Overview

MNO Mini Unit Plan


Assignment

In this assignment you will develop a mini unit plan comprised of an


overview and rational, a performance task and rubric, three
consecutive lessons and associated rationales, and a final reflective
blog. Elements of this assignment will be graded by instructors in
your C&I, Assessment, Psychology and Education Technology modules
(see chart below to see which elements will be assessed by which
module instructor).
The three lesson plans should be carefully linked to scaffold learning.
Moreover, they should demonstrate knowledge about the
development of lesson objectives to attend to curricular outcomes,
differentiated instruction, and the establishment of a productive
learning environment. They should also attend to learning theory,
and assessment theory. One of your three lessons should incorporate
the use of technology.
The rationale for instructional decisions should incorporate concepts
learned in PSI across each module in order to demonstrate the
strategic (rather than intuitive) nature of pedagogical decisionmaking.
This assignment is due by Oct. 27.
Your mini-unit must focus on Grade 1-6 curriculum outcomes from the
Alberta Program of Studies.
This template must be posted to your ePortfolio by the due date.
Check with each module instructor regarding specific expectations for
submission.

Lesson Plan Rationale


On the pages that follow you will be required to complete a series of lesson plan
summaries and reflections. For each lesson, regardless of the module you are completing
the reflection for, your summary description of the lesson will be the same (do not tailor
these summaries for each module, simply cut and paste them.
Follow the module specific instructions for each rationale required.

Mini-Unit Assignment

For this aspect of the assignment, you now need to view your lesson plans from an assessment perspective. Review
each lesson plan analyzing the consideration given to knowledge and skills you have gained in 3504 with respect to
the use and design of formative assessment strategies, assessment information use, and scaffolding toward
summative tasks. To guide your response give thought to the following.
1. How is your lesson designed to scaffold toward your final performance tasks?
2. What core assessment concepts are guiding your design choices?
3. How are you using formative assessment strategies and the information collected from them to guide your
sequence of lessons.
Ensure that you fully defend each salient point you wish to bring out.

The triple threat lesson breaks the


game play basketball skills down
into chunks or discrete skills.
Triple threat position is the first
and most important basic skill to
learn first before game play in
basketball. It is the proper and
foundational way to stand on the
court when you are in possession
of the basketball. It is especially
important for grade 8 students to
learn proper triple threat stance
when they have the ball because
most grade 8s turn their back to
the court and lose all control once
they receive the ball.

To guide my sequence of
lessons:
I am having students
practice their skills around
the gym in pairs and
groups so that I can
circulate and observe their
level of skill, development,
progression and their
understanding of the skill

The passing and receiving


lesson breaks the game play
basketball skills down into
chunks or discrete skills.
Passing and recieving are
keys skills that need to be
learned as discrete skills on
the wall or with a partner
before incorporating them
into game play. Sending and
receiving are imperative skill
to learn before game play in
basketball. This is how a team
works together to move the
ball around the court. It is
another way to advance the
ball down the court when a
player is in possession of the
basketball. It is especially
important for grade 8
students to learn how to pass
and receive before
attempting game play.
This discrete skill lesson on
passing/receiving is a
fundamental successful game
play and ball control.
I am teaching basic skills
separately to scaffold, or
provide baby steps,
towards successful full game
play for the grade 8 students.
I develop the basic basketball
skills first before progressing
to game play because game
play is a higher level of skill
execution and more
challenging to execute skills
during game play the
students learn the skills well,
practice repetitively and then
advance
I also include differentiated
instruction for students who
have physical diversity or
who experience difficulty with
basketball skills
I am teaching the basic skills
of basketball on separate

about student learning.
My strategies are triangulated
to include: observation,
student-teacher
conversations, and student
products.
I am gathering information about
learning by:

Designing tasks that provide


students with a variety of
ways to demonstrate their
learning;

Observing students as they


perform tasks;

Posing questions to help


students hone their sportspecific skills; and

Creating teams, pairs and


groups for peer coaching and
feedback to further their
understanding and skill
acquisition

Mini-Unit Assignment

Connections to Learning Theories &


Demonstration of Attention to a
Classroom Structure and Climate
The Learning Theory Concepts
that are evident/incorporated in
this plan and Child
Development:
Physical & Motor Development is
considered in this plan because it is
important to understand gross
motor and fine motor skill
development while making age
appropriate lesson plans in PE. For
children, growing up means getting
bigger, stronger and more
coordinated. Gross motor skills are
improving. Muscles grow and the
brain develops to better integrate
information about movements.
Balance improves and the center of
gravity lowers so students are able
to run, jump, climb and hop. I need
to be aware of this in PE. Fine motor
skills require the coordination of
small movements and these fine
motor skills are developing in grade
8 students. Students will have
developed a preference for their
right or left hand by grade 8 (usually
a predominant hand by age 5
emerges in play). Through the school
years, physical development is
steady in students they become

