Lesson Plan

For my lesson plan, I am going to have the children research the many benefits of team sports. I will have them research in groups everything from social to health benefits and then have them organize them in a concept map/web, or an interactive powerpoint to show the class. After this part is done, I will then branch off into a "mini lesson" on kickball as an example and have them relate each concept they found in their research to that sport specifically. I will then have the children create poster boards that will hang around school to promote not only the benefits they researched, but our event as well. I want to use this lesson as a building block to show the significance of why we chose kickball instead of any other team sport. You lessons look great and it looks like we are all focusing on different aspects of it! :)
