We will need to communicate clearly so that we can complete each task. As a group, we need to think of others and not just ourselves. 5. Provide Learner Guidance: Tape poster on the wall that describes key to good team work and communication. This will be placed on the gym wall for every student to see during the lesson. 6. Elicit Performance: Students perform each task: Task 1- two lines facing each other. Send ball down and back using different tactics (use hands, elbows, feet) Task 2- Space Chase. Two circles one within the other facing each other, one or two aliens placed inside the two circles as a path for the runner. Students need to push the ball by passing it to the people next to them as they try to roll the ball to tag the alien. (communication, each person should touch the ball). Task 3- Popcorn. One large circle, students sit in crab position, using feet to lightly tap the ball up in the air. The goal is to keep the ball inside the circle popping it up as much as possible and keeping it within the circle. (Count, communicate)

7. Provide Feedback During tasks, be sure to provide feedback regarding teamwork. If a student isnt communicating effectively, refer to poster and help students understand the key to good communication. Have students problem solve to find out why something isnt working or why it is working. 8. Assess GRASPS Assessment (teamwork) Affective Domain: SWBAT work together cooperatively while playing different games with the omnikin ball. (Assess - teacher observation) Psychomotor: SWBAT run through pathway and stay in personal space with partner. (assess - teacher observation) Cognitive: SWBAT describe to the teacher what contributed to making them successful or not successful. 9. Enhance Retention and Transfer Students will be asked to apply their understanding to the GRASPS assignment and continually throughout the course.
