Formative Assessments

Pedometer Logs:

Each day at the beginning of each class period students will collect their pedometer and

wear it while they are in class. After class is over, students will fill out their pedometer

sheet and turn it back into me for a grade. On this log, students will document the date,

number of steps they took, how many miles this is equivalent to, if they reached their

goal or not, how long they were active, and what the topic of the day was.

Journals/Reflections:

Students are required to fill out a journal entry after every class period. Individuals must

reflect on the lesson by identifying the topic, explaining whether why they liked or

disliked the lesson, how they improved their cardiovascular endurance, and plan

walking/jogging activities for themselves to do out of class time. I will collect their

journals either after every class period, or every Friday to check for completion.

Heart Rate Logs:

During various lessons, students will be wearing heart rate monitors. Although not listed

in the secondary unit plan, these logs will be given on various days of the unit. After each

station, students will check their heart rate, and document it on a sheet of paper. At the

end of the lesson, students will answer questions on how to find their max heart rate, the

ideal zone they should be in, and which activities put them where. Each student will turn

this in at the end of class for me to grade.

Teacher Observation:
 On various days of the unit, I will carry around a checklist of the concepts/topics of the

day, or previously learned, and assess students on their ability to execute them correctly.

For example, I may have a checklist of the three cues of jogging. Throughout the lesson I

would evaluate each student on their form.

Peer Observation:

On various days of the unit, I may have students assessing their peers. Students may need

to fill out an exit slip on their partner before leaving the gym. For example, one student

may need to perform one cue of jogging, and the other marks on the checklist if they

demonstrate it correctly or not.

Open-Response Questions:

Students may be give a few scenarios about weather conditions and attire, and will have

to describe what they think the best answer is. Much life real-life situations, there is more

than one correct answer. However, students must mention key points learned in the lesson

in order to receive full credit.
