Title

Video Skills, Drills and Thrills

Grade Level

10-12

Subject Area

Physical Education

Overview of unit/lessons/activities (assumptions of prior knowledge/learning)

This is a great lesson plan when the gym is unavailable to P.E. teachers.

Go to http://stephen.schell.googlepages.com/videoskills%2Cdrillsandrules, and follow the instructions under, "Notes for Teachers".

Students will learn how to create short videos that highlight a specific drill, skill or rule for physical education activity, game or sport. For example, students could create a short video that explains a ball dribbling drill in basketball.

This lesson can be used as a whole class lesson plan, dependent upon availability of technology or done in small groups. There are links to take the teacher to different tutorials if they do not have prior knowledge of video production.
