Short Answer
1. Identify the variables used to select an appropriate teaching style.
ANS: A teacher must identify the lesson objectives based upon the skill level of the students, their
knowledge and how they behave. The type of activity must be identified, such as body management,
manipulative or rhythmic skills. A teacher selects an appropriate teaching style based on students'
individual characteristics, interest, developmental levels, socioeconomic status, motivation and
background. Class size, types and number of equipment, and facilities impact selection. Abilities, skills
and comfort levels of the teacher are variables that need to be considered.
REF: 37-38
3. Identify the three developmental patterns that typify the growth of primary-grade children.
ANS: Primary-grade children develop from head to foot. Coordination and management occur in the
upper body before being observed in the lower. Development occurs from inside to outside. Children
control their arms before controlling their hands. They can reach for objects before they can grasp them.
The third pattern of development proceeds from general to specific. Gross motor movements are learned
before fine motor coordination and refined movement patterns.
REF: 44-45
4. Identify the four basic areas of a lesson plan and the four-part lesson plan.
ANS: The four areas of a basic lesson plan include the objectives, equipment, instructional activities, and
teaching hints. The four part lesson starts with a 2-3 minute warm-up that sets the tone for the rest of the
lesson. This is followed by the physical fitness and activity section. The second part is designed to
enhance health-related fitness and promote lifetime physical activity. The lesson focus is designed to
teach physical skills. The closing activity is the fourth part of the lesson and stresses and reinforces skills
learned, revisits performance techniques, and checks for cognitive understanding.
