Benchmark Two

You are participating in a skill based unit of Athletics. Athletics as a recreational activity includes the events of:

• Running (100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m)

• Jumping (Long, High and Triple Jump)

• Throwing (Shot put, Discus and Javelin)

1. As a requirement of this unit you need to come prepared to every lesson with your uniform and be an active participant in every lesson.

2. You will also be required to help a student who is having difficulty in the execution of ONE event. Using your iPad, record your partner's technique and observe it closely. Use the Pupil Task Card to provide feedback to your peer.

3. You need to propose some simple strategies or solutions to help this student improve their technique. 

4. Explain briefly, how your solution to this complex movement challenge might help. Eg: Using the tennis ball removes the concern of weight. It allows for refinement of grip and putting technique to develop. It could also enhance the chance of correct placement on the neck below the ear and jaw.

5. Please upload your strategy/solution to Google Classroom on the Benchmark ONE doc at the end of Benchmark THREE.
