Class Experience

In this engaging class, students will dive into the history, rules, and techniques of a variety of sports. Each week, we’ll explore a different sport through reading and activities, uncovering its origins, how it’s played, and notable figures associated with it. This class is designed to broaden students’ knowledge of sports while inspiring them to discover activities they may enjoy in their daily lives.

__________________________________________________________________

What Will Be Taught:

Students will learn about the following:
      -The history and evolution of various sports
      -Basic rules, techniques, and scoring systems
      -Key players, events, and milestones in the sports’ history
      -How to choose activities that fit their interests and promote lifelong fitness
__________________________________________________________________

Topics Covered:

      -Nine instructor-chosen sports (e.g., soccer, basketball, tennis, baseball)
      -Six student-selected sports from a provided list (e.g., gymnastics, volleyball, 
                            rugby, skateboarding)
  -The role of physical activity in daily life and how it can benefit health and well-being

Each sport will have an accompanying learning packet that includes:
   -Text: Descriptions of the sport’s history, rules, techniques, scoring, and related news 
              or notes.
   -Response Forms: Questions and puzzles to reinforce understanding and 
          appreciation of the sport.

__________________________________________________________________

Class Structure:

     -Weekly Focus: Each week, students will study a specific sport. The instructor will 
                                provide a learning packet to guide exploration.

     -Choice Sports: For six weeks, students will pick a sport from a list of “choice 
                                 sports” they are most interested in learning about.

      -P.E. Log: Alongside the learning packets, students will maintain a P.E. log to track 
                       their physical activity. This log encourages daily fitness activities of the 
                       student’s choice, which don’t have to align with the sport of the week.

__________________________________________________________________

How It Will Be Taught:

- Learning materials will include written packets, questions, and puzzles to foster understanding.

-Students will engage with weekly content by reading, completing assignments, and reflecting on the material.

-The P.E. log encourages practical fitness habits and allows students to explore physical activities that suit their preferences.

__________________________________________________________________

Teaching Style and Interaction:

-Teaching Style: I aim to make learning about sports interactive and informative by blending history, rules, and personal fitness into a cohesive learning experience. The class is designed to be both educational and fun.

-Student Interaction: Students will have opportunities to share their favorite sports during choice weeks and discuss their P.E. activities if they wish.

-Support: I am available to answer questions, provide feedback on assignments, and support students as they explore the world of sports.


By the end of this class, students will have a deeper understanding of various sports, their histories, and rules, and will be equipped with ideas for incorporating enjoyable physical activities into their lives.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the rules and history of 15 sports. 
Students will learn about people associated with different sports.
