You will create a comprehensive lesson plan to teach a fundamental skill for an early childhood physical education class (Pre-K to 3rd grade) by revising and adding to the plan you created in Week two.  Start by reviewing and assessing that the skill(s) in your lesson plan are developmentally appropriate by visiting SHAPE America page.

YOur lesson plan should include the following components (note that Sections 1 and 2 are the same as the Week Two lesson plan; just be sure to include revisions and changes).

a.  Title Page

b.  Section 1:  Lesson Information

Grade level (specify age/grade)

Estimated level of developmental stage for this age/grade

Number of Students

Fundamental skill to be taught

State standard (see the list of PE standards and indicate which state)

C.  Section 2 Lesson Introduction

provide a brief description of the lesson

Create a student learning objective (e..g “As result of this lesson, students, will be able to demonstrate_____________________”)

Describe your your system for classroom management and student grouping (e.g. class rules, consequences, rewards, and organization of the class during the activity)

Describe the equipment needed and the environment (e.g.  classroom, gym, outdoors,etc)

D.  Section 3:  Lesson Procedure

Create a script for what the teacher would say while teaching the lesson and describe the following:

Introducing the lesson

Safety concerns, rules, and protocols to follow during the lesson

Teaching the skill and the method of assessment (refer to the lesson objective; how will you assess mastery of this skill?)

Section 4:  Home-School Connection

Create a flyer or email that you would use to communicate to parents.  It should explain at least one activity the family could do at home that would reinforce the skill taught in the lesson.

f.  Section 5:  Lesson Accommodations

Identify modifications and adaptions for each of the following scenarios:

inclusion of a child with a physical disability (eg a child who uses a wheelchair)

The event of inclement weather or an altered schedule that forces you to change your location.  Choose a different location to discuss (e.g. a smaller classroom as opposed to a gym)

Reference page:  Include 5 to seven outside resources.

Your title page, lesson plan and reference page should be in APA syle.. The lesson plan must be five pages in length, in addition to the title and reference pages.

Additional planning resources:  When researching lesson plans, the following resources are helpful.  These should be resources only and should not be copied and paste (Turntin will detect any plagarims)
