Task overview
Assessment name Portfolio – Professional Planning (Critical Design and Reflection)
Task description You are to demonstrate your understanding of the social constructs and planning processes that underpin learning episodes in Primary Health and Physical Education (HPE) by reflecting on the design of a professional lesson plan. You are then required to design your own lesson plan with annotated/supporting evidence. You will be provided with a lesson template that showcases and scaffolds the teaching and learning of primary HPE from the Movement and Physical Activity Strand and the Personal, Social and Community Health Strand in the Australian Curriculum. This lesson also showcases a ‘constraints-led approach’ to the design of fundamental movement skill acquisition. Your lesson should demonstrate disciplinary knowledge and understanding, such that the content descriptors, general capabilities, and cross curricular priorities are all used to enhance the impact of student learning. Your lesson plan should also clearly demonstrate how (1) the social justice considerations framework have been utilised to enrich the teaching, learning, assessment cycle for every child in the class and (2) how you have used a constraints-led approach in the design of your lesson’s physical activities. Your task consists of three components: (1) the lesson plan; (2) referenced annotations to the lesson plan; and (3) appendix that displays x2 (two) game templates of activities from x2 (two) different XNB390 tutorial workshops. 1. A lesson plan: You are to design a lesson plan for a 30-minute learning episode for a class of students in your choice of grade between Prep and year 6. Choose a combination of activities and/or games covered in XNB390 Week’s 2-5 tutorial workshops to design your lesson. The classroom context has been provided on the lesson plan template. The lesson content must focus on ACARA content descriptors and MUST have at least one General Capability embedded in the lesson. The following elements must also be clearly present in your lesson plan submission: explicit learning goals;an introduction/orientation to the lesson;identification of key activity/ies and the key lesson content;a lesson closure that links to the learning goals for the lesson;appropriate timing for each of the lesson components;
resources/equipment required for the lesson;considerations given for the different types of learners;evidence that you have included the teach/learn/assess cycle. The lesson plan must include specific details of formative approaches to assess student learning. In designing the lesson plan, relevant student safety considerations should be identified to teaching HPE and these should be included in your appendix. 2. Annotations to the lesson plan You are required to provide between 5 and 8 referenced annotations to the lesson plan. In your annotations, you are required to: draw on the theories presented in your curriculum area tutorials to justify your choice of pedagogies or teaching strategies used in the learning episode/s, including how those strategies contribute to developing student knowledge and understanding of the relevant curriculum content and skills (as per the identified ACARA content descriptors);justify why and where the teach/learn/assess cycle is in your lesson plan;reference why and how you have catered for your diverse learners;justify how a key activity in the lesson supports the learning goals set;justify how your formative assessment approaches assist in identifying student knowledge, skills and understanding;make sure that you correctly reference relevant sources (both academic and professional) using APA 7th edition referencing conventions. 3. Appendix – two game templates of games from two different workshops You are required to submit two different templates for activities/games from two different tutorial weeks. For example, you might select one from circus week and one from the upper grades as part of your assignment appendix. Formatting: You must use the template provided. Annotations MUST be included in a separate column on the right-hand side of your lesson plan. The annotations must be in full sentences and include in-text references (APA style). A reference list must be included in the submitted document. Use QUT CiteWrite to help with this requirement.
