Benchmarks/Standards: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.9-10.7 Integrate quantitative or technical analysis (e.g., charts, research data) with qualitative analysis in print or digital text. CS#2: The physically literate individual applies knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement and performance M.1.OP.4 Demonstrate ability to safely manipulate or use equipment related to selected outdoor pursuits in dynamic settings M.1.OP.3 Demonstrate ability to select clothing and/or equipment appropriate to selected outdoor pursuit and outdoor conditions in dynamic settings.

Behavioral Objectives: C1. TSW describe appropriate clothing for the outdoor activity of orienteering C2. TSW demonstrate the ability to safely manipulate a GPS device by following all safety instructions for the device which were verbalized by the instructor at the beginning the activity Entering Waypoints C3. TSW demonstrate the ability to enter coordinates into a GPS device correctly by physically entering a list of waypoints into his/her GPS device on his/her own during the applied activity Entering Waypoints C4. TSW apply knowledge of latitude and longitude by following the output data from a GPS device during the applied activity Entering Waypoints Objective/Purpose: What: Today we are learning how to enter waypoints (coordinates) into a GPS device, and then use the GPS device to travel between those points. How: we each have our own GPS and will be practicing entering points into our GPS device before we practice moving between those coordinates by following the output data on the GPS. Why: this skill is the central for the outdoor, lifelong physical activity known as Geocaching. This activity is like a mini treasure hunt where you find coordinates online for parks or downtown areas, enter the coordinates provided in a GPS, and then travel around the area looking for the hidden caches at each checkpoint. Once you find a cache, you take a prize, record your name and the date, and then leave a prize of your own. Anticipatory Set: Students are performing a relay-type warm-up that utilizes locomotor and upper body fitness movements: running, skipping, push-ups, hopping, sit-ups, and slide. Students are broken up into their running groups and stand within their groups on the baseline on either side of the gym. When the whistle blows the first student in line runs down to the opposite cone (white line) and back two times; downand-back, down-and-back. Once all students from the first wave have completed their leg of the relay the next group goes once the whistle has been blown. This continues for each skill until all students have gone and all skills have been completed with each student completing two down-and-backs for each skill, waiting each time for the whistle to be blown to begin their leg of the relay.

Warm-up: 1. running 2. skipping 3. push- ups 8-8-8 students run down to the cone (white line) perform 8 push-ups then run back to the baseline and perform 8 more push-ups, then run back to the cone (white line) and perform the last 8 push-ups then run back to the baseline 4. hopping right and left Students are hopping down on their right foot and then running back, then hopping down on their left foot and running back. 5. sit-ups 8-8-8 students run down to the cone (white line) perform 8 sit-ups with a partner holding their feet, then run back to the baseline and perform 8 more sit-ups, then run back to the cone (white line) and perform the last 8 sit-ups then run back to the baseline *partner holds their feet each time 6. sliding

Input: method and materials needed to present the lesson: A. Task Analysis: a. After the warm-up, bring students to the white board and as a class review the information from last class period. The instructor will then ask the class to describe what they believe appropriate clothing would be if an individual was planning on participating in a physical activity involving hiking-type activities. As students describe each piece of clothing, the instructor will place a photo of that piece of clothing on the white board; the instructor may need to prompt the class with phrases such as, Would we need any sort of headgear? Once the class has described all necessary and appropriate clothing for an outdoor activity, the instructor will then go over how to safely and responsibly use a GPS device. b. The instructor will hand out 1 GPS device to each student. As the instructor goes over how to turn on and use the device, students will follow along by performing the same process on their own devices. How to enter waypoints 1. turn the GPS device on 2. press in a hold the click-stick to access the Mark Waypoint page 3. Using the click-stick, highlight the Location Field on the Mark Waypoint page 4. Enter coordinate using the numerical keyboard on the screen. 5. Highlight and press okay when finished. 6. Once the Waypoint coordinates have been manually entered and saved, you can then use the Go To or FIND function to navigate to that waypoint 7. Press and hold the MENU/FIND button on the left side of the GPS receiver 8. On the FIND menu, select Waypoints using the Click-Stick 9. Use the Click-Stick to select the desired waypoint from the list *Waypoints are typically listed alphabetically

