Lesson Objectives
As a result of this lesson, students will be able to:
List the three key teaching points of throwing aa discuss throughout the circuit when asked and at the end of the lesson
State the importance of the safety talked about at the beginning of the lesson and employ what was talked about throughout the rest of
the lesson
Employ ethical and responsible behaviour whilst completing the circuit
Demonstrate an understanding of throwing a discus by using their index finger to rotate it
Evaluate links between different throws in athletics and establish what facilitates these throws (angles etc.)
LESSON EVALUATION
Assessment of Lesson Objectives and Suggestions for Improvement:
At the end of the lesson, the teacher should consider:
Were ALL students able to list the three key teaching points of discus? Were they confident in their answer? How could you, as a teacher,
have made it easier to remember these KTPs?
Did all students state the importance of safety and did they demonstrate this throughout the lesson? How could you as a teacher provided a
safer environment for the students
Could all students use their finger to rotate the discuss? How did you achieve this if so? How could you have alternatively achieved this if not?
Did ALL students show ethical and responsible behaviour throughout circuit? If not, how could this be managed or avoided?
Were ALL students in agreement about the different throws in athletics? Were some students able to come up with links without being
prompted by teacher?
Teacher self-reflection and self-evaluation:
At the end of the lesson, the teacher should reflect on:
Did the students seem engaged in the lesson?
What activities were all the students really interested in? Why do you think that?
What activities did students seem bored or misbehave? Why do you think that?
Did all students get something out of the lesson (EALD, GT and SAER)?
HLTH2203 Jan 2019
How could I have actively engaged the students in the lesson more?
Were my instructions clear?
Was my layout easy to work with when changing activities?
Did my bridging organizations facilitate my lesson?
How could I improve this lesson for next time?
LESSON PROGRESSION
3 min Motivation and Introduction:
Begin the lesson by greeting the whole class and taking roll. Then introduce the what is happening in the
lesson.
“Today we will be continuing with our athletics unit and doing discus. We will just be recapping what we should already
know about discus and then doing a circuit. We really want to focus on the stations in this circuit to improve because
today is the only day we get to do our throws, so make sure we are utilizing all of the time we have.”
Once this has been introduced, begin explaining the warm up and begin activity.
