Lesson Focus
(Time allotted- )

Description of learning tasks: 1) Organizational diagram(s):

Walk and talk:

- Defender will backpedal and QB will throw - Swat?

the ball and the defender will jump and swat - Fumble?
the ball - As a defense what are you trying to prevent
- Students will alternate until they are told to the defense from doing?
freeze - Different defenses that are played?
- As students backpedal they will now try to
catch a thrown ball from the QB and run back
in the direction the ball was thrown.
Blitzing
- Group of 4
- 1 QB, 1 WR, 1 DB, 1 Pass rusher
- QB will try to throw to their receiver without
being tagged.
- QB can not run past line of scrimmage.
- Blitzer may jump to swat the ball but try not
to jump into QB.

Differentiated Instruction:
Simplified
- if students are having difficulty throwing when there is a pass rusher, you could
eliminate the pass rusher.

Challenge
- add a pass rusher and eliminate a WR so QB has less options/time to throw the ball.

Accommodation: Adapting for Special Needs

Student with hearing impairment may use signals as QB cadence. Student may draw the route
they want their WR to run on their hand or on the ground

Closure:
Ok every one I have a few questions before we end class today. What are two ways as a defender can make a
play at the ball?( swatting, Interception). What does the QB have to do to ensure they get the ball to their WR
even though they have someone rushing them? (make quick decisions because they have less time to throw)
