Lesson Plan

Grade/Subject: Phys. Ed. Unit: Badminton Lesson Duration: 33 Min

Date: March 7
Grade: 7s

OUTCOMES FROM ALBERTA PROGAM OF STUDIES

General Learning Outcomes:
Activity: Students will acquire skills through a variety of developmentally
appropriate movement activities; dance, games, types of gymnastics, individual
activities and activities in an alternative environment; e.g., aquatics and outdoor
pursuits.

Cooperation: Students will interact positively with others.

Specific Learning Outcomes:

A7– demonstrate ways to improve and refine the functional and expressive
quality of locomotor skills to improve personal performance

A7–3 demonstrate ways to improve and refine the functional and expressive
quality of nonlocomotor skills to improve personal performance

C7–3 demonstrate etiquette and fair play

Learning Objectives
Students will:
- Be able to move fluidly around the court by using correct footwork
- Be able to use their serves, and clears to play badminton in a game setting.
- Demonstrate fair play etiquette

ASSESSMENTS
Observations:
- Ability to use proper footwork
- Ability to play in a competitive
game setting using the skills we
have learnt in class
- Ability to use different serves to
gain advantage
- Demonstration of proper grip
and stance while hitting the
birdie
- Proper sportsmanship and
etiquette in the game scenario
Key Questions:
- How important is your footwork
and stance in this game?
- How can you use clear shots
(which give you more time) to
your advantage in this game?
- How can you use the footwork
and the stance to help you with
your performance?
- How can you use different
serves to put you at an
advantage?
- How are the three keys to
hitting crucial in a game
scenario?
Written/Performance Assessments:
- Kings Court will be formative assessment to their skill levels
- Have a class list for skill level at start so that it will be easier to create
teams for Olympics.

Score board (for time)
PROCEDURE
Introduction
White Board Text:
Warm up – rally with a partner (or group of 3)
Touch Hit game
Kings Court

Have layout of king’s court on the board

Have layout of the drill and what the court should look like on board.

As they come in from changing: Rally with partners to start

Assessments of Prior knowledge: Who remembers the keys to hitting a birdie?

Expectations for Learning and Behaviour: I expect you to follow my directions just
like yesterday, you were very good and I expect that to continue.

Accommodations:

Low-Management Time: They will have birdies and rackets already from rallying
with their partners. I will set up a demo court while they are rallying to decrease
that time before the explanation

Transition to Body: “everyone please come and sit around this court for a
demonstration of our next activity”
Body
Learning Activity #1: Touch Hit Game (5-7 min)
“everyone please place your rackets on the ground while I’m explaining.”
“we are going to be working on our stance and our approach today with a little
competition!”

“we are going to be rallying back and forth with a partner (or small group) with a
small catch. Every time you return a shot, you have to touch the cone in the centre
of the court before being able to return the next shot”

“you really need to focus on your footwork here because you need to be in a low
athletic stance in order to get to the cone, but you also need to make sure you are
approaching properly so you do not roll an ankle.”

“make sure you are going heel to tow and you are not hockey stopping it (demo
what that looks like) you will end up rolling your ankle if you don’t do it properly.”

Assessment/Differentiation: have the students who are more advanced touch the
cone with their hand, have those who are not as advanced touch the cone with
their feet.

Key Questions:
how important is your footwork and stance in this game?
How can you use clear shots (which give you more time) to your advantage in this
game?

Learning Activity #2: Kings Court Competition (have music playing)

We will be playing doubles kings court for the rest of class. I want you to really
focus on your stance and your footwork for today, you can use any type of shot we
have talked about”

We are going to play 3-minute games, and at the end of that time, whoever has the
highest score will move up.
The losers will move down a court.
 (have kings court layout on whiteboard)

Assessment/ differentiation: separate into competitive or non-competitive?

Key Questions:
How can you use the footwork and the stance to help you with your performance?
How can you use different serves to put you at an advantage?
How are the three keys to hitting crucial in a game scenario?

Closure
Consolidation/Assessment of Learning:
What serve did you use the most of in your games? (long or short?)
How did your footwork help you in the game?

Feedback from Students: How was class today? What kinds of badminton games
would you like to play?

Feedback to Students: You guys did amazing today! I’m very impressed with how
far you are progressing!

Transition to Next Lesson: Tomorrow we are going to practice some drop shots
and some net shots!

Added points:
- Emphasis on technique and form
o Don’t focus too much on the complicated skills or refining them (they
need to have the skill before they can refine it!)
- Have students touch the cone in Touch Hit with their foot until they can get
the footwork down – this will make it easier for them

- Brayden: he has to tally up all his wins and losses to accomplish his goal of
winning 80% - Have the tally sheet for him & hold him accountable to that
goal. (especially because we are playing kings court)

- Have the class list check list to mark down skill level (i.e., beginner,
intermediate, beginner) this will make it easier to create teams for the
Olympic tournament.

Safety Considerations:
- Make sure doors are closed
- Make sure no food/drink is on the courts
- Make sure students are changed with appropriate footwear
- Put the rackets and the birdies in the little corner of the gym by the office so
that they do not interfere with the playing area.
