(JUMP = Hit at top of jump) -Partner (or teacher) tosses ball about 5-10 off the net **Hit TOWARDS the wall 2.Pepper: Partner practice of Pass-Set-Hit -Start with a toss to your partner. -Object is to alternate hits back in forth in the order of forearm pass, overhead pass (set), down ball (hit). -How long can you keep the pattern going? 3.Overhand Serve: Toss Step Hit (high) with open hand, follow-through high level, face/point to intended target area. (cross court/ down the line). 4.3 v 3 or 4 v 4 small-sided games to apply skills. -Start with a toss or serve to put ball in play. -Attempt to make a forearm pass to teammate to overhead set to a teammate who hits (down ball) over net. ** Call the ball; Keep ball in play 1.Down ball: Lead-up skill for spiking -Focus on wrist snap, no follow-through, placement. -With or without a jump?

Teacher ChoiceStudent Choice (Less Independent) (More Independent) 1.Decisions for designing a game fall along a continuum between student choices and teacher requirements/decisions. Teacher ChoiceStudent Choice (Less Independent) (More Independent) 2.Considerations for how much independence/student choice is given to students: -Their amount of experience with designing games. -Focus of the lesson/skill development objectives. -Safety Considerations -Age/Grade Level -Their ability to work independently when given the opportunity. 2.Considerations for how much independence/student choice is given to students: -Their amount of experience with designing games. -Focus of the lesson/skill development objectives. -Safety Considerations -Age/Grade Level -Their ability to work independently when given the opportunity. 3. Using Student-Teacher Designed Games is an instructional strategy/tool that ensures differentiation and promotes student success by allowing students to make choices that best fits their own ability level. Slide 14 Student Teacher Designed Games Possible questions/ decisions to make when designing a volleying game: a) How many people in the group/ on a team? -Determined by the teacher? (i.e. 4 to 6 people in group) b) How do you start the game? (Toss or Serve?) (Type of serve allowed?) c) How many/ what type of hits are allowed? -Unlimited hits? Regulation (3 hits) -Another # of hits allowed? -Can the same person hit the ball 2 times in a row? -Is the teacher choosing one skill only to pass? (Lesson Focus) (i.e. forearm pass, overhead pass, both?) (No spiking?) -Can the ball land on the floor? If so, how many times? d) Cooperative or Competitive Scoring? e) How do you score points? f) How do you win the game? -(Certain # of points? Or most points in a certain amount of time?) g) Boundaries? -Determined by teacher for safety reasons? h) What type of ball will be used? i) Other safety considerations: (i.e. No touching net/ crossing under net.)

Slide 15 Assessment Ideas K- Modified from PE Metrics Skill/Movement Concept: Striking Grade: Kindergarten Objective: Demonstrate striking a lightweight object with different body parts. (pek.1.3.b) Outcome: Demonstrate striking a soft, light-weight object in a self-space using a variety of body parts. Suggested Assessment Task: - Use a soft object and continuously strike it with various body parts while maintaining self space. Kindergarten Assessment Criteria: - Track object - Strikes with variety of body parts - Keeps object in personal space Mature Striking Pattern: - Track object - Strike with a variety of body parts - Keep object in personal space FormContinuous Strikes and Boundaries 4 Proficient/ Consistently Evident Displays all the selected criteria with fluid motion Always sends the object upward, maintains continuous striking action, and travels very little from starting position. 3 Competent/ Evident Displays all the selected criteria Essential Elements: *consistantly sends the ball upward *stays within the boundaries *maintains continuous striking action 2 Progressing/ Developing Displays 2 of 3 criteriaStrikes with 2 of the 3 essential elements present 1 Not EvidentDisplays 1 of 3 criteriaStrikes with one or no essential elements present 0 Does not complete the assessment task Slide 16 Assessment Ideas 2 nd 3 rd Grade Formative Assessment- Assess one cue at a time. Slide 17 Assessment Ideas Intermediate (4 th - 5 th ) Slide 18 Assessment Ideas Intermediate (4 th /5 th ) Slide 19 Slide 20 Assessment Ideas Grades 6 - 8 Skill/Movement Concept: Underhand Serve Grade: 6 Outcome: Perform a legal underhand serve with control. (S1.M12.6) Objective: Students will demonstrate mature form for the underhand serve in a modified activity. Suggested Assessment Task: - Students will participate in a 2 v 2 volleyball activity. Grade 6 Assessment Criteria: - Stance - Ball position - Arm movement - Contact - Ball travel Mature Serving Form - Non-dominant foot in front and knees bent - Ball held in non-dominant hand waist high - Arms swings back to front - Contact is made with the heel of the hand - Ball travels over the net and lands in bounds Form 4 Proficient/ Consistently Evident Consistently displays 4 or 5 criteria with mature form 3 Competent/ Evident Consistently displays 3 of 5 criteria with mature form 2 Progressing/ Developing Inconsistantly displays 2 of 5 criteria with mature form 1 Not EvidentDisplays 1 of 5 criteria with mature form 0Does not complete the assessment task Slide 21 Assessment Ideas Grades 6 - 8 Slide 22 Slide 23