taller, leaner and stronger as the


progress through junior high and
high school, so they are better able
to master sports and games.
Physical development learning
theory further informs this this mini
unit in terms of play and learning.
Psychologists believe that play
allows children to experiment safely
as they learn about their
environment, try out new behaviors
in the gymnasium and adapt to
perform movement skills on a team.
Play is an active form of learning
that unites the mind, body and spirit
(Woolfolk, Winne & Perry, 2013).
Levels of physical activity needs
increase from early elementary
years to junior high.
Vygotskys social learning
theory is evident in this unit. The
role I play as a more knowledgeable
PE teacher and basketball sport
culture leads to skill learning and
development in the basketball unit.
Social learning is occurring in the
gym when students work in pairs
and on teams. The students
knowledge about sport specific skills
is co-constructed through a social
process in the gym. Sociocultural
theory is evident. I have dialogue
with the students about basketball
terms, technique and jargon.
Scaffolding is evident in the unit
because game play skills are broken
down into steps and discrete
skills/movements.
The ZPD is the phase at which the
students can master the basketball
skill if I give them appropriate help
and support i.e. I demonstrate the
skill, other students model, I provide
oral communication, verbal
feedback, criteria, handouts and the
rubric.

Learning Theories Contd


Complex Cognitive Processes
The brain plays are large part in
motor control and movement. During
basketball skill acquisition, students
are going through the 3 parts of
metacognition:
1)Planning which skill they are
going to execute and when
2)Monitoring the skill they are
practicing
3)Evaluation deciding whether they
have met the criteria for the skill
The students are mastering this skill
in 3 phases: Acquisition, Retention &
Transfer
Brain & Cognitive Development
While practicing and performing
basketball skills during the lessons,
the brain is directing motor
movement. Neurons in the brain
store and transfer information.
Axons send the signal and the
dendrites receive the signal.
Neurotransmitters cross the
synapse, sending a message for
muscles to contract or relax which
causes coordinated body
movements during the skill
execution.
Working memory focuses attention
while the students are playing
basketball.
Operant conditioning and ABA is
evident in the verbal feedback
(reinforcement) that I provide to
the students after they demonstrate
a skill.

Mini-Unit Assignment

Consideration for Motivation of a


Wide Range of Learners
In my lesson, I considered
motivation in learning and
teaching grade 8 physical
education. I considered the internal
state that arouses, directs and
maintains behavior in students in PE.
In my lesson I acknowledge that
students have different
achievement orientations. In the
design of my lesson I built in
reinforcement and verbal feedback
to increase extrinsic motivation.
Students are motivated by external
factors such a high points on the
rubric scoring guide during game
play. I encouraged students to follow
the criteria to foster possible
intrinsic motivation to learn the
basketball skills for the performance
task. Some students may have
intrinsic motivation that is
associated with purely the personal
satisfaction of learning the
basketball skill. I considered that
there would be a wide range of
learners in my gymnasium that have
different approaches to
motivation (perspectives)
including: behavioral, humanistic,
cognitive, social and
sociocultural. I understood that
Maslows basic physiological
needs (such as food and clothing)
need to be met before higher level
basketball skills can be learned. If
deficiency needs arent met,
students will not be motivated nor
physically ready to learn sport skills.
To promote self-determination in
my gymnasium, I explain the
importance of the sport learning

activities and allow students so selfselect their groups for skill learning.
In the performance task,
performance orientation comes
into play because there is a winning
orientation in game play and the
students know they will scored on a
rubric. Mastery-orientation (that
may appeal to other students and
increase motivation) is occurring
during lessons 1-4 when students
are first learning the skills, focusing
on the task not the ability. I foster
self-regulatory learning whereby I
give the students a handout, the
basic skill criteria and the rubric to
support their goals in PE, planning
towards game play and selfmonitoring of skill acquisition. For
students with sport anxiety, I am to
keep anxiety low during game play
by encouraging students to focus on
having fun! Sports and PE are
intended to be fun! To engage
unmotivated students in game
play, I promote a need for affiliation
in the students i.e. being with others
on a team and building relationships
with their peers through sport. I tell
the class that peer approval and
inclusion on the team of 3 is
important. To motivate
uninterested students I maintain a
positive relationship with them, stay
patient, teach strategies. To
motivate discouraged students I
remove the fear of failure by
assuring them that participating will
provide them with adequate points
on the rubric to pass/do well.

communication and dealing with discipline.


