Geocaching
Geocaching is an activity that is new to me that I think is very fun and has lots of potential as a lifelong activity. Geocaching is kind of like a worldwide treasure hunt where people can hide anything from small capsules to large boxes, and they give a hint and GPS location, from there anybody in the world can go and find it. Of course there is a little more too it and some restrictions as to where and what you can hide but if you want anymore information on geocaching you can find it here. I think geocaching would be a great way to introduce technology into a physical education class, its a very fun activity and its also great exercise, i would encourage everybody to give it a try!

Lesson Objectives: (situation,
task, criteria):
Ex. During class, students will demonstrate a
proper kicking motion (step next to ball, opposite foot pointing toward target,
kick ball
with the inside of foot, follow through) 3 out of 5 times).
Cognitive
(understanding knowledge): During class students will be leaning new concepts
of the game continuous kickball. This will be shown through teacher observation
while the students are playing.
Psychomotor
(performance/demonstrates): During class students will learn how to run to an
objective while avoiding obstacles, this will be shown through teacher
observation
Affective
(interpersonal skills): During class the students will learn teamwork by passing
the ball to one another. This will be shown by asking questions at closure
Safety Statement: Make sure shoes are dry. When running around
the cone make sure that running towards the cone everybody is on the left side,
and running away from the cone everybody is on the right side; this is to avoid
any potential collisions. When throwing a ball avoid hitting the head.

