The Curling unit's objectives include the objectives outlined for grade nine physical education based on the BC IRP's aim. Within the IRP, three curriculum organizers are used to categorize the aim of physical education (active living, movement, and personal and social responsibility). Our objectives will correspond with these three curriculum organizers, which are respectively termed learning domains (psychomotor, movement, cognitive/active living, and social/affective learning domain and personal and social responsibility).

Psychomotor

• The students will be able to (TSWBAT) acknowledge the proper stance in the hack prior to backswing and overall delivery (i.e. parallel positioning of feet, weight distribution, arm extension, head focused on target).
• TSWBAT consistently perform the backswing (i.e. forward press, weight transfer, arm extension, keeping the head focused on target, hip elevation, broom arm and slide foot preparedness).
• TSWBAT show the ability to consistently perform while in a balanced and stable position (i.e. contact points, slide leg position).
• TSWBAT consistently perform the forward slide (i.e. sliding towards target along the imaginary line/shot path, broom arm and hack leg positioning, weight transfer, force generation).
• TSWBAT properly demonstrate the two different grip positions (i.e. in-turn and out-turn).
• TSWBAT demonstrate effective and efficient sweeping (i.e. weight on inside foot, proper grip, force production, rhythm development).
• TSWBAT consistently throw 7 out of 10 rocks in play (i.e. within the hog and back lines).

• The student will understand and apply the rules and of the game of curling within practice, including etiquette/common courtesies.
• The student will apply teaching cues to basic strategies of curling.
