SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE - DAILY LESSON PLAN

NAME: ___Jules Barrasso DATE: ___2/2-2/6___ TIME: _35 or 40 min_

SCHOOL: ___Jackson Street Elementary LESSON#: 1 FACILITIES: Gym CLASS
SIZE: 16-21 GRADE: 3-5 UNIT/THEME: volleyball GENERIC LEVEL: control
EQUIPMENT: 1. 3 volleyball nets 2. 15 volleyballs (trainers) 3. 10 cones
FOCUS OF LESSON: striking an object using hands
STUDENT PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES (SPO):
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

(P) Students will perform the underhand serve using 3 skill cues learned in class during practice
and game play ( MA CF 2.2)
(C) Explore what open space looks like and how to utilize it when playing newcomb ( MA CF
2.1)
(A) Keep a positive attitude throughout the lesson and give out at least 1 piece of positive
feedback to another student (2.7)
Check each objective: Is it specific? Is it achievable? Is it developmentally appropriate?

TEACHER PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES - During the lesson the teacher will:

1. Identify and reinforce all safety for volleyball throughout the lesson.
2. Give students at least 3 different motivational objectives throughout the lesson to improve
overall effort.
3. Say the name of everyone in the class at least once throughout the lesson

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the
students in this class?
Students will be practicing serving, so everyone has to be aware of volleyballs that will be in the
air and on the ground so that no one gets hit. Some students will have trouble with the underhand
serve, so allow for modifications like going closer to the net or using a different kind of ball.

TIME SEQUENCE OF ORGANIZATION REFLECTIONS

LESSON

0-3 Students will warm up

with laps, jumping jacks,
calf stretch, and crushers
and then meet at circle
when finished. Make sure
students dont touch net-
make a warmup out of it

Intro: Striking an object

3-7 using hands I had to demonstrate some
skills for the pre-test and
*5th grade will fill out explain that the test was
pretest on skill knowledge more for me to see if I am
doing a good job teaching
Teacher will demonstrate and I just want to see what
skills to work on they already know-no
pressure
Underhand serve: face
target, hold ball in
nonstriking hand, step
with opposite foot as
striking hand goes back
then swing forward, strike
ball with heel of hand

Skill practice: Students

will get a partner and will
work on underhand
serving to their partner.
7-16 Students will start on same
side of net, and then S S
eventually move back
until there is a partner on S
each side. Students will hit
8 overhand and 8
underhand serves
Biggest problem with the
underhand serve was
students hitting it too hard
S S so it would go way over
their partners head. I said
S S S they should hit it lighter
because their partner should
be able to catch it and when
they start playing games-out
 of bounds doesnt help them
out

3rd grade: Serving game-

Ghostbusters! The balls
are the ghosts and the After demonstrating this

from previous activity will S sss classes. I split the defending
split up to either side of side in two using hot spots
net so entire class is so students would stay in
playing. 1 side will serve their zone to try to catch the
first and try to serve ball ball and so they would be
over net without the other less likely to bump into each
side catching their serve. other
Other side tries to catch
serves, rolls back ball
under net to other side.
Students will play
zones/quadrants and call
for ball
communicate who is
going for a ball so no
collisions

4th and 5th grade:

Newcomb!-Teams will
have 3 students on each
side and will work
together.
16-30 Rules: Students enjoyed this game
-Ball will be thrown back S s and were pretty quick to
and forth over the net S understand and incorporate
-ball must be passed at S game rules into play
least 3 times before going S s
over the net
-If the ball is not caught,
the other team earns a
point
-Ball must land in bounds
to count
 -Player will underhand
serve to start the point
-Cant move after catching
the ball

*Players must
