PHYSICAL EDUCATION FINAL PROJECTS

 

 

 

Unit Overview

 

This unit will consist of two projects. These projects will allow you to demonstrate your knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement and performance, as well as your ability to recognize the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and/or social interaction.

Project #1


This project will allow you to demonstrate your knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement and performance. To complete this project, you will be completing an analytical portfolio:
In an activity of your choosing (games, gymnastics, dance, outdoor activities, track and field, aquatics or any other physical activity) demonstrate your understanding of how to apply strategies and biomechanical principles of performance in real-world settings. Portfolios may be a written paper, a PowerPoint presentation, or a video demonstrating and explaining the information required in the rubric.

  • Appropriate critical elements and biomechanical elements of performance are not identified or described.

OR

  • Personal performance is not described or the drills, cues or fitness activities presented would not facilitate performance improvement.

Project #2


This project will allow you to recognize the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and/or social interaction.

For this project you will develop a marketing campaign for physical activity that links all the components of fitness, exercise and effects on brain function, health benefits and emotional health for your favorite activity. The marketing campaign also should specifically identify at least two reasons from the following categories: enjoyable aspects, social benefits, challenging aspects, opportunities for self-expression. The marketing campaign could include a letter, poster, video, commercial, PSA, skit or any other acceptable method to communicate the importance, benefits and factors that lead to the enjoyment of the activity.
