Microteaching Lesson Plan

Microteaching Lesson Plan

1.)Bridge- Show class my disk (Frisbee) and ask them if they have heard of the game Ultimate Frisbee.

 2.) Teaching Objectives- To have the students working together and being involved in a participatory activity. 

To develop the students Frisbee throwing skills.

 3.) Learning Objectives- Students will be able to throw a disk in three different ways, a)backhand

b)forehand

c)hammer throws

using the proper wrist and arm mechanics.

Students will learn when it is appropriate to use each of these throws in the game of Ultimate Frisbee.

 4.) Pretest- Has anyone ever thrown a disk before? 

Do you know the three main types of tosses?

 5.) Participatory- Each student will receive a disc. 

-As a group I will demonstrate the techniques of a particular throw and explain when to use it in a game setting. (backhand, forehand, hammer)

-I will then have the students repeat or show me the technique I have just taught them. 

-Students will then partner up and use one disc to practice tossing the particular throw to each other.

-I will repeat these steps with the other types of throws.

-If some students already know a particular throw we can improve on their techniques and those students knowledgeable can assist those students who don’t know the skill.

 6.) Post Test- What are the names of the three throws we learned today?

Give me a short demonstration of what each throw looks like and when to use it.

 7.) Summary-Today we have learned a backhand, forehand and hammer throw with a Frisbee, and know when to use them in the game. 

Next time we may improve on our technique and simulate a game setting to practice our three throws.
