    The lesson plan teaches 5th grade students how to properly shoot a basketball through a series of drills and exercises. Students will first warm up with running laps and dynamic stretches. They will then learn the fundamentals of shooting form, including bending the knees, hand placement on the ball, elbow positioning, and follow through. Students will practice shooting individually and then play some shooting games. The class will conclude with a light stretch and discussion of what was learned. The goal is for students to gain basic proficiency in shooting and to have their first experience playing an actual basketball game.

    Lesson Plan
    Grade/Subject:
    OUTCOMES FROM ALBERTA PROGRAM OF STUDIES
    General Learning Outcome(s)
    General Outcome A

    Specific Learning Outcome(s) [*both ELA and a discipline]:

    A4-5: select, perform and refine ways to receive, retain and send an object with control

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES
    Students will:

    Be able to project (shoot) a basketball with control and accuracy.

    MATERIALS

    Basketballs, pinnies

    PROCEDURE
    Anticipatory Set

    Introduction

    1) The kids will gather around, while I gather attendance and explain that we will be doing
    shooting today. (2 minutes)
    2) I will get the kids to run 3 laps around the gym and then the class will break into a dynamic
    stretch. (1 minute)
    3) For the dynamic stretch- high knees, but kicks, shuffles (both ways), crossovers, kicks and
    to end floor sweeps. Once the kids are warm and blood is moving, the lesson can begin. (4
    minutes)
    4) As a warmup game for basketball, I like the game of Olly, Olly Octopus. It is a modified
    version of British Bulldog, but has basketball practicalities.

    Transition into Body

    Body

    Shooting is a hard skill to get the hang of. It takes years and thousands of repetitions to be good at
    the skill. That being said, I will teach them the basics of the skill.

    1) Everyone in the class will require a basketball and will stand in a line waiting for further
    instruction. From there I will teach them the basic principles for shooting a basketball.
    2) The first principles are bending your knees. The shot originates from the legs and it is
    1

    important to have a strong base. The feet should be shoulder width apart and the shooting
    hand foot should be slightly ahead of the other one.
    3) From there I will teach them where their hand should be on the ball. The dominant hand
    should be centered on the ball at a comfortable position. The offhand should make a T with
    the dominant hand, with a little gap in between the hands.
    4) The shooting elbow should be at or close to 90 degrees when shooting the basketball. The
    shooting elbow should be in line with the corresponding leg. So, everything is in a straight
    line.
    5) Lastly, is the follow through. I like the analogy that you should be reaching into the cookie
    jar when shooting a basketball.
    6) An easy way to understand in the acronym BEEF. Balance, elbow, extension, follow
    through. I will have them shoot the ball 5 times up in the air, just so they can get the hang
    of the skill.
    7) From there I will spread the kids out at the available hoops, and they can give it a try. It
    will probably be struggle with baskets being made, but that is expected of students first
    time trying the skill.
    8) I will give them a couple minutes to shoot around, and then I will break into different
    sections and we will play a game or two of bump. I know the class has previously played
    bump, so I will not need to explain the game to them.
    9) For the remainder of the class, I am going to try and combine the skills we have previously
    learned and try a real game of basketball. Instead of breaking the class into teams and
    having students sit and wait to get into the game, I will have them all out at once but have
    four or five basketballs going. This way I can try and get maximum participation from all
    students within the class. This will be the first time that some students have ever tried a
    game of basketball, so it might be utter pandemonium out there, but I’ll make the best of it.

    Closure

    As a closing exercise I like to stretch it out quickly with the class. This is a good cool down for the
    class and I can discuss how the class went and what we have learned for the day. I will line the
    kids up and they can go to their next class.
