1. Develop proper underhand throw techniques
2. Develop aiming skills
3. Work on hand-eye coordination |

4. Objectives-
|
1. Students will demonstrate proper underhand throw techniques
2. Students will be able to, using underhand throw, transfer a beanbag
from their hands into a hula hoop a short distance away
3. Students will verbalize why it is important to let go of the beanbag
at a specific point |

6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-
1. Warm up: One lap around the gym and 5 jumping jacks, followed
by a teacher led stretch
2. Explain that we will be working on and developing proper underhand
throwing technique using beanbags and also developing some hand-eye
coordination skills too
3. Explain the rules to the students: they are to line up, receive
one beanbag and hula hoop and find an area where they have plenty
of personal space
4. Explain what freeze means: Students are to drop their beanbag,
put their hands on their hands and face the teacher
5. Hand out equipment and remind students what to do when they find
their space |

B. Development-
1. Freeze! Once all eyes are on the teacher, the teacher will explain
and demonstrate proper underhand throw. Ask students to mirror the
teachers movement with whatever hand feels the most comfortable
2. Teacher will demonstrate and explain the throw with an object in
their hand. Have students mirror this as well, without focusing on
getting the beanbag in the hula hoop
3. Now the teacher will demonstrate and explain proper throw with
an object, aiming for the hula hoop. Emphasis on when we should let
go of the beanbag |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. Have the students practice their throwing without worrying about
the hula hoop first, correcting any improper techniques quickly
2. Once students have the technique fairly well done, have them practice
with the hula hoop. Model again if needed |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1. If students are having a hard time aiming for their hula hoop,
have them just practice proper throw, focusing on getting it past
a certain line
2. If students feel the hula hoop is too easy, have them take 3 steps
back and try throwing from a greater distance
3. Have students see if they can get 5 or 10 throws in a row, 5 regular
steps from their hula hoop |
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1. Remove the hula hoop for students who find the aiming difficult
and focus only on releasing the beanbag at the appropriate time and
getting it to go past a certain point
2. Propose a more challenging distance for those students who are
doing very well and finding the assignment too easy |
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1. Demonstrate improper underhand throw techniques and ask "Is this
right? What do I have to change?"
2. Ask students why it is important to let go of the beanbag at a
certain point. Demonstrate with having the arm at different levels
and say "What would happen if I let go of it here?" |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
1. Cool down: Have each student bring their equipment back to the
teacher and sit in a circle. Practice deep breathing if time permits
2. Tell students that did a great job showing their underhand throwing
skills and thank them for their hard work. |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
1. Students can be evaluated by demonstrating proper technique in
underhand throw, either with an object or without
2. Students can write an explanation of why it is important to let
go of an object at a certain point |
