Field Experience 1

REFLECTION ON LESSON

Friday February 3rd, destination: Elementary School 8:05am. In this reflection, I will be concentrating on the lesson that was taught. The lesson that was being taught this day was Volleyball. The main focus on the days lesson was about bumping and setting. The lesson first started off with a quick fitness activity that incorporated the idea of the game show "Deal or No Deal." The students would pick an exercise, and inside the envelope was a number in which the students had to perform for the exercise. A great fitness activity. Ill be using that one for my future teaching! After the fitness activity, the teacher directed the students to certain areas of the gym to prepare for the days main lesson focus. First the teacher started off with the progressions of bumping the volleyball, starting from sitting down, then on one knee, then lastly standing up. Then she did the same for setting, she had the students set while sitting down, on one knee, and then finally standing up. It seemed as if the students were really grasping the idea of bumping and setting in Volleyball. During the lesson, the teacher was giving great positive feedback to her students. Then, in the last 5 minutes of class, the teacher divided up the class into two groups and played a quick game of just setting and bumping the volleyball back and forth. Then for the closure of the lesson, the teacher checked for understanding by asking the students the cues they learned today for the bump and the set. Overall, I personally think she taught a great lesson according to the standards of physical education. She incorporated the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains into her lesson.
