LESSON ORGANISATION (based on Australian Curriculum: Health & Physical Education)

Intention: By the end of the lesson students will be able to demonstrate a basic handball in both stationary and moving
environments

Pre-lesson organisation: Ensure all equipment is pumped and organised, bibs are in colour coordinated piles, cones are
in colour coordinated piles. Organise students into teams of 8 (4 teams in total).

Equipment:
16 x AFL Balls
3 Sets of bibs in different colours e.g. 1 set of blue bibs, 1 set of red bibs and 1 set of green bibs.
Cones

Learning Area Outcomes: Year 10 AFL program (5 weeks)

Strand: Movement and Physical Activity (MPA)

Sub-Strand: Moving our Body (MB), Understanding Movement (UM) and Learning Through Movement (LM)
Focus Areas: Active Play and Minor Games (AP), Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) and Games and Sports (GS)

Time Task(s) Observations Task Management

(What students do) (What to look for) (Management of Student Group)
9.00 Beginning class organisation:
 Bring students together with them facing away from the sun.
 Introduce them to the AFL program and discuss the skills to be covered over the next 6 weeks.
 Organise classroom management e.g.1 whistle means stop look and listen, 2 whistles mean come to a stationary point
designated by the teacher and 2 whistles mean pack up the drill and come in.
 Call out groups one by one and give them the correct colour coordinated bib, doing one at a time to ensure students
don’t swap groups to be with their friends etc.
 Introduce the warm up.

instructs the students to set up THEIR next playing field ready for the next activity. Ensuring however the fields are all set up

the lesson.

However, if a pair of students cannot make

the distance then allow them to move one
step closer. Ensure they are on task and
the drill runs smoothly.

to pack the inner cones up but leave the outside 4, the field should then look like so:

9.52 Closing Organisation: Teacher will blow the whistle two times, indicating to students to pack up their field and bring the
equipment in, instruct students to place the equipment behind the teacher or in the shed if available. Then ask them to sit down
in front of the teacher with the teacher looking into the sun.

This should look like so:

9.55 Closure: Discuss what the students have learned in the lesson and ask one or two of them to demonstrate a handball stationary
and another to demonstrate a handball whilst moving.

Give a short brief introduction into the skill to be covered next week.

Again, when talking to the students the set up should look like so:
