Mr Imrie Standard Grade PE Blog

This week we have discussed feedback during our practical lessons. Feedback can be verbal, written or visual (a demonstration).

Describe one skill or technique where you have been given verbal, written or visual feedback and describe how it benefited you.

Enjoy your weekend and I will see you Monday.

Mr Imrie

Once you have learned a new skill you need to practise it so that it becomes automatic and you do not need to think about it.

To practise skills a player will use a series of drills which concentrate on that skill.

Task

Choose an activity and a skill from that activity. Describe a drill you used in detail to practise that skill.

Choose an activity that you have performed in PE this year. Name a particular skill and then technique that you used when performing this activity.

Finally write a short paragraph describing this technique. Use the following when describing your technique

• Preperation
• Action
• Recovery

This task is set for Homework and has to be completed by the end of the holiday.

We have now moved on to the new topic of EVALUATING in PE.

Evaluating has 2 parts

• Describing a perfromance – which means stating what you see.
• Analysing a performance – which means studying the action closely to identify its good and bad points.

Leave a reply to this post –  describe a shot in badminton, giving a clear detailed desciption of how you perform the action. For example you could describe a high serve, or an overhead clear or a smash. Think about the following when describing the performance.

• Body- Parts being used and the direction they move.
• Order – In what order do these parts move.
• Shape – what shape are the parts moved through (bent, straight, curled).
• Speed – At what speed do the movements take place.

To be completed by Monday 3rd March. Any problems to access blog see Mr Imrie by Friday 29th February.
