In this video I taught my class mates how to do the "heel-to-toe". For our warm up we did the Cotton Eye Joe remix. Then I did my intro and hook. I felt like my hook was good and everyone could relate to it. My cues were"Hop heel Hop toe". My safety statement was short, I can work on that because safety should be the number one thing in schools. Then i explained the heel-to-toe and then demonstrated it. I had the students do progressions before using the ropes. Then just had them hop over the rope to get the rhythm down. At first my music was too load so i need to work the kinks out on my technology. Well the students did there heel to toe jumps i walked around giving positive and helpful feedback. I pinpointed Jen and Dave because they both did the technique right but in two different ways. I ended the class by going over the cues again and giving a hook into next class. I felt like I used my time good and over all did a good job.

Chapter 9 questions 2 and 3

2: State at least five general principles that are implications for teaching from motivation theory

One way is by creating a positive teaching environment. This will keep the students more interested in the lesson.

Second using different teaching strategies is a good thing to remember. Students are known for having short attention spans so doing or saying the same thing every day won’t keep them instructed.
Third principle is using external forms of motivation with care. It is a key to have your students motivated.

Forth principal is to help students attribute their success and failure to a cause that they control. Giving students control will most likely lead more to success rather than failure.
Last principal is to have humor. Humor can create a good learning environment when done right and in moderation.


3: Describe nine ways that teachers can promote the personal growth of students through personal interaction. 
1. Learning the names of your students is a great way to promote growth. Knowing the students name will show that you care about them. 2. Enthusiastic and positive in what you do will rub off on the students and they will get hyped up too. Being enthusiastic will get your students more excited.3. Have a caring attitude towards students. Showing the studnets that you care will make them want to be there. Also some students feel like teachers don’t want to waste their time with them because they maybe be the “bad seed” this is why you should treat each student with respect and show them that you care.4. Reinforce basic school etiquette. Honesty, respect, charter, and responsibly to name a few are things that all students should show.
5. Stop destructive behaviors the right way. Don’t ignore them, but don’t call them out infront of the class. For example if a student is talking or playing with something while you are talking simply walk over and stand by them or direct your focus to them (say their name in what you are talking about)  so they get back on task.6. Do not be threatened by student misbehavior. It is good to take what students say or do with a grain of salt. Try to redirect their misbehavior into something productive so that you are effective with your job. 7. Treat all students equitably. Give feedback to everyone. Don’t only talk to some students when they do something bad. It is good to always be positive to all students.8. Learn to listen and observe students responses. This is key because if students are struggling they will most likely become off-task students. This could lead to more problems for the entire class. 9. Challenge and track yourself. Challenging yourself will keep the students interested. Tracking what you say and do will give you more respect from the students because you are not stumbling or repeating yourself.

"FEEDBACK" ON CHAPTER 7

Questions
4)List six behaviors teachers can engage in during activity that have the potential to directly contribute to lesson objectives?
                          1. Keeping a safe learning environment for the students.
                          2.Make sure students understand the task clearly and are engaged/ doing it as it was designed.
                          3. Observe to determine the response of the class to the task at hand.
                          4. Recheck often to usurer that students work is productive.
                          5. Observe individuals performance and assist as much as possible.
                          6. Maintain awareness of the whole group.
6) How can a teacher get off-task students on task?
                          This is the most important thing for a physical education teacher to be able to do. The main idea is to have or create structure. Have tasks that can and will challenge or help the student be successful. Give feedback will encourage any student, but you must use the right type at the right time. This leads us to our next question.
7) Write an example for each of the following types of feedback:
                        (1) General, Positive, Directed to the class, and Evaluative- "Tim good job kicking the ball today, we just need to work more on bring our knee up"
                        (2) Specific, Negative, direct to a group, in congruent, and corrective- "Red team when running to the black line you must touch the line no one is touching the line"
                         (3) Specific, positive, directed to the individual, corrective, and congruent- Joshua I like how are are stepping with your left foot when throwing the baseball, now lets work on your aim to your partners glove.

Transcript & Photos to "how to kick a soccer ball"








teaching how to kick a soccer ball

My name is Miss Swarm and today we are going to go over how to properly kick a soccer ball. First lets get warmed up by jugging in place, now running, then jumping jacks, then shake it out and stretch ankles. Then had everyone get a partner and went over how to pass a soccer ball. in soccer you want to have a stiff leg picture it like a golf club, (You want your hips open a knee high follow through) Also to stop the ball with the top of there foot. Had them pass a little with there right foot. In that time I gave a few pointers to help the students. Then had them switch feet. Next we did a passing drill. Had partners line up across from each other. Then had other line up behind the first group. I had the student go down the gym passing the ball to each other between. After a few times I had them  keep track of how many times they passed between each other. Then had everyone line up and ask the students what they learned today. Then told them what we will be doing next class. Then to put the equipment away.
