
Learning
participation in creative manor.
Outcomes:
Specific -Students will learn basic skills- locomotor movements eg. Walking, running, hopping, jumping, sliding,
Learning propulsion through water.
Outcomes: -Students will learn about the importance of physical education and how it progresses basic locomotor skills
that can contribute to physical health.
-A4-2: Students will consistently and confidently perform locomotor skills and combination of skills, by using
elements of body and space awareness, effort and relationships to a variety of stimuli to improve personal
performance

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will:
1. Demonstrate their knowledge of basic locomotor movements through various activities
2. Demonstrate their understanding of the instruction through participation
ASSESSMENTS (How I will know students have achieved the objective(s))
At the end of the lesson, each student will fill out a questionnaire and self assess themselves, this process will suggesting
that they:
1. Will be able to teach the discipline comfortably
2. Possibly could teach the discipline, with some extra assistance
3. Do not feel comfortable teaching the discipline because of lack of knowledge and confidence
4. Will grade their efforts out of a 3 point scale- (self assessment for personal use)
Depending on the outcome, I will know according to the feedback if my lesson was affective, if it created comfort and
confidence and if I supplied a solid knowledge base.
Summative assessment will be the self-assessment, and the formative assessment will be myself looking if my students are
participating and grasping the concepts of the activities introduced.
Prior to the Lesson MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
Prepare any materials that will help aid in my lesson- (paper Music (phone), paper with locomotor skills written on
with locomotor movements on them) them, group of students, wide space where students can
Find an area that is open and able to have students freely move freely in
move around in
PROCEDURE
Introduction Time
Teacher will: Introduce the lesson and how the 20 minutes will unfold by: 4-5 mins
-Today we will be participating in a series of mini games that will help you to understand the importance of
physical education and how important it is to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. Physical Education is a great
way to introduce everyday skills by also introducing other subject areas within fun and creative activities.
-It is important to note that the aim of physical education is to enable individuals to develop the knowledge,
skills, and attitudes that will help to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.
-Physical Education can help with managing life skills, managing health, and learning the fundamentals of
participation, and working with others.
-The goal of physical education is to incorporate active living, skill development, positive interaction, self
confidence, goal setting, economic factors- which explains that if one leads a healthy and active lifestyle, one
will spend less on healthcare because they will not have to seek to better their health on an everyday basis,
also academic achievement is also considered in physical education, because a healthy and active body
equals a healthy mind
Teacher will:
-Explain that there are 4 general outcomes to physical education

1. Acquire skills through a variety of games that we will be participating in today, each game is a little bit
different but will help to aid in an insightful mind about physical education and the importance of teaching
the subject
2.Explain that it is crucial to understand the benefits of physical activity
3. Explain the importance of working with others
4. Explain that the student is responsible for their health and they are responsible for being their own leader
into a healthy and active lifestyle.
To show you how to achieve these learning outcomes we will be engaging in the 11 locomotor basic
movements (minus propulsion through water, because obviously we do not have any water located in the
building, unless we were to go to the pool)
The 11 basic locomotor movements are: Walking, running, hopping, jumping, leaping, rolling, skipping,
galloping, climbing, sliding, propulsion through water
Students will:
-Be sitting quietly listening to the teacher explain the importance of Physical Education
Body Time
Introduction of activities: 10 mins
(5 mins each)
Teacher will:
-List the activities the class will be participating in today
-Today we will be participating in a variety of activities, the first called solid, liquid, gas and the second
crazy taxi. If we have time we will be participating in Shreks All Star warm up game.

1. Solid, Liquid, Gas-Have students stand in general space. Explain to students what a molecule is. Solid
molecules are molecules that do not move. Liquid molecules have minimal movement and gas molecules can
jump and float and go wherever they please. Explain that there will be music playing and when the teacher
calls out a certain state, liquid means students must start to gallop around the space (show a gallop), when
the teacher calls out gas the students will jump up and down in their personal space (show how to jump up
and down) and when the teacher calls out solid the students will stand still. When the music stops, students
will call out what solid, liquid, or gas they are. Teacher will call on each student in this case of a small group
individually. For example, students can be ice cream, smoke, water, steam etc.
Variation: After students call out what solid, liquid or gas they are, they can figure out who is grouped with
whom.
-Repeat this game 3x.
Teacher will: Firstly give instruction of what each solid, liquid and gas are with examples of each.
Solid- Definite shape and volume ex. Ice
Liquid- Definite volume but will take shape of a container ex. Water
Gas- Does not have a definite shape, will fill the entire volume of a container ex. Vapour
Formative Assessment: Are students participating? Do the students understand the concepts? Are the
students engaged in the activity? If not, change up the game, make a different variation.
2.Crazy Taxi- Half of the group of students will be given a piece of paper with a specific locomotor skill on it,
those students will perform the task on the piece of paper. Those students will go around the rest of the
students and ask them to get in the taxi and the person asked will go behind the taxi driver and mimic the
skill. The goal is to get each participant that is not a cab driver to be participating a locomotor skill in each
cab.
Variation: After the students have gone through one or two times getting into different taxis, give the group a
variation using a different pathway- the cab driver must lead the cab in a: straight, curved or zig zagged
pathway.
Teacher will: Give out the pieces of paper with the locomotor movements on them, tell the students to go
and get the cab drivers to try and get passengers into their cabs.

Formative Assessment: Are students participating? Do they understand the concepts? Are the students
engaged in the activity? If not, change up the game, make a different variation.

Closure Time
Teacher will: Hand out assessment
-Prompt class to come in closer, and all meet as a class and discuss the class period
-In wrapping up the class period of activities we will be participating in a small assessment to measure what
has be taught today and what you may or may not have gotten out of the activities
-Teacher will hand out an assessment to each student
-Teacher will explain that this is a summative assessment- This is an assessment where you can assess what
you have learned today and what you may need to improve on. This form of assessment is great because it
5 mins
allows for honesty to tell whether or not improvement needs to be done and or what you did great at during
the activities
-The assessment also will tell if you have met the learning objectives and if you understand the connection of
the activities and the lesson idea- Students will learn about the importance of physical education and how it
progresses basic locomotor skills that can contribute to physical health. Students will learn this through
participating in a variety of developmentally appropriate activities; dance, games, types of gymnastics,
individual activities and activities in an alternative environment; eg. aquatics and outdoor pursuits.

Shreks All star Warm up

Sponge Activity/Activities
Purpose: To get students more practice with motor skills during a warm up game
Prerequisites: Students need to know how to perform several locomotor movements
Description: Students will move around the gym in either clockwise or counter clockwise
fashion. They will perform the movement that is suggested by me- Who will yell it out (e.g.,
skip, hop, etc.) I play the song "All Star" by Smashmouth it seems to fit the theme pretty good.
You can have the movements switch automatically, or just do it manually for how long you
want.

Reflections:
-How do I know my learning objectives were met?
-What went well in the lesson?
-In what ways would you improve the lesson in the future?
-How did you engage your learners?
-Did your students learn a basis of the locomotor movements?
- Walking, running, hopping, jumping, leaping, rolling, skipping, galloping, climbing, sliding, (propulsion through
water)- Not In this lesson.
