1. Intermediate 1/ 2 PE Skills & Techniques Lesson 2

2. Aim of Today’s lesson Quick revision of last weeks lesson What is a subroutine? How do we break down a skill? Cycle of Analysis Consider stage 1 of the Cycle of Analysis – Data Gathering

3. Revision of last Weeks Lesson What is a skill? What is a technique? Give an example of a skill and its techniques. What do we mean by an easy skill? What do we mean by a complex skill?

4. Subroutines Subroutines are the small parts (movements) that make up a skill. Last week in class we broke the forward roll down into preparation, action, recovery. The subroutines involved in this skill fit into either the preparation, action or recovery phase.

5. How do we break a skill down? All skills can be broken down into 3 main areas PREPARATION ACTION RECOVERY A good way to remember these areas is the acronym PAR.

6. Subroutines of a Forward Roll Stand feet together and hands above head. Bend knees. Place hands flat on the ground. Tuck head in. Push off from feet. Roll on your back keeping feet together. Reach forward to stand upright. Raise hands above head to finish. Decide now which subroutines would fit into the preparation, action and recover phases!

7. Subroutines of a Badminton High Serve Preparation Stand side on to the net Racket back Feet apart Action Transfer your weight forward Swing racket back Drop shuttle Contact shuttle below the waist Recovery High follow through with racket Back to base ready for next shot

8. By the end of the block…….. We will perform an apparatus routine, containing our strongest skills, with control and fluency. Before we put together our routine what will we have to do?

9. Cycle of Analysis

10. Stage 1 of Cycle of Analysis: Data Gathering We gathered general data by completing an observation schedule called a skills checklist. Our partner watched us perform various flight, balancing, rotational and inversion skills. We performed each skill 5 times. After our 5 th attempt our partner ticked whether we showed: limited control and fluency, sometimes showed control and fluency, showed good control and fluency, consistently showed a high degree of control and fluency.

11. Why was the data gathering method appropriate? The checklist identified our strengths and weaknesses. Through this we can create a routine containing our strongest skills. Completing an observation schedule gives us a permanent record we can look back upon after practising. Performing each skill 5 times means we got an accurate picture of our ability.

12. Homework Due on Thursday 21 st January 1. What 3 areas have you used to break down skills? 2. Use these areas to breakdown a gymnastic skill of your choice. 3. What are subroutines? 4. Describe how you collected general data on your performance. 5. What made this form of data collection appropriate?
