The tw cgnitive areas that the students will be tested n will be a cmprehensive written exam and a typed paper. Having bth an exam and a paper will give students wh d nt take tests well a chance t use writing skills t imprve their grades. This will als expse the students t the knwledge f the game f sccer and nt just the skills f the game. The verall grading scale f the cgnitive dmain f learning will be 33% f the final grade. Affective After a 20-day unit n sccer, the students will develp their scial skill, and I want them t be able t relate t ne anther. These kinds f skills will be develped thrugh gamelike situatins and wrking with partners. Other qualities that will be develped are sprtsmanship, teamwrk, and psitive attitudes. I will keep a daily checklist fr each student with the categries f attitude, participatin, and if they dress fr class r nt. The gal f this unit is t fcus n the attitude f each student while playing the game f sccer. Respecting ther students and the teacher will be mre imprtant than winning during the cmpetitin in class. The verall grading scale f the affective dmain f learning will be 33% f the final grade.

TASK ANALYSIS Sccer Unit Histry Written paper dne by each student Rules, Strategy, and Frmatins See Handut Dribbling/Ft Skills Keep the ball clse t yur bdy Take a tuch n the ball with every step Knees Bent Head Up On the balls f yur feet Drills: Obstacle Curse Cmpetitin This is a curse using cnes that the students will have t dribble thrugh in a certain amunt f time, and culd be used as a cmpetitin between students. 1 vs. 1 Dribbling There will be a grid r a cuple f grids set up with many different gals made by cnes in the middle f it. The students will have a partner and ne ball. They will play ne vs. ne trying t dribble thrugh as many cnes as pssible in a certain amunt f time while all the ther grups are ding the same thing. Then after a certain amunt f time they will all switch partners and cntinue t imprve their dribbling abilities.
Crab Sccer Within a grid that is marked ff by cnes, all but 3-5 students will have a ball. The 3-5 students wh d nt have a ball will be in a crab psitin in the middle f the grid, and the idea is fr the crabs t kick the ther students balls ut f the grid while the students with the balls will have t try t get frm ne end f the grid t the ther. If the crabs kick a ball ut f the grid, the students whse ball was kicked ut then becmes a crab, and the game cntinues until 1 persn remains. Dribbling Within a Grid In this very basic activity, the students will dribble arund in a grid trying t avid running int anyne else. While they are dribbling, they will practice specific mves r ft skills t imprve their dribbling. Knckut Within a grid marked ff by cnes, everyne will have a ball, and everyne will be trying t prtect their ball frm being kncked ut f the grid. Each student will try t kick ther students balls ut f the grid while trying t prtect their wn ball. If a student is kncked ut, they must retrieve their ball and juggle it with their feet until the game is ver. The game is ver when there is ne remaining student left with their ball. Passing/Receiving Ankle lcked Fllw thrugh Turn ft t a 90 degree angle Knee bent Head Up Square yur bdy up t where yu are passing it Pass in frnt f the player yu are passing t Eye Cntact Dn t lean back Receive by giving in a little (nly fr 2 tuch passing) Use inside f the ft Drills: Pass Thrugh Cnes t Partner
There will be cnes set up acrss the field, and the students will stand acrss frm their partner. They will receive the pass with ne tuch, and then they will pass it thrugh the cnes, wrking n accuracy, back t their partner. They will then d it using nly ne tuch. 3 Persn Passing This will be set up by having 2 students with a ball, and the student withut the ball will be in the middle. The student in the middle will run t the first student wh will pass them the ball, and then they will pass it right back t that student and then g t the next student. They will g back and frth fr abut 1 minute, and then they will switch. It can als be used fr ne tuch passing. 6 vs. 6 Thrugh the Cnes There will be tw teams f 6 per team. They will be in a grid that is marked ff by cnes. There will als be gals in the grid, which will be marked ff by cnes, and they will be scattered thrughut the grid. The bjective is t keep pssessin f the ball by dribbling and passing t yur team until yu have an pprtunity t pass the ball thrugh ne f the gals t a player wh is n yur team. By passing it thrugh the gal t anther player n yur team, that team will receive ne pint. This gives the students an pprtunity t imprve their dribbling and passing skills, and it als creates sme gd cmpetitin. Spdnik Passing Drill There will be a zne where the students will make tw-tuch passes back and frth, and then after making a tw-tuch pass, they will run ut f the zne and make a ne-tuch pass t anther student with a ball waiting fr them.

The first team will run ut abut 15 yards and sht the ball ne tuch frm the student wh distributes the balls. The ther team will run arund three cnes and then try t blck the sht. Each team will sht fr the same amunt f time and whever has the mst gals wins the cmpetitin. Galie Wars Defending There will be ne student in each gal, and the gals will be abut 25 yards apart. The students will have t try t scre in the ppsing gal, and defend using their galkeeping skills their wn gal. Students will rtate in and ut f the gal, and we will keep track f pints t see which team wins. Zne defense J runs Supprt Cver Help defense Running at angles Tackling
Drills: 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 2 students will pass the ball back and frth while 2 students defend and run using the prper zne defending principles. The 2 students passing the ball will try t pass it by the 2 defenders t the ther side t the ther 2 attacking players. Then after abut 2 r 3 minutes all f the students switch psitins. 2 vs. 2 Have the students get with a partner and the students will play 2 vs. 2 in a marked ff grid.

Bgey s Blitz Divide the students int 2 teams. One team will stand at the pst, and the ther team will stand abut 30-40 yards ut in the field. The balls will be with the team wh is at the pst. There will be a galkeeper. The students at the pst, wh will be playing defense, will play a ball ut t the ther team and run ut with 2 players, and the ffensive team will als cme ut with 2 players. The ffensive team can pass the ball back and bring ut as many as 4 players, and if the ffensive team brings mre players int the field, the defensive team can cunter and bring ut as many as the ffensive teams brings. Bth teams play ffense and bth play defense, and whichever team has mre gals wins the game. The amunt f pints awarded fr each gal is based n hw many players are n the field. This will allw the defensive team t wrk tgether n the zne defending principles. 1 vs. 1 t the Endline The students will be in tw lines. One defensive line and ne ffensive line. The defensive line will pass the ball t the ffensive line and they will begin. They will play t stp the ball n the endline.
