Building Lifelong Learners: Students will be able to use the movement skills and understandings in other areas of physical
activity. And this will also encourage them to explore and try new activities in the future.
Building a Sense of Self and Community: Students can gain ownership in their skills because of the individual and team aspects
of the activity. Students will be expected to work with each other, help each other and learn from each other. (Expectations will be
given before the start of the unit and before each lesson.)
Building Engaged Citizens: Students can continue to pursue activities that utilize and respect the environment. The students will
go to and use a community funded/built park (disc golf course).
Developing Thinking: (Think and Learn Creatively) Understanding the basic physical movements, relationships, and components
of active living will allow the students to think creatively and expand during altered situations.
Developing Identity and Interdependence: (Understand, Value, and Care for Others) Create a lesson and environment that is
inclusive of all students while understanding when differentiated learning may be needed. Allows for students to incorporate their
specific cultural backgrounds and enrich the lessons where it is possible. Understand our place, which helps shape our identity, we
live/stand on Treaty 6 Terrirtoy.
Developing Literacy: (Construct Knowledge Related to Various Literacies) Build and reinforce movement patterns that can be
used in multiple areas of physical activity
Developing Social Responsibility: (Take Social Action) Create learning environment where students have the opportunity to
teach and learn from peers. Students will be encouraged to give each other feedback and help each other reach their personal
goals (as they have set in their assignment). One of the ways they may reach those goals is to get help from a peer who is already
competent/strong at that specific skill.
Learning Outcomes
What relevant goals will this unit address?
(must come from curriculum; include the designations e.g. IN2.1)
PE9.4
Implement personal plans for improvement of a self-selected skill-related component of fitness (power, agility, speed, reaction time,
balance, and coordination) as it applies to complex movement skills used in a sport or activity of interest (e.g., power in the legs to
increase vertical jump for volleyball spike, agility for avoiding a pin in wrestling, balance used in ballet, coordination used in juggling
or cup stacking).
-After the introductory lessons for the disc sports, students will pinpoint an area or skill from disc golf or ultimate that they want to
improve on. They will create a personal plan for improvement with a goal to reach by the end of the unit. They will outline their plan
to develop and improve that particular skill. At the end of the unit they will assess how they have done in reaching their goal and
whether or not they have shown improvement in that specific skill (along with a why or why not paragraph of writing). Skills can
range from putting, driving, improving backhand throwing skill or improving forehand throwing skill (which I need improvement in
haha) and etc.
PE9.5
Build skills towards proficiency in four self-selected complex movement skills including one from four of the following categories:
target games (e.g., bowling, curling, golf, archery)
striking/fielding games (e.g., long ball, softball, slo-pitch, cricket)
net/wall games (e.g., badminton, tennis, table tennis, volleyball)
invasion/territorial games (e.g., basketball, soccer, touch football, soft lacrosse, floor hockey, rugby, ultimate frisbee, double ball,
team handball)
alternate environment activities (e.g., orienteering, skating, cross-country skiing, canoeing, roping, downhill skiing, dog sledding,
wall climbing, in-line skating, skate boarding, cycling)
body management activities (e.g., dance, wrestling, track and field, pilates, martial arts, yoga, aerobics, gymnastics).
-Disc Golf fits right into the proficiency in target games (you are throwing discs at a target, the basket), as well as alternate
environment activities as we will be taking the bus to Diefenbaker park and playing disc golf on the course there.
-Ultimate frisbee is listed as one of the possible examples and is a strong one for invasion/territorial games.
PE9.6
Design and implement, collaboratively, plans to use effective tactics and strategies (while considering rules and skills when
participating in a variety of movement activity situations) to enhance performance and enjoyment of self and others in each of the
following:
target games (e.g., bowling, curling, golf, archery, bocce ball)
striking/fielding games (e.g., long ball, softball, slo-pitch)
net/wall games (e.g., badminton, tennis, table tennis, volleyball, pickleball)
invasion/territorial games (e.g., basketball, soccer, touch football, soft lacrosse, floor hockey, rugby, ultimate frisbee, double ball,
team handball) low-organizational, inventive, and cooperative games (e.g., capture the flag, prisoner's base, speedball, kick the can,
bombardment, dodgeball).
-Once again, both disc golf and ultimate frisbee fit perfectly into this outcome. Disc golf as a target game and ultimate as an
invasion/territorial game. I will design and implement strong lesson plans that involve strategies for both games and effective skills
that will enhance the performance and enjoyment of the students during this unit.
PE9.12
Demonstrate an understanding of and incorporate positive social behaviours into all aspects of personal involvement in movement
activities, in the context of both a participant and a spectator, after examining the positive and negative influences of organized
sports, movement competitions (e.g., dance competition), and mass media on the social behaviour of self and others.
-I will ensure the students understand my expectations that will create a stronger, more inclusive learning environment. I also will
ensure there is social time available, there will be lots during disc golf. Disc golf or regular golf allows for good social time. I will
incorporate positive social behaviours in my lessons and through demonstrations of how I act myself. Students will understand the
etiquette that is expected of them in disc golf and the respect they are expected to give each other in both disc sports. I will examine
the problems within organized sports on my own time and look to eliminate them and bring forth the positive influences that
organized sports can have on each individual. We will look into how physical activity is often marketed through media to mostly just
white people and why this is a problem.

Where are your students headed? Where have they been? How will you make sure the students know where they are
going?
