Assessment plan
In addition to the systematic observations that will assess motor differences, time spent in
physical activity; you should spend this session assessing the affective skills of your
students and cultural differences you may see emerge. Take notes on the following and
include in your reflection journal:
- What languages did you hear the students speak?
- Who did the students partner with if given a choice?
- During down time who did the students socialize with?
- Were the students able to work effectively and without conflict with their
partners/teams? If not, what factors seemed to be causing conflict?
