A. Narrative General Contextual Information for Community, District, and School (limited to 1 page)
The students at Frontenac School District are an evenly balanced Male/female population. The community ranges from low to high class, with the majority of the
students coming from a low to middle class background. 44% of the students come from economically disadvantaged households. There is not much diversity in
this school, as it has a 92% Caucasian population. 10% of the student population has been diagnosed with a disability of some sort.
As for the Junior High School, the trends follow those of the district as a whole. The 8th grade boys that I work with have a 45% economically disadvantaged
population. However, this class seems to be an outlier in that they do not have a student with a diagnosed disability present.

Rationale for Selection: I chose these boys because they have the advantage of playing games that they have been doing since they were
little kids. I wanted to see how they reacted to being introduced to something new and not having the experience advantage of their peers.

there usually is. Overall, they learned the lesson that I taught, which a success
was. It was also successful, in that seeing high-level athletes out of their comfort
zones can cause a big impact on their normal performance and attitudes.
During this unit, I wanted to introduce the students to a game they were unfamiliar with in Hefley ball, while also teaching the fundamentals of
Volleyball. I began the unit with a pretest to see what they knew and what would be a good starting point for instruction. After seeing what areas I
needed to emphasize, I created a 5-day unit in which we would learn the basics of serving, setting, bumping, and passing. Throughout the unit, I
would also consistently teach and review the rules of Hefley ball. Another emphasis of the instructional design was to work on teamwork and
communication with their classmates. I accomplished this by mixing up the groups and having students work with different teams often. The first
three days would be an introduction of the skills and rules needed to play the game successfully. The 4th day would be a culmination of all of the
skills and objectives that were learned, as they would break into teams and compete in a tournament. The final day of the unit would be a posttest,
which would show how much they improved their knowledge of the game. Following the test, they continued with the tournament to wrap up the
unit. The first four days of the unit would conclude with a review at the end to help bring together the lesson they learned for that class period. The
very conclusion of the unit was a review in which I gauged the interest of the game and how much they learned over the past 5 classes.

the pretest.
Day 1:
On the first day of the lesson, I gathered the class on the baseline on the basketball court and introduced the game Hefleyball. I explained to them
how it was a modified game of volleyball made up by Dr. Hefley at PSU. The first thing I did was give them a pretest to see what they knew about
the game. None of the students had played it before which is indicated in their low scores on the pretest. I assured them not to be too concerned with
the test since the game was brand new, it would not be used against them, it was just a tool for me to see what they knew. Following the pretest, I
went into explaining the rules of the game while also demonstrating to give them a quick overview of what it is we would be playing over this unit.
The first lesson we would go into was serving. I explained that even though serving seemed like it was a simple part of the game; it was the most
important part because it is what starts every rally.
As a drill, I had the kids get into groups of 5-6 and practice serving underhand to one another. One person would be standing on the baseline or
sideline, with everyone else standing behind them with the exception of one student who would be the one receiving the serve. For today, the student
receiving the serve would simply catch the ball and not return it. Once the ball is caught, the server becomes the receiver, the receiver goes to the
back of the serving line, and it rotates like that until everyone has served correctly 5 times. During and following the drills, I repeatedly discussed
the rules for a legal serve.
A Legal Serve Must Follow These Guidelines:
*Server may not cross serving line until ball has been hit.
*Ball must be served underhanded
*Ball must be hit at or above head level of receiving team.
*Ball cannot bounce on serving side before landing on receiving team.
*Ball must be struck/ not grabbed or thrown.
After having the students find two new groups to be in and repeating the drill, I had them return to the baseline to conclude class. I asked if anyone
had questions, I asked about qualifications for a legal serve, and all 5 had to be answered before they had to go shower.
Day 2:
The second day of the Hefleyball unit began with the student again lining up on the along the baseline and waiting for instruction. The first thing we
did was pass back the graded pretest and had them look over the results. I had them keep the test as a study guide for an upcoming test. Then I
decided to review the things that we had gone over on day 1. I asked the class to repeat the rules and guidelines for serving and other general rules of
the game. After they had shown me that they knew what they were doing, I called a few students up to the front of the class to help me demonstrate
my next lesson, which would be setting/bumping. After the visual demonstration, I discussed what a legal set/bump was for Hefleyball and how it
was different from regulation Volleyball so that they would not get confused. I then had them get into similar groups as they did the other day of 5 to
6 students and practice setting/bumping to each other. The rotations would be the same as the serving, again to get them used to playing with other
students. I then split the class in half on either side of the basketball court and had them wait for instruction. I explained to them a game that we
Day 3:
Following the standard warm up, I began day 3 by having a quick review session and them having them go straight into their 5-6 student teams for
serving drills. Following a few rotations, I had them shift to the bump/set drills. After they rotated 3 times, I again split them into two teams and had
them play the keep up drill. After 3 games of this drill, I added a new element to the game. Now, instead of me tossing the ball to them, they would
be serving the ball to each other. The serving team had to make a good legal serve, or else it would subtract 10 seconds from their time when it was
their turn. I had them do this for a best 2 out of 3 series as well. With about 20 minutes left in class, I split the class into 4 teams and had them play
some practice games of Hefleyball. I explained we were not keeping score because we would start a tournament the next time we were in class.
After the games were played, I had our end of class review, and I told them that in the next few days a post test would be coming so to make sure
they had studied for the test.
Day 4:
Day 4 was tournament day and the students were pumped. They had been doing a lot of drills and practice and they were ready to really compete.
The first thing I did was have them sit on the baseline for instruction. I explained to them the rules of the tournament and my expectations of them
while they were on and off the court. I split them into 4 teams and explained to them that it would be round robin style so there would not be any
eliminations just a scheduled rotation and that they would have a chance to play every team at least once. I had the first two teams that were playing
get on the court. The two teams that were not playing were instructed to surround the court, and they would serve as additional line judges, rules
enforcers, and ball retrievers. I did this so that they would be able to learn by observation and they also were staying engaged the whole time. They
were also encouraged to cheer and have positive things to say about their classmates while they were playing. The tournament was very exciting and
the kids had tremendous effort. I would occasionally stop the game to point out something that happened or could have happened that I thought
would benefit them knowing for the upcoming test. They got extremely competitive, and some students (mainly my focus sub-group) began to cross
the line of being over competitive. Besides for that, they did a great job. After the games, I had them come together as I handed out a review sheet
for them to study for the post test the next time we had class. I had them do a cool down stretch following the game and then let the winning team go
shower first and then the rest followed.
Day 5:
The final day of the unit was the post test. I knew the test would not take a very long time so I had the students dress out and let them know we
would be continuing the tournament when they were done. When they came in I gave them 10 minutes to study/ask me questions. When they were
ready to begin, they spread out around the gym and I passed out the test. Not surprising to me, they all finished the test extremely fast and did leaps
and bounds better than their pretest. Following the test, I once again mixed up the teams and had them do the same round robin tournament from the
previous day. When they were done with the tournament, I had them come around one last time and complimented them on how well they did and
how proud I was that they all tried their hardest on this brand new game. I then got their opinion of if they liked the game and if they would want to
play it again in the future. The majority of the students liked it and only a few students were indifferent and no student really said they disliked it.

