Approaches to learning
How will this unit contribute to the overall development of subject-specific and general approaches to learning skills?

ORGANISATION
Punctuality and preparation for the class. Keeping P.E. portfolio organized. Students to ensure appropriate kit is used for lessons Sports Leader Groups Manager lead responsibility

COLLABORATION
Students actively participate in practical and theoretical work. Students to develop ability to work in groups giving accurate critical feedback as necessary = evaluating ones own and others achievements hamburger method Students to demonstrate positive group ethos and teamwork - Sports Leader Groups where by respecting similarities and differences that all people can contribute.

COMMUNICATION
Students to develop accurate and appropriate unit terminology planning task Students to demonstrate an understanding the benefits of constructive feedback 3 layered method positive / area of improvement / how to improve area of improvement (hamburger method). Listen to others and contribute positively towards them. Students to demonstrate an ability to answer sports specific questions and communicate effectively EAL students are paired up with other native speakers uses of Google translate where appropriate.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Learning experiences How will students know what is expected of them? Will they see examples, rubrics, templates? How will students acquire the knowledge and practise the skills required? How will they practise applying these? Do the students have enough prior knowledge? How will we know? Students will work in their sports leader groups Sports leader (SL) groups are internally divided into sporting roles coach/manager/administrator/strength & conditioner/first aid/ media or PR/ The P.E. teacher educates students how to develop their subject knowledge within these (SL) roles. Sports leaders peer teach their subject area to their class members Lessons are conducted with a Game Sense theme with the use of mini games as a learning tool Students taught and then have the opportunity to demonstrate new skill knowledge in isolation and mini game environments Collaborative learning and self check MYP Body Weight Exercise Unit Planner shared with sports leader groups - Edmodo MYP Body Weight Exercise Unit Planner Rubrics for criteria tested - Edmodo Teaching strategies

How will we use formative assessment to give students feedback during the unit? What different teaching methodologies will we employ? How are we differentiating teaching and learning for all? How have we made provision for those learning in a language other than their mother tongue? How have we considered those with special educational needs? At the start of each lesson the students are connected with the three intended learning outcomes for the lesson (ILOs) Lessons are conducted with a Game Sense theme with the use of mini games as a learning tool Students demonstrate new skills and try new knowledge with a mini game environment; where the students have regular breaks in play to demonstrate their knowledge & understanding (K & U) with key questioning and group discussions MAKING THINKING VISIBLE Whole part whole lesson & reciprocal peer teaching IDEAS - teaching style = all learning styles Visual learners from watching Auditory learners from listening & explanation Kinaesthetic learners from doing/participating in the activity. LETS SEE IT = where students observe an example of what is expected this allows EAL and SEN students to benefit Reciprocal teaching Self guided discovery Differentiation required for all lessons - working towards (WT) achieving the objectives and working beyond (WB) achieving expectations. During lessons tasks have two levels fundamental and challenging written tests will be given to EAL and SEN departments with extra time granted

Resources
What resources are available to us? How will our classroom environment, local environment and/or the community be used to facilitate students experiences during the unit?

Student laptops - A4 white board (24) white board markers stop watches x 7 first aid kit ice iPad dongle projector clip boards x 6 sports leader unit plan speakers student lap tops and smart phones

Ongoing reflections and evaluation


In keeping an ongoing record, consider the following questions. There are further stimulus questions at the end of the Planning for teaching and learning section of MYP: From principles into practice.
Students and teachers
What did we find compelling? Were our disciplinary knowledge/skills challenged in any way? What inquiries arose during the learning? What, if any, extension activities arose? How did we reflectboth on the unit and on our own learning? Which attributes of the learner profile were encouraged through this unit? What opportunities were there for student-initiated action?

Possible connections
How successful was the collaboration with other teachers within my subject group and from other subject groups? What interdisciplinary understandings were or could be forged through collaboration with other subjects?

Assessment
Were students able to demonstrate their learning? How did the assessment tasks allow students to demonstrate the learning objectives identified for this unit? How did I make sure students were invited to achieve at all levels of the criteria descriptors? Are we prepared for the next stage?

Data collection
How did we decide on the data to collect? Was it useful?
