Differentiation Strategies:
Accommodations/modifications
- For exceptional learners: additional time to practice skills, further
explanations/demonstrations of skills, one-on-one work, extra personal space,
motivations, encouragement, and confirmation of correct execution.
- Use a slower moving ball, like a beachball, for students having problems using a
volleyball.
Multiple Intelligences:
1. Verbal/Linguistic: listening, reading, speaking, viewing, and representing.
2. Mathematical/Logical: patterns (locating positions on court).
3. Visual/Spatial: visual demonstration, individual assessment.
4. Bodily/Kinesthetic: movement during rotation.
5. Musical/Rhythmical: rhythm for rotation, music may be played in background.
6. Interpersonal: teamwork.
7. Intrapersonal: individual work, self-assessment.
Key Words/Vocabulary:
- Home base: the circle in the middle of the gym.
- Rotation:
Assessment Evidence (Assessment for AS/FOR/OF Learning):
FOR: Observations of rotations (see performance indicators).
AS: Students will self-assess based on rotations criteria.
OF: N/A
Activating Strategies: Preparing for Learning: (how will students activate and extend prior
knowledge and make connections with what they know and what they will learn?)
- Instant activity: Have a list of 8-10 exercises listed on the whiteboard ready for when the
students enter the gym (ex. 3 Laps, 20 jumping jacks, 25 arm circles, 15 mountain
climbers, 25 squats,10 push-ups, 10 lunges, 1 minute wall sit).
- Have the students grab a volleyball and allow them to use their prior knowledge to
manipulate the ball while they wait for other students to complete the warm-up.
Acquiring Strategies: Integrating and Processing Learning: (how will students acquire new
information or processes?)
- Teacher will gather students at home base and explain there are 6 positions on the
court (1- right back, 2- right front, 3- middle front, 4- left front, 5- left back, 6- middle
back), drawing a diagram of positions and rotation direction on whiteboard if needed.
- Teacher will inform students the direction of rotation is always clockwise, and the back
right corner is always the server.
- Some students will be directed to a position on one side of the court, another 6 will be
directed to positions on the opposing side (remaining students will stay seated and
watch the example demonstration of rotations).
o Rather than bumping and/or setting, students will catch the ball and pass it to
each other (1-2, 2-3, 3-over the net where person 1 on the other team catches
the ball and repeats the process)
- Teacher will use examples as they happen (teaching moments). If a student drops a ball,
if the ball goes out of bounds, 5 serves, when to rotate.
