a shaped game.
 My mentor mentioned how students were communicating
between one another in the shaped game as they were
working together to penetrate and score a goal. When there
were no communication students often didn’t know what to do
with the ball as no one was calling for the ball. This resulted in
several turn overs. Throughout the shaped games there was an
excellent display of teamwork a all students were getting
involved. The students would also help each other on defence
by giving each other support and by applying pressure on the
ball carrier.
 My mentor noticed how the team that was losing never gave
up until the game was finished. This was a perfect display of
resilience as students were eager to get involved and keep
trying to score goals even though they were behind by 5+
points at one stage. I agree with this feedback as the resilience
began to pay off as the team that was losing started to come
back.

eh closure up on time is important because if the lesson goes
over time, I will be chewing into other teacher’s time or even
into the student’s recess or lunch. Active learning is the best
way for students to learn so its very important that I make my
instructions more concise and in context to allow students to
get the most out of the lesson.
 Throughout this lesson I didn’t really have the opportunity to
demonstrate a task in context as students had already done
the activities which made it very easy for them to get stuck
straight into it. I utilised a freeze play during the shaped game
and spoke about how the students were all congested which
effected the chances of them getting the ball and scoring. My
mentor said this is a very good way to demonstrate something
in context. I agree with this feedback as freeze plays are very
effective as the last play is fresh in everyone’s mind and it feels
like a real game.
 Reflexive practice is important in keeping students engaged. I
was observing and looking for options to adapt the lesson to
keep it fresh and fun, however, the lesson was running
smoothly and didn’t require any substantial changes. Students
were engaged and loved the big 20-minute shaped game to
finish off the mini unit. My mentor suggested that it’s
important to create a thorough lesson plan, but to always be
prepared to not follow the lesson plan as you have to be very
flexible & reflexive as anything can happen when you teach.
