Day 1 Lesson Plan

Immersion in Two Olympic Events


Objective:

To have the students obtain a time and height cleared after participating in two Olympic events (sprint and high jump) without any instruction on proper form or techniques.

Procedure:

Without instruction, have students run a 30-yard dash and a perform a high jump. This will serve as a pretest and give the students a score to improve upon. Record their results. When they do these activities at the end of the week (after having instruction), they should attain better results.

Closure:

Make sure scores are recorded for each student. It is okay for the students to have a variety of techniques which most likely are very inefficient. This will be a benefit on day 5.