Effective Gymnasium Structure Components
that I considered:
1. Communication I gave clear
instructions. I was precise and allowed
time for clarification and questions. I
wrote instructions down in an advanced
organizer on the gymnasium whiteboard. I
clearly identified the criteria for the 5
basic skills.
2. Starting a Lesson Wait until all students
paying attention. I started the lesson with
a Hook/Attention grabber a video for
modelling of other basketball players in
game play. I transitioned to an advanced
organizer and then organized the teams
before everyone spread out across the
gymnasium.
3. Maintaining Attention I maintained
attention by keeping instructions clear,
brief and succinct. If I need to gain
attention of the whole gymnasium with
students spread out, I blow my whistle.
4. Pacing The pace of games is maintained
by the digital game clock on the wall. I am
aware of my teaching and talking tempo.
5. Transitions Transitions between
instructions and game play are smooth and
planned. I maintain the flow of games and
fun. I have the students move on and off
the court swiftly to avoid wasted playing
time. I know ahead of time which court
the teams are on next.
6. Gymnasium Space The entire gym
space is utilized. 3-on-3 teams play on
half-court. The other students are sitting
on benches safely along the wall. The
center court ring is used for whole class
Q&A so that all students can hear the
discussion.

For problem behaviors during game


play, if I see a foul, I will blow the
whistle and call the foul. If student
behaviors are disrupting game play
or observation of game play, I could
impose a penalty or move the
student to a different area of the
gym. If I see problem behaviors
occurring during game play, when I
am busy using the rubric scoring
guide I will use nonverbal cues,
move closer in proximity, keep the
game play going, redirect the

behavior and/or give needed


instruction. If the behavior is very
disruptive, I could assertively tell the
student to stop or provide the
student with choices.

Instructions for Game Day


Basketball Facts and Game Play before you play 3-on-3 on Friday
Basketball is a team sport in which two play each other to score points against one another by
shooting a basketball through a 10 high hoop under organized rules.
Shooting the ball through the basket scores points, the team with more points at the end of the
game wins.
The ball can be advanced on the court by dribbling it or passing it between teammates.
Disruptive physical contact is not permitted and there are restrictions on how the ball can be
handled.
Scoring
o Baskets made within the 3-point line are worth 2 points.
o Baskets made beyond the 3-point line are worth 3 points.
o Basket made from the free throw line given as a result of a foul are worth 1 point.
You will be playing 3-on-3 on half of the court

Fouls
A foul is when a player breaks a rule of basketball while making physical contact with another
player.
If the player was fouled in the act of shooting, this results in the player taking free throw shots.
The player is
awarded 1 shot if the basket was made during the foul, 2 shots if the basket was not made and
was taken within the
3-point line, and 3 shots if the basket was not made and the shot was taken from beyond the 3point line.
Players who are fouled not in the act of shooting typically receive the ball out of bounds at a
location on the court closest to the infraction.

Mini-Unit Assignment

The most common fouls can be found in the Key Terms section of this handout

Positions
Although the rules do not specify any positions whatsoever, they have evolved as part of
basketball. The following are the
basic 5 positions:
Two Guards
Two Forwards
One Center
Shooting
The most common shot used is the jump shot.
The jump shot is taken while in mid-air, near the top of the jump.
This provides much greater power and range, and it also allows the player to elevate over the
defender.
Failure to release the ball before returning the feet to the ground is a traveling violation.
Another common shot is called the layup.
This shot requires the player to be in motion toward the basket, and to "lay" the ball "up" and into
the basket, typically off the backboard.
Passing
The chest pass - The ball is passed directly from the passer's chest to the receiver's chest.
The bounce pass -Here, the passer bounces the ball crisply about two-thirds of the way from his
own chest to the receiver.
The ball strikes the court and bounces up toward the receiver.
The overhead pass - is used to pass the ball over a defender. The ball is released while over the
passer's head.

Key Terms
Traveling: A violation in which the ball-handler moves both feet to a different spot on the floor without
dribbling.
Double Dribble: A violation in which the ball-handler dribbles with both hands or when the ball-handler
dribbles, picks up the dribble (stops dribbling) then dribbles again.
Carrying: A violation in which the player's hand is underneath the ball while dribbling.
Back Court: A violation that occurs when a team has established ball control in the front half court, then
returns the ball to the backcourt.
Kicking: A violation where the player is deemed to have kicked the ball.
Charging: A foul where the ball-handler makes contact with a player whom has already established
position on the court.
Hacking: A foul in which a defender makes contact with the shooter on the arm or wrist while in the act of
shooting.
Reaching: A foul in which a defender makes contact with the ball-handler while reaching-in an attempt to
steal the ball.
Key: The area on the court that is located under the basket and in front of the free throw line (see court
diagram)
Pivot: When a player establishes one foot as the pivot foot; that foot must remain touching the floor until a
ball handler who has stopped dribbling is ready to pass or shoot.
Back Board: The rectangular structure, 6' x 3 1/2', to which the basket is attached.
Rebound: When a player grabs a ball that is coming off the rim or backboard after a shot attempt.
Player-to-Player Defense (Man to Man): The defensive style where each defensive player is responsible
for guarding one opponent.
