Movement
Statement of inquiry
Adaptation and movement will produce change in the quality of the activities for better competitions and cooperation.

Inquiry questions

Factual: What does it mean to create change in the quality of activities?

Conceptual: How to change the quality of activities?

Debatable: Is it easy to create change? Why?

Objectives Summative assessment

i. describe physical and health-related factual,
procedural, and conceptual knowledge.
ii. apply physical and health education
knowledge to describe issues and solve problems
set in familiar and unfamiliar situations.

Outline of summative assessment task(s) including
assessment criteria:
Role: A teacher who concentrates on facilitating
physical fitness exercises and drills focusing on
strength training
Audience: The learners who are interested in
improving their physical fitness especially strength
Situation: The learners must improve their physical
fitness in order to perform different daily tasks in
Statement of inquiry:
Adaptation and movement will produce change
in the quality of the activities for better
competitions and cooperation.
Skills development through adaptation of
movements produces change, either positive
change or the other way around. Facilitators need
to teach the learners in ways that are both
effective and efficient because the students adapt
what they see, hear, and do. To achieve better

school and at home
Product: The teacher will give activities that will
define the capability of each student. After that, the
learners will be having exercises and drills that will
improve their physical fitness. These exercises and
drills include strength training and others. The
teacher will facilitate these activities in order to
check the development and improvement of each
student. After a long time for these exercises and
drills, the teacher will ask the students to perform
some activities that will test their improvements and
development. Once the teacher checks the results,
he will give some pointers on how to improve the
results more by giving some tips and advice to the
students.
results, teachers need to be creative in their
strategies and methods. And due to improved
performances, the quality of learning
experiences will also rise. If the activities have
better quality, cooperation in competitions will
improve, too.
It will be like this: better teaching and learning
experience result in better skills acquisition and
improvement. Then, improved skills acquisition will
produce improved health conditions. Next,
improved health conditions will help the learners to
perform daily activities with ease. Lastly,
performing daily activities with ease will make the
learners more confident and competitive in their
daily lives.

iii. explain and evaluate the performance

Approaches to learning (ATL)

In order to explain and demonstrate strategies to enhance interpersonal skills, students must communicate expectations and establish team goals.
ATL Category: Social Skills

ATL Cluster: Collaboration

Specific ATL Skills:

● Communicate expectations and establish team goals

● Help each one another
● Celebrate individual success as a group achievement
● Create a clear and convincing cause
● Take advantage of the learners' strengths
● Foster unity between the learners and facilitator

Learning process
Learning experiences and teaching strategies
1. The learners will practice skill drills with the help of the facilitator. The students will work in pairs
or small groups. After plenty of tries, the learners will review their performance and think of
tactics on how to improve them with the help of the facilitator.
2. After the skill drills, the whole class will perform a series of more rigorous drills. The facilitator will
be facilitating the drills to guide the learners about the rules and for safety purposes. The
learners will use the tactics they learned down to the skill drills they performed.
3. After the skill drills, the facilitator will ask the learners to reflect on the things they learned or
changes in their play while watching the videos and performing the drills. The learners may also
share their knowledge as feedback to improve others' performance. The facilitator will also give
some feedback about the learners' performance and share some tactics for improvement.
Formative assessment
1. It will be self-assessment as the learner tries to follow his/her notes. Peer-assessment will be
between the pair or group members while attempting the skill. The facilitator will also help the
learners by giving some advice about tactics for improvement.
2. Learners will work together to think about the tactics that they will use (group collaboration). The
facilitator's observation will also be the guiding factor when the facilitator gives some advice to
the learners.
3. The assessment will be the learners’ reflection of what they discover from the skill drills, and the
games (Self-assessment). Group assessment will also be present in group discussions. The
facilitator can also give some advice and share some observations about the activities.
Differentiation
1. The skills of the learners will differ from each other. The learners who have prior experience with

 the skills will be paired and grouped with learners who need some improvement. The facilitator
will also give more guidance to the learners who need more help.
2. Learners don't have the same skillset. The teams will be balanced for everyone to have a fair
chance of winning. 'Good' learners will be mixed up with the learners who need more guidance.
The tactics used will also vary based on the group members' ability to strategize and the idea
they acquired from the previous activities.
3. The learners' reflection will vary based on their own experiences. The learning experiences of
each learner differ from one another. Some may discover new things while some may find new
strategies to improve their skills.
