Grade 3 Reflection on "What Do You Notice?"

In response to the "What do you notice?" exercise at the beginning of the unit: Grade 3 - What Do You Notice? The students of G3 reexamined the photos and post it notes that they added to the board  at the start of the unit. Now the unit is drawing to a close they have the opportunity to go back, reflect and reposition the post it notes if they think they are in the wrong category.

Grade 3 - What Do You Notice?

To help the Grade 3's recognize some of their bad habits/gaps in knowledge of the game of football, I let them play giving them very little instruction apart from the basic rules, and took photos.

"What do you notice" gives the students the opportunity to reflect on their own game and the way they play with their peers, and it lets them comment on what is happening in the photos, both positive and negative.

I then split the comments into three areas, agree, disagree and ?

This exercise also gives direction to the unit;  hopefully filling in the gaps of their knowledge, particularly their understanding of team play, roles and responsibilities and sportpersonship.

Towards the end of the unit we will revisit the notice board and reflect on the three categories.
