Third Teaching Experience

In my third teaching experience I continued with my Gaga Ball lesson. This time I focused on defense aspect of Gaga Ball. For a warm-up I had the students work on the basic hitting cues that we went over in the last class. With a partner, I had the students simply hit the ball back and forth. Then I had the students play a game which I referred to as “monkey in the middle, Gaga ball style.” The student in the middle had to attempt to dodge the gaga ball when it was hit below their knees and catch the ball when it was hit above the knees. Overall, I felt like the lesson went much better than my last two but Mr. Yang did point out some bad habits that I am going to have to work on breaking. One problem with my presentation that I was not aware of is that I seem to clap my hands a lot when I get nervous. It is not a major thing but it is enough to distract the students when I am giving instruction and is something that I am going to have to attempt to break while moving on.
