Learning Sequence 5

  • Brainstorm ideas on how groups can work together to improve the fitness of the whole class.

  • Each group designs an activity that will contribute to a tabloid or circuit of activities to improve fitness.

  • Establish baseline data, eg record the time for each student to complete the circuit. Students design a tracking sheet to record their times.

  • Students complete the circuit for a week, recording their times daily for either each activity or for the whole circuit. Reinforce the concept of perseverance that will improve their time for completing the circuit.

  • Set a challenge of completing the circuit within a specific timeframe.

    • How many repetitions were they able to complete?

  • Students continue to gather data on their achievements.

    • Who improved their time the most?

    • Which one needed the most perseverance? Why?

  • Students enter their data onto a spreadsheet and create a graph.

  • Students conclude the unit by writing in their journals what they have learnt about perseverance.

    • What are the qualities that people show who have persevered throughout their life?

    • What perseverance qualities has each student shown throughout this unit?

    • What did you do to show evidence of this?
