I t<\/span><\/span>hought the group who lead<\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span>T<\/span><\/span>arget <\/span><\/span>G<\/span><\/span>ame<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span> on Friday did ver<\/span><\/span>y well. Their activities were<\/span><\/span> well <\/span><\/span>plan<\/span><\/span>n<\/span><\/span>ed<\/span><\/span> and<\/span><\/span> t<\/span><\/span>he t<\/span><\/span>iming and transitions were great<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0 T<\/span><\/span>he<\/span><\/span>y <\/span><\/span>also <\/span><\/span>did a fantastic job o<\/span><\/span>f<\/span><\/span> explaining the <\/span><\/span>readings<\/span><\/span>, such as the history of PE,<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>they <\/span><\/span>c<\/span><\/span>ame<\/span><\/span> up with interesting <\/span><\/span>discussion<\/span><\/span> questions. <\/span><\/span>The part I liked the most was<\/span><\/span> how th<\/span><\/span>ey demonstrated that games <\/span><\/span>which <\/span><\/span>us<\/span><\/span>e<\/span><\/span> human<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span> as<\/span><\/span> target<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> such as dodgeball, are<\/span><\/span> not <\/span><\/span>appropriate<\/span><\/span> to teach in PE class. When Steve mentioned this last week I was very <\/span><\/span>surprised<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> because <\/span><\/span>as a kid, I loved dodge<\/span><\/span>ball and ha<\/span><\/span>d<\/span><\/span> always enjoyed playing it. <\/span><\/span>My<\/span><\/span> other thought was, <\/span><\/span>it<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>s just a game<\/span><\/span> so <\/span><\/span>why do we have to take it so seriously<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span> However, from last class<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>s games and discussion, I realized <\/span><\/span>that <\/span><\/span>no matter how well the instructions <\/span><\/span>are <\/span><\/span>explained, students can still <\/span><\/span>unintentional<\/span><\/span>ly hit people in the head<\/span><\/span>. I<\/span><\/span>f this can happen with us adult<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span>, it will be even harder to prevent<\/span><\/span> it<\/span><\/span> in a younger class<\/span><\/span>. Also, <\/span><\/span>I agreed with the point mentioned that <\/span><\/span>maybe we can just laugh it off when we get hit, but <\/span><\/span>kids might feel bad if <\/span><\/span>he\/she is<\/span><\/span> the first one out. Therefore, I li<\/span><\/span>ked the revi<\/span><\/span>sed version our teaching group came up with. <\/span><\/span>I<\/span><\/span>n the modified version,\u00a0<\/span><\/span> the targets were not people, <\/span><\/span>no one will be out alone,<\/span><\/span> and the underhand<\/span><\/span>ed<\/span><\/span> throw prevented <\/span><\/span>hitting<\/span><\/span> people above their shoulders. If I have a chance to teach PE in my practicum, I will <\/span><\/span>definitely<\/span><\/span> consider using this activity in my classroom.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I thought the group who lead the \u201cTarget Game\u201d on Friday did very well. Their activities were well planned and the timing and transitions were great.\u00a0 They also did a fantastic job of explaining the readings, such as the history of PE, and they came up with interesting discussion questions.
