Field Hockey Unit Plan

 
 

    The objective of this unit is to introduce field hockey to students in PE and to give students a basic understanding of the skills involved with the sport.  It has been formatted to target a class of students with very little to no background on field hockey.  This unit was taught to a grade 10 girls class at Spectrum High-School who had very limited experience with the sport at all.  In using a TGfU approach, students are challenged to use equipment and objects and adjust them to make their success rates increase while trying new activities and skills in PE. The girls found the unit to be quite challenging, but they were not unfamiliar with the TGfU approach as their teacher had used this method with her class regularly.  Even after just 3 short lessons, the girls were ecstatic that they were improving and beginning to understand the fundamentals of the game.  They voiced their enjoyment for the games and this was echoed by their teacher.
