Date: 4/12/13 Time: 7 minutes
Unit: Track and Field (Hurdles) Lesson Focus: Hurdles Equipment: 12 hurdles Play space needed: Leg of the track Safety: One student in a lane at all times while hurdling. All students after they finish hurdling over the last hurdle must clear the track.
Objectives:
Learning Domain(s) Objective(s) National Standard(s) NYS Standard Cognitive Students will be able to identify and summarize the three phases of the hurdle jump. 2 1A Psychomotor Students will be able to perform a lead leg over the hurdles at knee height at a control level. 2 1A
Time Task Organization Cues Challenges and Modifications 2 min. Introduction: Review the three phases of the hurdle. The teacher will ask the students what a lead leg and trail leg is. The teacher will also ask one student to physically demonstrate a proper lead leg and trail leg. Once the demonstration is over the teacher will show pictures of athletes performing hurdling properly. Students are lined up on the starting line facing the instructors. Cones will designate the starting line. Students must start behind the cones. Approach: - 8 steps to first hurdle - Begin horizontal - Start with lead leg Take off: -Fast lead leg -Drive lead leg -Take off on trail leg
-Approach -Take-off -Hurdle Clearance Assistant teacher will demonstrate hurdling over the hurdle. Hurdle clearance: -Toe up -Tuck trail leg behind hip 3min 1) The three lanes will be given a signal to begin to clear the first hurdle. Once the student in that lane hurdles over the last hurdle the next person in line will go. Students will focus on getting their lead leg knee height or higher. The students will use the leg they felt most comfortable with last class. 2) Students will go twice at a jogging pace and twice at a sprinting pace. 3) As other students are performing the hurdle the students next in line are responsible for analyzing the quality of movement from the athlete performing. The students will give their peer feedback on either something they did correctly or something they can work on. Students will divide evenly into three lanes and four hurdles per lane. Once the student hurdles over the last hurdle they will clear the lanes and walk on the perimeter of the lanes in order to return to the lines. Same cues as above
Challenge: - Imagine a life sized hurdle. How high can you get?
Modification: -Perform the motion beside the hurdle -Change your lead leg 2 min Closure: The students will each have a stage of the hurdle which they must orally summarize to their groups. The students are encouraged to incorporate the new vocabulary for the unit such as lead leg, trail leg and horizontal. Students will return to the start line facing the instructors where the lesson began. Each of the three lanes will be assigned one of the stages of hurdling. What is the name of the stage? If the stage in the beginning middle or end of the jump? How are your legs positioned? Are there any common
They will need to find groups of three with one student from each lane. errors?