What experiences do the learners bring to the unit? How have the interests of the learners been ascertained? Have the
learners been part of the pre-planning in any way? What individual needs do you anticipate will need to be addressed?
Learning environment: Where can this learning best occur? How can the physical environment be arranged to enhance
learning?
The outcomes (PE 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.12) are highlighted for this unit. The overarching goal of this unit
is that the students who are being taught will be confident, competent, proficient and motivated
because of their development in the complex skills and knowledge of disc sports. They should be
able to implement the skills they learned effectively in a variety of different environments, while
understanding the guidelines and following them with proper etiquette.
Most students have used or seen a frisbee being thrown and they have the foundation of throwing
and receiving projectiles. Now, building on their previous knowledge and skills they will understand
how to manipulate a disc in a more organized sport related setting. They will understand the
importance of different throws and how they can be used to have success.
Ensure the students have a clear idea of where they are going through the motivational set, and a
road map of each specific class. During the motivational set, expose the students to both the
professional and leisurely sides of disc sports through Youtube videos and interesting facts about
each sport.
Students will be involved in pre-planning through activity modifications, equipment setup/clean up,
and expectations/behaviour for physical education lessons that involve a new and different
environment (disc golf course). They will also develop their own plan for “skill improvement”
(assignment) and complete it at the end of the unit to see if they reached their goal, along with a
write up of why or why not. A form of technology on smartphones can help measure disc golf
throwing distance (and therefore help students see whether or not their drive is going further).
Using an App on their phones. Use the app to measure distance from where you threw to where
your disc landed. See if you can improve your distance. Nice tool for students to use and see their
improvement/ see how far they are throwing the disc. Feel free to use a step counter app to count
the steps to the disc as well. Students will share a phone if need be.
Physical abilities of the individuals will be considered. Some students will need a shorter distance
between them and their partner while others may increase the distance when throwing and
receiving a disc. For disc golf, some students will be intimidated by the teepad and the idea of
throwing off the teepad, allow students to throw from a different area (ahead of the teepad or off to
the side). Students with behavioural problems/attention disorders will be addressed when they are
disruptive to other learners. Proximity based strategy, stand closer to them when going over
instructions/demonstrations.
The learning environment can be enhanced by instructing in a position where distractions are
behind the student. Standing with students on the edge of the circle so each student is visible as
opposed to in the middle of the group. The learning can be done in a classroom but the gym would
be a preference so that the students can transition to the activity quickly.
How will you engage students at the beginning of the unit? (motivational set)
- Ultimate is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and can be played
anywhere
- Use technology, such as YouTube videos, to provide visual examples of the sports
being played at competitive and recreational levels. Ensure athletes of multiple
different cultural backgrounds and genders are shown in the videos, to enhance
the inclusiveness and culturally sensitive learning environment.
- Ultimate is likely to be added to the summer Olympics
- The world record for longest disc thrown (disc golf disc) is 1,109 feet by David
Wiggins Jr. (show video? If there is time)
- There are professional tournaments and world championships held for
professional disc golfers
- On average, an Ultimate Frisbee player runs 4km in a one hour game.
What events will help students experience and explore the enduring understandings and essential questions in the unit?
How will you equip them with needed skills and knowledge?
Considerations Comments
Required Areas of Study: Yes, because the learning experiences will create
Is there alignment between outcomes, performance
assessment and learning experiences? a holistic lesson on disc sports. It will cover the
spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental aspects
at the individual, community, and environmental
levels. The outcomes and performance
assessments will align with each other and give
clarity to how the students have succeeded in
developing the skills. The assessment works
together with the learning experiences and the
mandatory learning outcomes to show each
student’s understanding and learning.
Adaptive Dimension: For struggling students:
Have I made purposeful adjustments to the Physical:
curriculum content (not outcomes), -Shorten throwing and receiving distance
instructional practices, and/or the learning
-Shorten distance to target (disc golf)
environment to meet the learning needs
-Stick to one throwing style (develop one type of throw)
and diversities of all my students?
-Throw from beside the teepad or in front of the teepad
(teepad can be intimidating)
-Alter discs that are being thrown for disc golf. Often
new players assume the max distance driver will go
the furthest, but you need to be able to throw it
properly in order for it to go far. Beginners need to start
by throwing a putter, midrange or an understable driver
to see the best results and disc flight for their throw.
This will ensure all students feel success while
practicing the skills effectively.
Affective/Cognitive:
-Show the student a video on YouTube breaking down
the movement pattern/skill. Some students learn better
seeing a video of the mechanics being broken down
into parts, as opposed to just watching the teacher
demonstrate it in regular speed/ explain the mechanics
with words.
Instructional Approaches:
Do I use a variety of teacher directed and student
centered instructional approaches? The unit will begin with teacher-directed
instruction but will move towards student-
centered instruction. This transition will occur
because the PE9 level students need to build on
their leadership and cooperation skills to move
forward in their individual growth.
Performance Task:
-Test on the understanding of Ultimate Frisbee and Disc Golf as sports (verbal/oral
testing or written)
-Hand in a completed personal plan for improving skills as they relate to these sports
(write a reflection on whether or not you improved and/or if you reached your
goals and explain why).
-Skill testing/assessment – assessment of skills successfully can perform each
skill practiced in the unit (assessed throughout, but final assessment is done after
the unit to see the improvement and final result of the learning involved)
