Lab B2 Review

 I think my lab B went well. I worked a lot better with speaking a lot more clearly, but I still have trouble not saying you guys. I'm going to really have to work on that a lot. I think I handled the scenario about the relationship well, I was short, quick, and respectful and told her to go back to her group.I went around and gave some decent specific feedback. It was harder to not give specific feedback because everyone was working in a group, but everyone was having the same problem so it was kind of in between.

Day 11

 

Today was an interesting day. There was quite a mix up with what everyone was being taught. I thought that I wasn't teaching my lesson until Friday because it was one of the hardest and we were going from easiest to hardest/backwards alphabetically. We weren't teaching our hard lesson, we were teaching the easy ones first so I found out when I got there I would be teaching. I'm glad it was the easy skills today because that would have been embarrassing to not be ready for a lesson and can't do it. After me everyone else did their lessons too and it was a great learning experience. I got to see how other people taught and what I liked and disliked about what they did and compared the lesson to mine. I didn't think mine was the best because I am a hard grader on myself and right now it doesn't matter if you are the best. This is a learning experience and I am making all the mistakes now so I can learn from them and become a better teacher. I uploaded my basic jump audio here.

Lab A2 Sprinting Lesson

I was very pleased with my redo of a lesson. Even though I didn't expect to do the lesson on Monday I think I adapted well. There wasn't much equipment to pick from like on Friday so I decided to teach about proper sprinting mechanics. I used Usain Bolt and the Olympics as my hook. I kept the cues simple by only having three cues. I did an okay job of keeping my ums and ahs to a minimum. The thing that I noticed I did a lot was say you guys so I need to work on not saying that. I also wished I had picked a better activity to preform the skill. I might have been able to give more feedback if I had the class do a up and down lap in the gym. I forgot to pin point a boy and a girl. This would have also caused the class to catch their breath because many of them were starting to get tired and their form was breaking down. So give more specific feedback, pinpoint, keep ums and ahs out, don't say you guys. Things I did well-had a loud voice, had a signal for attention, checked for understanding and made sure the class knew the cues, made sure the class knew the zig zag route, and gave feedback to boys and girls.

Day 10

Today's instant activity had black history month tied into exercise. There was stations set up all around the gymnasium. We read a little article about a famous African American and then did an exercise like push-ups or jumping jacks. In between the stations we had to crawl on the floor, skip, and other ways to keep the class moving. I had to teach a lesson after the instant activity and I didn't have any equipment so I decided to teach proper sprinting form. The next assignment is to critique it so I will save that for my next blog. After that Phil did his lesson over on the right handed lay up and then we broke up into groups with our TA's and talked about the jump rope lessons we'll have to teach this Wednesday and Friday. I have one the hardest skills so I am a little nervous. I am going to start working on it tomorrow for Friday's lesson.

Day 9 in Boston

I missed my lesson, but I am doing it this coming Monday. I was at a big track and field meet in Boston. I broke the 400 meter and 4x400 meter records again. I am going to Nationals and very excited to go! Here's the video of the races for people that want to see it!

Disappointing Time Coding :(

I was really disappointed in myself even more when I broke down my lesson. I had a lot of instruction time and not enough activity. The only thing that I received a point for was not having any waiting time. I was thrown off with the question of how to make a spiral with your hand. I should have been confident and not self-guessed myself and said if you execute the throw correctly the ball will spiral. I wasted about thirty seconds and I should have been a little faster with my instruction to maximize engaged activity. I could have used scaffolding by referring back to the softball unit and drawing parallels between the two and made the instruction time. I think when I did the basketball layup after I did a good job of keeping the cues quick and simple. I need to remember not to make the cues to complicated and shorten the instruction time.
