One of my cues was "head". I wanted the students to get comfortable with having their head down and parellel to the floor of the pool. This is because during the day, students are upright and are use to this body position. While doing any kind of stroke in the pool, you as a swimmer will want to have your head down because it forces your body to aline with the water and make one more areodynamic.
Flexibility was my key element to talk about during lab D. Flexibility comes into play in almost everything students and everyone does in life. I wanted to go over why flexibility is important and life and wanted to get the students to stretch their flexibility after their dynamic warm up. I was going to use noodles for the tool to help them stretch, but I miss in communication had me react to this small problem in the lesson plan and hand them use their towels to help them stretch. I'm not just quick on my feet...I'm quick with my mind haha
My partner in the teach and I decided to break up the students in to two classes in the beginning of the class. We put colored tape on their arms to help symbolize their different teams so when we began the game of water polo we can get right into the game. As I go through learning to be a teacher I find trying to get students prepared for example a game like water before the class, it makes everything easier to go through the lesson at hand.
I'm not going to lie, I felt a little uncomfortable teaching in the pool. For one I had little room to move on my side (plus me being a be guy didn't help) and I had to teach the students from above them forcing me to talk down literally. I kind of reminded me of St. Mary's when I had to teach the elementary kids. But I didn;t really want to kneel down to their level because I knew they were not little kids, they are college students. Even though some times they do act like little kids haha. But after it all it was just a learning experience and eventhough I complained about the pool I'm glad I got to teach out of my element.
I actually looked forward to one thing to teaching in the pool. I knew I could use my surrounding to help illustrate what I was looking for when teaching the front crawl. I remembered what my aquatics instructor did when teaching the front crawl and tried to use his lesson to help my lesson. I hope if he saw my lesson it would of made him proud!!!






For Lab C I taught Toukeball and picked to focus on reaction and how to be prepared for balls to be caught. I really felt strong about my teaching performance for this lab and I am starting to understand my strengths and also my weaknesses while teaching. I wish I remembered to go back to my technology because I had everything set up and had the students prepared to use the heart rate monitors. I also realized that rushing to get all the activities in the lesson can't turnout bad and get everyone confused and hurt your lesson in the end. Sometimes you just need to shorten the lesson and continue with the lesson the next class. This is a good learning experience for me to better myself performance in the future. You can always fix or do better the next time you teach!

I know I might not be the best with getting things done outside teaching, but when I'm in the spot like I feel right at home. I feel I am just getting better everytime I teach and love to do so. Just give me a sport or activity and I'll give it a shot to teach. Tchoukball was just another challenge that I met. Just try to teach with confidence in my heart and a smile on my face. Teaching through the physical is what I try to go by. Really there is nothing you can't teach through it so why now do it?!?
Questions anyone? I love questions from students because it let's me know a couple of things. One the students are interested in my activity which makes me feel good that someone is taking notice and wants to know more about what I'm teaching. Two it let's me clarify what I am telling them so the next time I go to teach something to students or just show someone how to do something I can let them understand what I'm looking for the first time.



Reaction might be a little hard to look for unless you actually look for what helps reaction. This is why I pick the athletic stance because alot of sports use it and it is a familiar skill to many athletes. This is why I pick it because you can relate it to many different sports around the world. Better be ready, because if you can't react you will lose.

Partner Jump rope skills. I had fun trying to figure out how I was going to approach this teaching challenge. Mr. Yang through us a curve ball the day we had to teach in the racketball courts. I thought I met the challenge well. I can see the positives in my teaching like my loud voice. I still feel that I need to be smoother when I talk to the class but I'm sure I will get better at it when lab C and D come around. BRINGON THE NEXT CHALLENGE.

This was lab A 2 basically teaching the same skill I taught in lab A 1. This time I was more prepared for it and tried to improve it. I felt, when watching the video I was much more relazed and more smooth than the first time. I need to hersitate less when talking still. I felt I was loud and the students understood what I was asking from them. I wanted to do another drill during the 4 mins but I lost time during it.I need to keep track of time better when teaching. Maybe I should wear a watch during my lessons. Watching yourself teach helps you impove on your teaching skills and helps you improve on mistakes made in the past.

Teaching and Adapting

1) In the Teaching-Learning Process you need to develop the content in which you are teaching to what you want the learner to basically learn. To make sure the student has learned the new skill you taught them mentally and physically, as a teacher we assess the students performance.
5) In the Teaching-Learning Process, as a teacher you need to present to the class or students the tasks effectively so the students have a clear understanding of what is asked of them. Now that the teacher has explained the task in hand, the teacher will need to have a plan of how he or she will give the students time to practice and experience the task.
7) The teacher needs to understand the performance of the student all depends on learning environment or the rate of how the students is learning the task. The teacher needs to mold the class he how fast or slow the students are learning the task and give corrective feedback based on how the students progress on the task
