Lab 7


1. Can a child in a wheelchair enter the front door and the back door? What modifications would you make?
It is possible for a wheelchair student to enter through the front door. This way allows any students to just pass through. By going through the back door you have to be in the air for a short period of time. I would tie two jump ropes together and do big loops to give more time for those trying to go through.
2. How would you apply goal setting to this lesson?
Each child should set their goals from a previous class. They can set a reachable goal for the amount of jumps in a row. This can apply to and of the different jumps learned in class. Can range from one footed jumps to partners adding their scores together. This will also work on the cognitive component of teaching.
3. Design a long rope jumping routine for a pair of students jumping at the same time.
Students can tie two jump ropes together and put two kids jumping at the same time. If there is enough time teach the kids a sing along song that goes with the jumping. Sesame street made on designed for elementary kids working on the alphabet.
5. Describe how you would go about organizing a rope jumping club for your elementary school.
I would probably have kids sign up that would like to participate. Jump ropes could be assigned to certain students to use during recess or after school to bring home. There can be a binder with different songs and activities if the kids are old enough to read and comprehend the activities. There could be posters set up with big pictures showing the activity.
6. Find out what stimulus variation is. Provide an example.
Stimulus variation has to do with the ability to keep the students attention for a period of time. This may mean that a teacher will have to move around. Move their arms to create physical gestures along with other non verbal ways of communication.

  1. Stimulus variation is about giving a variety of stimuli to keep someone's attention, like when we use bean bag activities, we often switch the activity to keep the attention of the students yet they are still practicing the same skill, e.g. balancing the bean bag.
