PYP PE: A Fun Summative Assessment Task for Target Games (Grade 1)

12/7/2011

2 Comments

 
As a final assessment for the Target Games unit in grade 1, the students had to complete 4 different tasks showing their overall level of improvement in terms of sending an object toward a target. Inquiry was at work which allowed them to figure out the best means of sending the object (roll, throw, bounce, kick, lob, etc.) They had to:

A)Attempt to knock down a bowling pin with a ball from a distance of about 4 meters
B)Attempt to knock down a bowling pin with a bean bag from same distance
C)Attempt to get ball to stop inside of a hula hoop from same distance
D)Attempt to get bean bag into hula hoop from same distance

Over the past few weeks, we have explored many different ways of knocking a target down or getting an object into a target using various means of delivery. I really kept the unit wide open in regards to how they chose to send the object toward the target. My main aim was to get them thinking, to be active, and let them have some fun. Overall, the unit went well and improvements were made in the way the students aim and send a ball toward a target. Keeping the students engaged, on task, and challenged was my goal during the target games unit which I think that I accomplished. 

Please view video below of the summative assessment task and to see the students in action. If you do not have time to watch the video, there is a slide show of student assessment and photos as well. Take your pick!

Hi Andy, We enjoyed your post and video and are excited that you teach swimming and land PE like we do. What other grades do you teach? We liked your assessment form for grade one for your target games unit. Do you have a resource for the form, or did you make it up yourself? Do you write PYP Planners for your units? We are PE teachers teaching PYP grades PK-5 and looking to write and refine our unit planners. Thank you for posting your great work! Aloha, Kathy and Wendy

I was just wondering if you actually give the students a mark with their final summative assessments and if so, what do you base their mark on?