Introduction of class:
Hello class, my name is Mr. Peralta and today we are going to
play a game called continuous kickball!
Does anybody think they have heard of continuous kickball
before?
Before we get into how to play we are going to talk about
teamwork, can anybody explain to me the idea of teamwork?
Team work is the idea that everybody works together to reach
a given goal, can anybody tell me why teamwork might be important?
Teamwork lets
everybody have fun together and helps everybody become better friends!
Game Rules:
So now let’s talk about continuous kickball. During this game
we will have two teams, a red team and a blue team. The team that is running
will only have one kick, and once that first kicker passes the second
line(point out) on the court the next person in line is allowed to start
running, once they pass the second line the next person can go and so on. The
runners must run on the left side of the cone(point out) until they run around
the backside of it and run down the right side back to the starting point or
“home”(point out) Players on the defending team must tag the runners with the
ball or throw the ball at them; However defenders who have the ball are not
allowed to move with it, they may pivot(demonstrate). When throwing a ball at a
runner you are not allowed to hit them in the head, if this happens the runner
will not be out. However, if a runner ducks their head into a ball
(demonstrate) they will be considered out. I will call out if people are out
and I will keep track of the amount per round. The point system of this game is
based on amount of people out, not the amount of people who made it home safe;
so the team with the lower score will be the winner. Now remember though, this
game is not about winning or losing, but it’s about working together with your
team. Does anybody have any questions?
Play a round for each team,
Closure:
Heart rates.
Did you all have fun?
Can anybody tell me the name of the game we just played?
What were some safety concerns during continuous kickball?
Can anybody tell me what teamwork is and why is it
important?
END
Lesson Script:
Good morning class my name is Russell, um can I have you- everyone sit on this white line- uh yellow line
Alright so
we are going to play a game today called continuous kickball? Has anyone heard
of that? No? I didn’t expect you to, that’s good it will be a little fun.
So before we get started we are going to talk about teamwork
a little. Does anyone know what teamwork is and why it’s important? Nobody?
Alright wel- you.
(Student respondsing)
And why is it important?
(Student responding)
Yep so
teamwork is working together with your friends and teammates to get everything
working as it should and uh
to reach your goal successfully
So
some safety concerns before we start, you’re going to be running around make
sure your shoes are dry and not wet. And whenever you’re running when your running that way your going to be
running on this side of the white line and when your running back your going to
be running on this side so you don’t hit anybody. And then when your throwing
the ball don’t hit anybody in the head. Ok?
So the basis of the game, there’s genna be two teams ,
theres genna be a kicking team and uh a team that’s getting everyone out, uh the defending team. So the kicking team,
theres only going to be one time when your kicking and uh the one kicker goes first the pitcher
pitches it, the kicker kicks, and then once that kicker runs past this first
cone right here this line. Then that the kicker runs and once they pass that
the next person in line runs they don’t kick they just run. So everyone runs
once and then you run around that cone and come back to pass this cone which is
home and you’re safe. So the defending team, they have to get you out before
you get back to safe so they are scattered around and can move but once you
have the ball you cant move. So these are the balls we are going to be using.
You cant move when you have the ball you can only pivot, you can go back or
forward, you can reach and tag them but you cant run with it, you can only pass
to your teammates. All good?
Let see (Long
pause) um
Im going to have you guys count off by- does anybody have
any questions
These are so this is the line that you uh once you cross this
line, the next person in line can run. So the boundaries are going to be the uh the basketball the
white outer lines. You have to run around the cone to get back to home.
Yeah you have to get back you can only run that way and don’t
hit them in the head when your throwing it. If someone does throw it at and you
kinda like duck into it like use your head as a shield basically im going to
count you out for that because thats just not safe and not smart
Um
all set? Im going to count off by two’s alright?
(Students counting off)
Awesome, so I want ones to grab the blue, and twos to grab
the black
Team two you’re going to be in the field first
Who wants to pitch? Just roll this straight down the line. You
do? Just in the circle just
throw- just throw a nice smooth pass down the middle
(Asking questions)
Yup, yeah one person kicks and then they all run after that once
th- well only one goes at a time past that line, yeah, yeah, and then its one
at a time, yeah.
So I forgot to explain that, can I have everyone listen up
real quick. So the outs the way that works, so the score is based on outs. So the
people with the least amount of outs wins. So im going to call out, when you
get out im going to call you out and then im genna have you get outside so you don’t
hurt- get in the way
of anything, so just leave, and ill call out the outs and keep track of those.
Student: can you demonstrate?
Yeah, yeah. Alright so your going to be after me in line and
your going to be after him. So, so no your just going to run. So shes genna
roll the ball to me Ill kick it and then im going to run, once I get past this
line evan goes, once he passes the line then you can go. Do you guys get it? So
I only kick the ball once, im the first person to kick the ball then its out. So
your run around the cone yeah, do you guys get it. Nothing, you just gottta get
them out. Yeah you can run however you want it just has to be on this side. Exactly.
Alright are you guys all ready?
Is that out? 1! 2! 3! 4! Yeah.. 4 outs, 4 outs on the blue
team
Black team your kicking. 1! 2! 3! 4! Out of bounds- 5! 6! Did
you pass the line? Shes out that’s 7
Alright we are going to switch it up a little over here, you can-you can go either
way now but you need to conscious of where your running alright? So no one can
stand around and get you out like that. Did you guys hear that? So you can go
around either way but you need to be conscious of where everyones at so you don’t
run in to anybody-anybody.
So this way they can’t hover over that and get you out.
Alright. 1! 2! Is he out? 1! 2! 3! 4! Heh! That was a good
try!
Blue team has four, black team your up again, kicking
What a kick! Great job! 1! Cant step cant step doesn’t count,
you cant move! Doesn’t count! They’re at one they’re at one! 2! 3! It skinned
you, it got you. Alright
So blue team has a total of 8 and black team has a total of
10 less points wins
Your losing by 2 you need to get a lot out.
Good kick. 1! Out of bounds 2! 3! Cant run! 4! 5! Alright one
more, black team your up. You need less
than 3 outs here. If you-
if you guys- Its 13 to 10
Student: do you physically have to go around the cone or
just go to the line?
You have to go around the cone
Student: can you hit it back this way
No, it has to pass this line that’s all
You Cant all run at once! Cant all run at once! 1! Out of
bounds 2! 3! 4- it was a close game guys
Blue team end score of 13, black team end score of 14 blue
team won.
Alright can I have everyone come in right here. We are all
winners! Everyone get ready for your heart rate. Ready? Im going to count to
six. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Alright I want everyone to give themselves- everyone give themselves around
of applause we all did good.
Alright so, can anyone tell me the name of that game? Does anyone remember? Continuous kickball
Alright so, can anyone tell me the name of that game? Does anyone remember? Continuous kickball
What were some safety issues with that game? Yup yup, no
headshots good.
Can anyone tell me why teamwork is important?
Student: communication
Alright im all set.
Reflection:
I had 20 filler words. This
surprised me because listening to it, a lot of the lesson sounded awkward. I think
this was because instead of my main issue being the overuse words like um, I would
trip over myself when I was talking which would confuse me and make me repeat
things. I think that I followed my lesson plan pretty well. Something that led
to me having problems was the poor preparation of teaching the rules to the
students. Because I have played the game and knew the rules well already the
way I planned to teach my students the rules didn’t make much sense and it was
confusing to them. This lead to me getting nervous and being unprepared when
they asked questions which resulted in filler words and some pauses. Other than
issues with my explanation of the rules and my responses to questions I think I
followed my original lessons plan very step by step. The order of the
introduction/safety to teamwork to game rules and finally to the conclusion
were consistent in both the lesson plan and in the actual script, overall I think it
was well done. As my first teaching I think being nervous was a clear factor in some slip ups but i think It was a fine job and it has room to improve.

Heart Rate Project
For this project our
class completed a large variety of different activities. Some activities were
very simple and did not require much movement or activity, while others
required a lot of energy and movement. After most of the activities I felt relatively
normal, while during a few of activities that required a bit more participation
than normal I would begin to feel warmed up or even sweaty or tired. I think
that the heart rate readings are accurate but the steps are not. On the
activities that I felt normal after, my heart rates are consistent and on the
lower side. The activities that I was more active in, my heart rates were
higher. This relationship is what I would expect. The steps were much more sporadic,
and I believe it was due to our technology. My first activity which was track
and field warm ups, and I only counted 30 steps. On the last day, I got nearly
800 steps in both activities. Both of these days I was wearing different pedometers
and in different places. The technology used to keep measure of our steps was
just too inconsistent and unreliable for me to consider it accurate.
