GASC Lesson: Badminton Serve

Students will be able to:
 * 1) Serve 2 types of serves: Long and Short
 * 2) Write the proper steps of both types of serves
 * 3) Work cooperatively with their peers during the activity

Students will work in groups of 4 on the following tasks:

Step 1: Global:
 * Students will have time to brainstorm and the freedom to express their thoughts and ideas on the variuos ways to serve in badminton with out the teacher interupting.

Step 2: Sequential:
 * Students will be given a packet of step by step instructions of how to execute the proper long and short serve.
 * Students will have the opportunity to learn the material and practice the steps in order to reach the correct serving approach.

Step 3: Concrete:
 * Students will watch a demonstration of the long and short serve. (Visual)
 * Students will be given a racket and a shuttlecock to use to practice the 2 types of serves during class time. (Tactual)

Step 4: Abstract:
 * Students will write down any thoughts, questions or ideas they have about the badminton serve.
 * Students will discuss the advantages and disadvantages to a short serve and a long serve in a game situation.

My lesson would be modified for my special populations group by:
 * 1) Use a tennis racket rather than a badminton racket to have a larger surface to hit the shuttlecock
 * 2) Use simpler terminology for the step by step instructions.
 * 3) Provide pictures along with the step by step instructions
 * 4) Provde a graphic organizer for students to compare and contrast the long and short serve.
