Unit Three: Reflecting on the Effectiveness of Incorporating Physical Activity

Look Ahead

In this unit, learners will reflect on the lesson they taught incorporating activities and a lesson that does not incorporate physical activity. They will compare the lessons.

Objectives

1. Learners will reflect on the effectiveness of incorporating physical activity in the classroom.

Activities

First learners will watch this video. This video will help them understand how to reflect on their teaching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az3cStWRD5k

After the learners perform the same lesson twice. Once with physical activity and once without learners must reflect. Learners should give a quiz after each lesson, so that they can reflect and evaluate both lessons. Learners will do this in their journal on Google Classroom.

Next, learners will discuss their outcomes on Google Classroom.

Concluding Thoughts

The main purpose of this mini-course was for learners to learn how important it is for teachers to incorporate physical awtiviy in the classroom. Whether it being during brain breaks, or during lessons. Incorporating physical activity during lessons is so important for student engagement and memory.
