This was the first Health unit I taught at Upper Moreland Middle School during my student teaching practicum. There was a high level of comfortably with this specific unit. Not only am I an experienced athlete, but I was also exposed to these topics at Penn State University in multiple courses.

I decided to go with a Prezi presentation as my instructional method. A Prezi is a fancier, more interactive version of PowerPoint. I see most teachers using p[PowerPoint, so I figured using Prezi would help capture the student’s attention, which I think it did. Students were answering questions, lots of questions and comments as well from a high percentage of students. Within the Prezi there were a bunch of different videos. I explained the fitness components first and we as a class discussed different reasons for their importance and gave examples of when it is important to have these components. For the skill components I decided to play a video of a professional athlete using one of the skills and have the students guess what it is before defining and discussing it. The students loved this. Videos, especially short ones are usually great ways to capture the student’s attention, but posing it as a trivia type question as well also pays dividends. Locking down the components and skills was the main cognitive objective of the lesson.

In order to measure how much the students learned I was originally going to assess them by completing a worksheet where exercises were given and they need to specify which component or skill they were improving. I decided against that and decided to with the game. I broke the class up into three teams, based upon where they were sitting. I then used the worksheet as the trivia questions for the game. Students loved this and the engagement level was incredibly high. It was a great way to see what the students had retained and what they still needed a little help on. They had the components down pretty well, but were a little sketchy on the skills. Next time I would make sure to have specific examples corresponding with each slide on the Prezi.

The final step of the unit lesson was to have our formal assessment. Students paired up and were directed to choose any athlete they wanted to do a breakdown of fitness components and skills. It was really interesting seeing the differences in the athletes being chosen. Before assigning the project I was worried that everyone was going to pick LeBron James or a similar athlete in popularity. It turns out that not one group even picked LeBron James. We had groups choose dancers, gymnasts, swimmers, a bowler, they really hit on a ton of different sports. For the project itself they for the most part did a really great job of following the rubric and making the posters look neat and creative. There were a couple groups however that didn’t read the directions nor ask for help and their grade suffered. Overall, the class average on the project was a _______ and I came away with many great examples to show future classes.

I would most definitely like to teach this lesson again in the future. I would absolutely tweak the Prezi a bit with more specific examples. I really liked the review game and would keep that in the future. The projects came out really well and the kids loved doing them. My only switch there would be to make sure that the students use the rubric so they don’t miss any points. My idea is to have them use the rubric to grade themselves and until they feel they have a 100% project they shouldn’t hand it in.
