Links to help with your PE “You be the Teacher” assignment
Reminder of Assignment details:
Object: to choose or create a grade 4/5 appropriate co-operative PE game which you and your partner will be demonstrating your ability to organize and teach to the younger students.
You will need to be able to demonstrate the following:
• The ability to determine the Learning Objective(s) of the game (L/Os) and explain these to the students they are teaching. (eg – L/O: teaching co-operation and improving locomotion skills) – this is done by reviewing the curriculum expectations document provided to you.
• The ability to determine equipment needed and ensure these are ready and available when instructing the younger students. (if materials are not already available in our gym cage it may be necessary to choose a different game or supply the item yourself if so desired – this is a student and parental decision)
• The ability to demonstrate with your partner how to play the game
• The ability to be involved in a manner which continues to support the younger students while learning and playing your game of choice.
Here are a few links but you are not limited to them; feel free to choose a different PE link but remember to reference this as your source. If you use a game from any source but modify it, you still need to reference your source but just indicate the changes you made.
