ASSESSMENT RUBRIC

Objective: Dribble while jogging

Basketball Unit | Level 15

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to dribble while jogging.

IMPORTANCE
Dribbling while jogging is important because it helps you dribble the ball down the court at any speed as well as get open for a shot on the basket.

VOCABULARY
Dribble: to bounce an object continuously without stop or pause.

When dribbling while jogging, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Line up on the baseline shoulder-to-shoulder with your ball between your feet. When I say, “GO!” jog to the midline and back, while dribbling your ball. When you have come back to the baseline put your ball between your feet so I know that you are ready.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Eiffel Tower II. Your goal is to dribble while jogging to collect the necessary supplies and build an Eiffel Tower at the end of the court.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams.
• Before the game begins, you must line up single file with your ball behind your team’s dot.
• When I say, “GO!” dribble to each hula-hoop and pick up a tall and short cone.
• When you reach the last hula-hoop, construct your tower by putting the short cone on top of the tall cone, while continuing to dribble.
• As soon as a teammate reaches the last hula-hoop, the next teammate may go.
• We will begin a new game once everyone has constructed an Eiffel Tower.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach
  • To increase participation and limit wait time, put the hula-hoops closer together.
  • Remind students they should be dribbling at all times.
• ELL Accommodations
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
  • Model skills in a small group.
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
• Reflection
  • What is one important thing to do when you dribble while you jog?
  • What did you work hardest on today?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Dribble Tag. Your goal is to get into the center circle by dribbling while jogging to avoid the tagger. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select one student to begin as the tagger.
• Before the game begins, stand with one foot on the boundary line with your ball. The tagger will begin in the center circle.
• When I say, “GO!” the countdown will begin from 20 and the tagger must leave the circle.
• Begin dribbling while jogging to get past the tagger and into the center circle before the countdown reaches “zero”.
• Students not in the center circle by the time the countdown ends become stationary taggers for the next game. Stationary taggers cannot move from their position but can try to knock the ball out of a dribblers hands.
• The first student tagged will become the tagger the next game, unless he/she has already been the tagger.
