Student Learning
 
 

•     The students will gradually learn the rules and correct ways to think about what is needed to be successful by the conditions set down by the teacher

• By changing the rules of the game and exaggerating the playing conditions you can almost ensure that the students will address the question, " What  must I do to succeed in this situation?"

• This type of question you can also ask the students directly

• At this time other questions related to 'why'  certain skills are required might also be appropriate.

• After students become aware of what they need to do and why, you can question them about how to perform the necessary skills

• Assessment would entail looking at appropriate learning outcomes and whether or not this was achieved by the students

• Assessment would take the form of written exams (where students would demonstrate knowledge of various tactics required in different situations), and the students would be required to show a practical ability to perform the skills. I would consider using a marks  breakdown of 15% for participation (5% for being a monitor), 45% skill - consideration of progression is important here, and 40% for a skill and tactics test. ( as this is only a 4 lesson unit- assessment ideas can be viewed below.
