Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Warm-Up	10	Start with dynamic stretches (arm circles, leg swings) and a light jog around the gym. Introduce basic basketball movements such as dribbling in place.
2	Introduction to Basketball	5	Briefly explain the game, its objectives, and the importance of teamwork. Show basic skills: dribble, pass, and shoot to engage students.
3	Dribbling Practice	10	Set up cones in a zigzag pattern for students to dribble through. Pair students (one dribbling, one observing) to promote feedback and cooperation.
4	Passing Drills	10	In small groups, practice chest passes and bounce passes with each other. Use cones to mark distances, encouraging students to adjust their passes accordingly.
5	Shooting Practice	10	Introduce basic shooting techniques. Set up two shooting zones with cones. Students take turns shooting while others rebound the ball. Focus on accuracy and form.
6	Mini Basketball Game	5	Divide students into two teams and play a short mini-game with adjusted rules to focus on using dribbling, passing, and shooting. Facilitate teamwork.
7	Cool Down	5	End the lesson with static stretches focusing on arms, legs, and back. Gather students for a brief cool-down discussion about what they learned.

Assessment and Homework

• During the lesson, observe students to ensure they are applying the skills practiced. No formal presentation is required for the homework.
• Assign students to practice dribbling and passing at home or during recess. Ask them to keep a log of their practice sessions to discuss in the next class.

Curriculum Alignment

Ensure that the lesson meets the expectations set out in the Canadian Physical Education curriculum, focusing on skill development and the promotion of physical activity.
