Introduction: Defense Paper

The purpose of the unit plan that I have designed is to create interest and introduce the

game of badminton to grade 7 students. The badminton unit lays the foundation for future racket

sport units such as table tennis and pickle ball. I recognize that grade 7 students will have a wide

range of skill levels. Most will have minimal experience with badminton, and therefore, the

focus of my unit plan is to teach basic badminton skills, and to provide lots of opportunity to

learn and practice. In addition, students will learn badminton rules, court dimension, scoring,

cooperation and fair play.

My goal is to inspire students to live an active and healthy lifestyle for the rest of their

lives. I believe a positive learning environment, where all students feel comfortable, regardless of

ability, provides the foundation for student to be active inside and outside of school, and

throughout their lives. My aim is to provide students with the knowledge and skill to enjoy the

game of badminton. I will do my best to engage all students and ensure they feel capable and not

judged. I believe that everyone can benefit from badminton, regardless of individual differences,

and I have incorporated a variety of teaching strategies and a wide range of activities into the

unit to ensure that every student will experience success.

This badminton unit has been designed to meet specific learning outcomes from the

Alberta Program of Studies, grade 7, Physical Education, and the general learning outcomes of

Activity, Cooperation and Do it Daily. These objectives will be met through students acquiring

knowledge, skills and practice activities, as it relates to the game of badminton. I will use a

variety of teaching strategies to help create interest, motivation and a fun learning environment

for students. I will use a combination of formative and summative assessment, including pre-

assessment, self-assessment, written test, teacher observation and the PACE evaluation tool to

ensure that students are achieving the learning outcomes, and I will adapt lesson plans, as

needed.

Classroom Management Plan

There are many classroom management strategies that I will implement throughout the

badminton unit including the following:

o Explain to students the focus and goals of the badminton unit

o Clearly explain rules and expectations, make sure students understand, provide

reminders, post rules on the gym wall

o Establish classroom procedures, teach, practice and reinforce, until they become routine

o Write the daily schedule and post on the gym wall before students arrive, same place

every day

o Teach to students interest and make it fun

o Be a positive role model for the students, listen, encourage and provide feedback

Physical Education teachers must be dedicated to developing the knowledge, skills, and

attitudes (KSAs), the teaching quality standards, to successfully deliver the curriculum and

inspire students to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. In order for students to learn best, I will

follow this classroom management plan to ensure that every student is reaching his or her

potential, and having fun while doing so. For this unit, my classroom management plan will be

heavily based on getting to know the students and developing positive relationships, especially

since I am new to the classroom. I will discuss my expectations for learning and clearly explain

the classroom procedures and rules to be followed as students enter the gym and throughout the

class.

Developing relationships is very important to maintaining positive classroom

management. As a new teacher, it is critical that I develop positive working relationships with

students, to gain their respect and confidence. The badminton unit will allow me to create

meaningful positive relationships with the students because it is interactive and allows me to be

directly involved in the activities, and to provide feedback in a respectful manner.

 4

Motivation and engagement of students in physical education is key to learning. The

badminton unit is interactive and has lots of opportunity for practice and games. In creating

games, I will ensure that teams are equal and fair, and this will increase motivation. When teams

are not equal, with all of the strong players on the same team, students loose interest and

motivation to do the activity. Given that I know this, I will use flexible grouping and the

information that I will obtain through direct observation to ensure teams are fair and equal.