B. Classroom Management Plan (rules, procedures, preventative strategies, supportive strategies) (limited to 1 page)
The main objectives that I have in my classroom is that students follow the rules, respect one another, are physically active, and have fun. I want my
class to be an opportunity for them to get away from the stresses of a normal classroom setting, while still getting important education and training. I
also believe my class is a great platform to teach appropriate behaviors that will help in other classes and outside of school.
C. Student Interaction and Engagement (Strategies for promoting student-to-student interaction and student motivation) (limited to 1 page)
A major emphasis of this unit was getting students to get out of their respective comfort zones. This was a game that as a whole, they were unfamiliar
with. Boys in this area do not play competitive volleyball as it is which is different from my experience growing up and I wanted to give them
another activity to enjoy. With this theme of getting out of comfort zones, I made it a point to have as many different combinations of teams as
possible. There are groups of boys who always want to be on the same team in everything they do and I wanted to make sure that they got a chance
to play with as many of their classmates as possible. I also encouraged good sportsmanship and rewarded teams with the best sportsmanship through
things such as being able to go shower first, or less conditioning to start class. If a student was not dressed out or not actively participating in the
game, I found work for them as a referee, side judge, or ball retriever, so that way they were not just sitting out not doing anything at all. I made the
games go relatively quickly so I could avoid having teams sitting out for too long. This was difficult with a class of 44 people but I figured out if I
kept the games to about 15 minutes, it went smoothly.
D. Student Communication (detailed description of appropriate strategies to encourage student-to-student communication) (limited to 1 page)
In this unit, being on the same page and having good communication is a very important skill. During a drill when teaching bumping and passing, I
made it a rule that you must say the name of the person you are passing the ball to. I made sure to mix of the drill groups as much as I could on a
daily basis so students had to get familiar speaking to one another. This encouraged more verbal interaction between the students. I also gave a lot of
positive feedback when good communication was noticed. I also made it a rule during the game that the students had to repeat the score before each
serve.
F. Formative Assessment

Objective 2: Just like Volleyball, the game of Hefleyball begins with a legal serve. I was pleased with the proficiency of
the serves from the students. There were rarely occasions of students being able to serve the ball legally.
Serving The times that serves were illegal; the whole class knew it was illegal so that showed me that they had a
understanding of what I had taught them. Dedicating the whole first day to this skill is a major reason for
the success. Me emphasizing the importance of a good serve helped motivate them to become good at
serving as well.
Discuss at least TWO things to do differently in the future to extend these successes to continue students’ academic growth.
One thing that could be done differently to extend these successes would be to integrate technology to the classroom. In this particular class, that
option was not available to me. In my future classroom, I will make it a priority to have technology as a part of the lesson in order to relate to the
students better and to give them another viewpoint to learn. A video of some sort would be very beneficial in teaching some of the skills that I was
implementing. Another thing to consider is assigning an out of class assignment that requires the students to go to an event related to the lesson to
gain additional knowledge. For instance, having the students go to the high school volleyball game would help them see the skills and rules that they
have learned being used in real life situations.
Objective 2: Overall, the class did what I wanted them to do as far as setting/bumping. However, what I was teaching
them was a way less technical and probably illegal way in a normal game of volleyball. It would be
Setting/ Bumping successful for this specific game, but if they were to get into volleyball competitively, they could have
picked up some bad habits from the skills taught in this game.
Discuss at least TWO things to do differently in the future to improve students’ performance.
I think two things that could have been done to improve students’ performance would be incorporating more technology into the classroom to make it
more relatable and give the students a different perspective of learning. There are several videos and things like that, that are designed to enhance
learning in a way different to standard teaching methods. I also would spend more time actually playing the game rather than just practicing and
doing drills the majority of time. In my future classrooms, I will make it a focus to incorporate these things into my teaching.

to go about getting them. I also was able to learn more about procedures and rules from my fellow teachers.
