WALT:  I  will be able to explain desired technique including elements that prevent injury, body stance, and desired outcome depending on what activity I am competing in.
Indicator One: Describe what factors influence my attitude towards and participation  in a range of physical activities	Indicator Two: Perform and repeat linked movement sequences that display consistency and control	Indicator Three: Discuss how taking on different roles affects my relationships, attitudes and behaviours	Indicator Four: Plan strategies to promote participation in recreational activities

I can describe my current attitude towards participation in athletic activities. I can identify personal reasons that contribute in forming my attitudes towards athletics I can discuss reasons for learning athletics skills I can identify the factors which may change my attitude or participation in athletic activities I can take action to improve my performance by setting realistic goals  and evaluating them for individual and group training sessions. I can identify the many forms of success in relation to learning and developing skills around athletics	I can qpply sprinting technique in a range of warm up games I can perform pushing and slinging activities with the correct technique. I can  refine basic jumps I can  demonstrate correct take off, flight and landing techniques when jumping for height and distance in a range of activities I can develop an understanding of skill development I can  plan and practice strategies to improve  my personal performance	I can  following instructions I can  give instructions I can give and receive constructive feedback. I can  take responsibility in supporting a partner to improve their performance I can  value feedback and act upon it. I can  take action to provide a supportive learning environment I can  discusses the cooperation needed to perform relay activities safely I can help formulate and follow the rules to promote safety. I can identify the influence that competition can have on an individual's behaviour.	I can Include reluctant participants with encouragement. I can employ the ‘Inclusions approach’ ie. Doesn’t matter who ends up in your relay team. I can actively find other people to train with at morning tea and lunch times.
Technical Skill Developmental Points The difference between throwing and pushing (chucking) what does the different wrist action look like.  How do you prevent injuring your wrist when pushing a shot-put?  Will model getting the 2 steps for your starting position.  How close the shot-put is tucked into your neck.  The slight tilt of your head.  Using your other hand to aim for the direction you want your shotput to go to.  The follow through action so you don’t end up scew-wiff.  Not to go over the indicated line. The wrist action that is needed to throw a softball.  Standing still and running up.  Throwing not too high and not too low (wanting distance not height) The scissor action  using your legs to get over the high jump.  The different body movement flow.  The difference between these.  The test to see if you run in from the left or right hand side.  Desired place to land on the mat. Frosby Flop? Landing with 2 balanced feet in the long jump.  Balance from your thigh muscles and hand positions so you don’t fall backwards.   Long distance running and pace.  Breathing techniques and arm movements. Take offs for sprint starting of races. Baton changeover techniques.  Hand up or down and the difference.  What is the increased chances of dropping the baton with a hand that is up?  Starting to run slowly before the baton reaches you and keeping momentum.  Body stance and tilted head (looking backwards)  Position of 4 runners.   The fastest person last, 2nd fastest 1st and the other 2 doesn’t matter too much.

Note Taking and Note Making

We take notes to help us remember information we read or hear. Sometimes we need to copy exactly such as a quote or reference that someone else has said. Taking notes is short - key words, pictures, symbols, text language even. Taking notes is a personal preference - no two people take notes exactly the same.

Key Idea - Short, sweet and to the point!

Choose one track or field event - find three YouTube clips that clearly model the correct technique, (remember what you have learnt about reliable websites).

DESCRIPTION

1   Introduction –      What the text is going to be about –      A short description of the subject –   Can include a definition	This description is going to teaching you about a good way to begin sprinting. It includes some tips and tricks and the correct stances. sprinting is mainly in school athletics and interschool sport. the definition of sprint is: run at full speed over a short distance. Sometimes if you do super duper well you will run a lot further than a short distance.
2   Body of the report -       Each paragraph begins with a topic sentence which previews the information in the rest of the paragraph -       Sentences after give more details -       Each paragraph should give information about one feature of the subject -       May include technical language	Sprinting is quite hard if you don't train for it and don't have an open mind. For more of a successful sprint here are a few tips I recommend using. Having the right type of shoes, or if you don't wear shoes making sure your feet are ready. Having the right clothing, not too long, not to hot. Training beforehand to build up more speed. I read about this guy that used a metaphor to pressure him to run faster. Do exercises to do with sprinting. There are many different websites to give tips on how to be a better sprinter.
3. Repeat the same steps as 2	Well in my personal opinion sprinting isn't just for in school, and competitions. older people sprint as well. By older I mean 20+ not 50+. Once people get the hang of it they start doing it for fun; in their own time. when people start sprinting say, weekly, they would get into a habit of it and be a lot healthier and faster. ( This isn't just for older people.) You can try at home as well!
4. Repeat the same steps as 2	LIke i mentioned before you need a positive mindset. this means that you don't say: i can't do this but saying: i will try my best. This helps so much. Just be happy for trying.
A concluding paragraph -    Can summarise the report	In conclusion Sprinting is very healthy and good for you. If you're like me and HATE sprints or long distance hopefully this helped you a little. It sure helped me! when you actually think about it sprints isn't that bad and you should just participate. JUST HAVE FUN!
