Assignments

Here are your assignments for AWSI

=Developing Swimmer Assignment= You will be assigned one developing swimmer progression, such as Floats. You must plan to teach a 2-3 minute lesson involving at least two progressions within your assigned progression e.g. Starfish floats with dumbbells and Starfish floats without dumbbells. You are expected to make your lesson fun and engaging. You may create a game, a prop, a song, or adapt a given song. Creativity counts! You are expected to hand in a lesson plan that meets the criteria and is easy to follow. One copy for you and one copy for me.

=Strokes Assignment= You will be expected to plan and instruct a stroke-related peer teach; breaking down your assigned stroke or portion of into its individual progressions and delivering it as you would to a group of swim kids but to your classmates! You will be expected to hand in a well-constructed lesson plan that follows the criteria outlined below. You may either type or neatly handwrite your lesson plan but please ensure you come prepared with two copies (one for us and one for you). When planning your lesson assume this is the first time your students have been introduced to the stroke. You are welcome to incorporate whatever equipment and formations you like but please utilize at least two different teaching methods throughout.

Your lesson should be about 6 minutes long.
= = =Skills and Water Safety= You will be asked to teach a skills and water safety item in a fun and safe way. Emphasis for this assignment is on fun and accuracy. Make sure you cover the items for the skill, but no other restrictions. Plan your lesson to take less than 4 minutes, total. Be aware that there may be limited pool space.

You are expected to hand in a lesson plan, one copy for the teachers and one copy for yourself to take with you.
