It
is definitely difficult to incorporate new games in to physical education,
especially at the secondary level. Whether it is budget reasons or that
teachers and administration just do not want to take that risk. We believe
that physical education should provide students with opportunities to learn
in an enjoyable environment. One of the main focuses of any unit plan should
be to keep students' interests high as well as to enhance their quality
of life. This curling unit will contribute to the BC
IRP aim, by implementing a new activity for students to enjoy new movement
experiences and understanding of a forgotten game. The unit plan's objectives
are to facilitate students in understanding the different movements involved,
why they need these movements to enhance their learning of the game, and
to retain this information to use it in the future.
As teachers, we shall design a unit that will allow students to appreciate
curling using various teaching styles and methods within a Spectrum
theory
designed by Muska Mosston. Our main goal is for students to meet the learning
objectives by acquiring different learning domains (psychomotor, social/affective,
and cognitive) through the use of carious teaching styles.
