AO | Learning Outcome | Learning experiences | Assessment opportunities |
---|---|---|---|
3A4 | Ākonga will describe how their actions, and those of others during competition affect their personal sense of self worth. |
The class is involved in a game of endball where the teacher has encouraged disruptive behaviour (cheating, lack of participation, negative comments, or unfair umpiring by teacher). Ākonga reflect and discuss how they felt during the game using the themes: winning and losing, fair play and cheating, the importance of rules, and discrimination and inclusiveness. View video footage of competitors infringing during competition. Discuss the impact and effect on them and the rest of the team. |
Formalising discussions into written responses, group recording activity and reporting to class (anecdotal - teacher gauges the feelings and responses from the class). Ākonga publish individual statements to support fair play treaty (display on class wall - formative). Design a fair play certificate that highlights positive competitive behaviours (summative). |
3B4 | Ākonga will participate in invasion games and describe how competition can affect people's behaviour. | Ākonga share ideas and devise modifications to rules and/or scoring to combat cheating, reward fair play and teamwork, and foster inclusion. | Ākonga use peer assessment sheet to provide feedback on their teaching and officiating of their designed or modified game. |
