Learning requires multiple skills and multiple skill sets. As  I sit in my language class, we discuss the act of reading. As educators, we need to realize that our students have their own unique skill sets. When it comes to reading and comprehension, it is crucial that the students are aware of the purpose behind the text, especially when they are reading in a language that is into their native language. By giving the students a reason as to why they are reading what they are reading, they are able to apply this basic back-ground knowledge to help aid their reading and deciphering vocabulary and grammar that they do not recognize. This concept can also be applied to PE. Explaining the objective of the activity and relating it to real life situations builds on students background knowledge. ie Teaching open space in rugby by relating it to other sports that students are familiar with.