10. 4. Select the Go To option to create a direct line of travel to the Waypoint Note: the first (latitudinal) coordinate will always have an N as a prefix (as we are north of the equator). The second (longitudinal) coordinate will always have a W as a prefix (as we are west of the prime meridian). In addition, the first digit after the W should be entered as a zero (see illustration above). It is very important to identify and select these prefixes when manually entering waypoints on your GPS!

After the class has practiced turning on their GPS device, and entering coordinates, the instructor will put a list of coordinates on the white board for students to enter into their GPS devices. d. While students are entering in the list of coordinates, the instructor will walk around to each student, checking their device, and making sure all coordinates have been entered into the GPS device correctly, using the correct process. e. If the instructor notices any common errors during the coordinate entering process, then he/she will stop the activity, explain the mistake and how to correct it before allowing students to return to the activity f. Once every student in the class has entered the list of coordinates into his/her GPS in their entirety, the instruction will have the class line up into straight single-file lines side-by-side. As a class, everyone will walk outside in their line to the first coordinate (waypoint). Then, using their GPS devices, the class will move around the outdoor space, following the data on their GPS devices to travel to each location entered into the GPS device. g. As the class is following their GPS devices to each waypoint, the instructor is moving around to each student, checking that he/she is actually following the data on the GPS, and not simply following the lead of his/her classmates. B. Thinking levels: Knowledge: know the vocabulary associated with the activity of orienteering, and basic technology terms Compression: describe activity appropriate clothing and summarize safety and responsible use of equipment Application: practice the skills of entering waypoints into a GPS device, and use the GPS data to move from waypoint to waypoint during the applied activity Entering Waypoints C. Method and Materials: a. Ways of presenting: physical and verbal demonstration with accompanying visual aids and short lecture. b. Materials: white board clothing poster photos 1 Garmin eTrex Venture HC GPS per student list of coordinate (waypoints) outdoor space whistle

16 medium cones (for warm-up)

Modeling: a. While instructing students how to enter waypoints into their GPS devices, physically demonstrate along with verbal explanation of the process. b. Explain each step separately c. Students are following along with the verbal/physical demonstration by performing the functions along with the instructor Checking for Understanding: a. Questions: what is the first step to entering waypoints into a GPS device? What do we need to remember when we are manually entering waypoints into a GPS device? How do you know where to travel to next after reaching one of your waypoints? How do you make sure you are moving in the right direction when looking at the data on your GPS? b. Teach-stop and check resume: walk around the space during the intro. And applied activity and check the students performance and explanation of process for common errors. If/when any common errors are found, bring the class together, explain the error and how to correct it before resuming the activity - - make sure to go back and check that the error has been corrected during later performance during the activity. c. Provide ways for students to respond: students are performing the skills for entering waypoints into a GPS device and verbally answering questions during the lesson activities and closure. Guided Practice: a. As a whole, the class is practicing the skill of entering waypoints into a GPS device. They are then entering a list of waypoints provided by the instructor, moving to an outdoor space and then using the data from the GPS to travel from waypoint to waypoint. Closure: After the group has traveled between all the checkpoints (waypoints) in the outdoor space, have the class move back into the gym and come together in the center of the space. Have the class turn off their GPS device, and then collect the GPS device from each student. Review: what skill did we learn and practice today? What are some things to remember when entering waypoints into a GPS device? What are some things to remember when following the data on the GPS device to travel from waypoint to waypoint? Reiterate: This skill is an important part of many lifelong physical activities, and can be useful if you ever find yourself lost, in an unfamiliar place. Dismissal: Everyone stand up and you each have to tell me one appropriate piece of clothing to wear for the activity we just practiced before you can go change.
