For my flag football unit I administered a pre-assessment and post assessment consisting
of the same questions. Giving a pre-assessment gave me an idea of what the students knew about
football prior to teaching them. The assessment came out to a total of 13 points. The above chart
shows the average scores for each class for both the pre and post test. The final data shows that
each class increased their average scores from the pre-assessment. The biggest increases in
scores were six points in three classes. The smallest increase in score was three from 6 to 9.7. By
having each class increase their average score it shows that students gained a significant amount
of knowledge throughout the seven-week unit.

spot will be the exercise
that the class must perform
Exercises include: jumping
jacks, jogging in place, sit
and reach, push ups,
windmills, toe touch, crab
kick, high knees, squat
jumps
Added two
large foam dice
for the student
to roll to see
how many
seconds or reps
they need to do
I ended up
getting rid of
this part b/c I
found that I
wasted a lot of
practice from
throwing.

partners will work

catching together.
Spots will be about

Safety: passer must
make sure that their
partner has their
head up and arms
out before they
throw; if ball gets
away from them
look both ways
before retrieving it
Extension Up: if
partners catch 10
passes in a row one
of them may take
their spot and move
it back 2 big steps;
work on catching
high or low passes
21-26
Activity #2: Passing
Relays
For this activity
each warm-up
square will be
working together
If a warm-up square
has 6 students they
will be broken
down into 2 groups
of 3. If 5 there will
be a group of 3 and
group of 2
Groups will be
lined up in a
straight line
designated by spots
about 10 yards apart
Student on the end
will start with the
football, he or she
will throw the ball
to the student in the
middle who will
catch the football
and then turn and
throw to the other
partner. The relay is
complete once the
football is back to
where it started.
After the group has
completed the relay
they will rotate
positions
Teacher will time
the groups (1min)
to see how many
times they can get
the football around
Instead of counting how

many times they got the
football around I changed
it to how many catches
they made.
I ended up completely
wiping this activity from
my lesson. I instead
extended off my previous
activity. Some extensions
I added were making the
groups larger, adding two
footballs or three
footballs. I also would
have each group come
together and strategize a
way that they could get
their football around the
group with successful
catches.
