Badminton in Indonesia is a national past time. With members of the class possessing a wealth of knowledge on the skills of the game. This is another fantastic opportunity for the more advanced members of the class to coach others the basics to get the unit started.
We will particularly be focusing on "what traits and dispositions do we need to develop to enable us to coach and learn from one another?"
Some of the skills the students will be coaching include the backhand short serve, the high serve, the underhand clear and the overhead clear.
In addition I've also been experimenting with the game Volleyball/Badminton, where you play badminton but with the rules of Volleyball. Having done Volleyball with the G3's last year, this is a great opportunity for the students to use their knowledge of another sport, whilst play a different sport.

Goal Setting
Taking the unit in a slightly different direction because of the needs of the students, I made the decision that the students need to identify a short term goal in their badminton game, e.g. movement, serve, communication etc. and start working towards achieving it. They could do this in a number of ways:- use an expert in the room (that could mean me, but it could also be a peer or a fiend who has already accomplished that goal).
- now that the goal is highlighted, focus on it within the game - make it a priority.
- take the game beyond the PE class and play it in recess or at home - really practice nailing that skill or concept.
