Theory Lesson 2: Teaching Points

2. Evaluate your recent lesson/s. What went well, what could we improve on? Warm Up/ Skill Development/ Game/ Communication/ Equipment etc
Think of another way you could have delivered the lesson to make an improvement. (Smaller games, time limit opposed to sitting down etc)
Starter task – 5 mins

3. General feedback from this week
Positive
Planning is good (from the jotters I have seen)
Adapting during the lesson to improve experience
Structure
Working well as a class and enjoying activities!
Negative
Delays in between warm up/ Skill/ Game
Aim not clear at the start/ Reviewed at end
Some people taking more lead with delivery than others

Individual Task

5. Lesson Planning Activity*
Aim – The purpose of the lesson. E.g to develop the lay up in Basketball.
Numbers – How many people are taking part? Are there non participants?
Equipment – What do I need? E.g 4 basketballs, cones, bibs
Lesson Planning

6. Lesson Planning Describe the following in your plan!
Warm up (3- 5 mins) – To raise heart rate and to appropriately prepare participants for activity.
Skill Development (8-10 mins) – Focus on a particular skill. Give Teaching points/ Demonstrations. E.g Lay up – Draw diagrams to make clearer!
Games (15 – 20 mins). – Give participants the opportunity practice their skill within a game. Can also make conditions to focus on the skill if appropriate.
Plenary – 2-3 mins – Use the time at the end to provide Feedback and next steps.
Lesson Planning

7. Lay Up Teaching Points (Example)
The opposite foot to the hand laying up the ball is jumped off.
The leg on the same side as the hand laying up the ball is driven up to help provide lift.
When the ball is picked up from the dribble the ball must come to make contact on the top of the chest and chin.
Once the ball is picked up, a player’s eyes should be focused on the basket
Once the ball is raised past the forehead of the player the two hands separate and the inside arm extends to protect the body and ball from defenders to the front and side
The shooting hand should extend fully pushing through the ball and finishing with a flick of the wrist.
The ball should make a light touch off the backboard and into the basketball hoop
Lay Up Teaching Points (Example)

8. Write down the teaching points for at least 2 skills for an activity of your choice. (Basketball- Lay up, Bounce pass, Chest Pass, Badminton - Overhead Clear, Net Shot etc)
If finished plan your next lesson based to include the improvements you have listed at the start of the lesson.
Or plan the lesson you have delivered if it is not already in your Leadership jotters.
