Students will develop a disability/activity awareness project. Students will create detailed information about a specific disability and ways sport activities can be modified to accommodate the disabilities.You will choose your sport and I will assign your disability!!
Details will include:characteristics (cognitive, affective, psychomotor) of the disability, the implications for teaching and teaching strategies that best serve our students. Include other pertinent information and links to resources on the web (at least 5 well-checked websites)
Students will create a narrative PowerPoint presentation (that means your voice will be heard from slide to slide and transition automatically).If you do not do a narrative presentation will automatically lose 15 points on the assignment.
Presentations will be approximately 20 minutes in length, include “technology” components where appropriate, and emphasize sample activities that can be used by physical educators either as modifications or in direct application with the targeted special population.
The key elements that
must
be addressed include:
- Characteristics (cognitive, affective, psychomotor) of the disability,
