High School - 05 - Sports
« on: July 25, 2007, 04:28:34 pm »
This class is another take of Virginia's Extreme Sports class but instead of Parkour I opted for Ultimate Frisbee.

Sports:
  • Native Speaker brainstorms classroom about games, sports, and extreme sports. 10 minutes.
  • Native Speaker divides the classroom into groups and groups perform Sports Activity Sheet.  20 minutes.
  • The Class presents their Sports Activity to the rest of the class.  10 minutes.
  • Native Speaker introduces a North American sport. 20 minutes.

Notes:
  • Students have a tendency to choose the same sport (Skiing, Soccer, Volleyball, etc) so it’s important to avoid duplication; be sure to use the sports that were brainstormed on the board.
  • Introduce the concept of Game, Sport and Extreme Sport at the same time during brainstorming.  Often the student will just shout out random activities and hope that they have the correct category.  Eg.  Chess is a game, not a sport.
  • Introducing a colorful fighting sport (i.e. Mexican Wrestling) often works well and can be fairly easy with the numerous movie clips floating on the internet.

My PowerPoint has embedded videos that need to be in a sub directory '05 - Sports' but if that doesn't work they can be found online:

For my curious co-teachers I also had links to a history of ultimate video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/QxymC_7LgdY&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/QxymC_7LgdY&rel=1</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/ddxzAZnzrrM&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/ddxzAZnzrrM&rel=1</a>.
