Name: Emma Gagne Date: 12/12/23, 12/19/23 Time: 57 min

School: Dean Tech Lesson #: 2/4 Facilities: Gym Class Size: 19-36
Grade: 9-12 (differentiated within lesson) Unit/Theme: Basketball Generic Level: precontrol-proficiency
Equipment: 18 basketballs, 2-3 hoops, 20 cones
Focus of Lesson: Shooting Practice

Student Performance Objectives (SPO): (National # ; MA CF # ; Task/Activity # )

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
(P) SWBAT practice shooting mid- and deep- range shots by bending their knees and keeping their eyes locked in on the rim when
shooting at least 5 times by the end of the lesson. (National #: S1.H1.L2, MA CF #: 2.17, Activity #1-2)
(C) SWBAT identify the 4 major components of shooting in Basketball and what they each look like when asked as a group at the end
of class. (National #: S2.H1.L1; MA CF# 2.17, Closure)
(A) SWBAT exhibit respectful competitive play by not engaging in poor sportsmanship, illegal play, or bringing down
opponents/teammates for the entirety of the lesson. (National #: S4.H2.L1, MA CF # 2.26, Entire Lesson)
Check each objective – is it specific? Is it achievable? Is it developmentally appropriate?

Teacher Performance Objectives – During the lesson the teacher will:

● TWBAT implement intentional questioning through reflective, checking for understanding, and open ended questions at least 3
times by the end of the lesson. (1.A.3 Well-Structured Units and Lessons)
● TWBAT ensure that all students are participating in some way, shape, or form (in the activity, walking, scorekeeping, stat
keeping, officiating, Learning Packet, etc.) and that they are fully informed of what they are responsible for doing. (2.A.3
Meeting Diverse Needs, 2.E.1 High Expectations)

Special Considerations – What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the students in this class?
● Do not shoot if anyone is standing under the basket.
● Do not pass to someone unless they have their hands up and are looking.
 ● Keep contact to a minimum!
● No diving for loose balls.
● Be aware of surroundings (walls, curtains, bleachers, people).
● Do not walk through the court if play is going on.
● No intentional fouling (will go over and draw on past sports). Keep play clean.
● Proper footwear is required!
● Do not touch, pull on, hang on, or play with the goals.
● Any injuries that occurred prior to class need to be told to the teacher. Any injuries that happen during class must be reported.

● You cannot step on or go past the free throw line until
after the ball has hit the rim.
● Class will divide into groups. One group at each
basket.
● Each student will take 10 free throws. Everyone else
in the group will rebound for them and stand outside
the paint. 1-2 rounds?
● They will keep track of how many they make and then
 report their scores to me.

Hot Shot Shooting Competition

● We will be using all 3 hoops.
● There will be hot spots on the ground that designate
different places where the students will shoot from.
● Depending on the distance from the hoop, the spots
will be worth different point values.
● Each student will get 1.5 minutes to take as many
shots as they can. Possibly do 2 students at a time per
hoop to save time.
● They cannot shoot from the same spot twice in a row.
● Students not shooting will either keep track of the
shooter’s score or rebound. Need to have people in
both positions.
● The goal is to have the most points at the end of the
time.
● They will report their scores to me.
● Ready to Shoot:
○ Athletic stance, toes to basket, hands up
● Extensions: more/less time, must shoot from all point
values at least once, rebound for yourself
● Checking for Understanding:
○ What are the point values?
○ Can you shoot from the same spot twice in a
row?
○ What does being ready to shoot look like?
30 sec Transition
● Students will place their basketballs in the rack.
● Bring students together at the whiteboard to discuss
options for the end of class.

● Knockout
 ○ One line at the FT line. First 2 people in line

○ Keep shooting until you make it.
○ The first shot must be from the FT line, but
after that it can be from anywhere.
○ Once one gets out or scores, they pass the ball
