Sport Pedagogy Lesson Plan (Elementary and Middle School)

Teacher: Lauren Nakaso

Background Information
Date: 21 September 2015

School: Cleveland Elementary

Grade Level: 4th grade and 5th grade

Lesson Focus: Cooperative Learning Dance Unit

# Of students: 20 Students

Equipment and Facilities: 1 Radio Speaker, Music

Created by V.I.C The Wobble, and 25 colorful
polly spots. Cha cha slide

Safety Considerations: The teacher will conduct the

dance activity in a quality learning environment. All
equipment used will be age appropriate and placed
in a safe manner to reduce the risk of any injuries.
Each student will be spaced out accordingly to help
reduce any conflict. The teacher will verbally review
the rules and expectations before the start of the
activity. Before the start of class, the teacher will
have knowledge of any health related issues the
students may have, which will be provided by the
school. If an emergency occur, the teacher will
remain calm while transporting the students to a safe
environment or shelter, based on the situation. If a
student is injured, the teacher will stop the activity
and have the students seated away from the injured
student while the teacher notifies the proper
authorities of the childs injuries. Each student will
be aware of the teachers signals (whistle). All
equipment will be placed on the ground/ floor while
the teacher is providing instructions and the students
hands will be placed on or above their heads.

quietly on the green bench for not following

directions, misbehaving, or any behavior that is not
allowed in Tiger Pride. The student will sit out for the
remainder of the activity. If a fight occurs, an adult
supervisor will be called to detain the students who
were engaged in the altercation. The rest of the
students will be seated out the way of harm until the
situation has been resolved.
Teaching Strategy: I will start the lesson using the
command style teaching strategy. The instruction will
be provided by using an interactive approach and
verbal cues to assist the students in understanding
the COTS that will be used during the dance activity.

Student
Objectives:

Academic Language: Some academic languages that

will be used are dynamic and static stretches.
Students will understand the differences between the
two. The students will also understand the purpose of
raising their heart rates and how to raise their heart
rates. Students will gain a strong sense of
understanding the importance of cooperative learning
during the dance module. Students will also
understand why spatial awareness is important during
busy activities such as dance.

Psychomotor (P): SWBAT successfully demonstrate the COTS for the dance unit while
participating in MVPA with 75% success rate.
Cognitive (C): SWBAT to find a way to work together as a class to help unfreeze their
classmates in the instant activity. I will start the lesson using the command style teaching
strategy. Using an interactive approach and verbal cues to assist the students in understanding
the techniques that will be used during the activities will provide the instruction.
H-R Fitness (H): SWBAT remain actively engaged in MVPA at least 50% of the time during
the duration of the dance unit.
