ASSESSMENT RUBRIC

Objective: Dribble while walking in a zigzag pattern

Hockey Unit | Level 4

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to dribble while walking in a zigzag pattern.

IMPORTANCE
Dribbling while walking in a zigzag pattern is important because it is a more advanced form of dribbling. Dribbling in a zigzag pattern requires you to move your body and hockey stick in relation to the placement of the ball.

VOCABULARY
Zigzag: moving from right and left alternately.

When dribbling while walking in a zigzag pattern, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Set up four courses of zigzag cones. I will divide the class into four groups. Line up single file behind your group's marker cone. When I say, "GO!" the first person in line will walk to each cone in the zigzag pattern. The next person in line can go after the first person reaches the first cone. When you get to the end, pick up your ball and return to the end of your line.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Cars. In this game, you are cars driving down the zigzag highway. Your goal is to dribble while walking in a zigzag pattern without losing control of the Wiffle Ball.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into three teams.
• Before the game begins, line up single file behind your team’s lane with your hockey stick and ball.
• When I say, "GO!" the first person in line will drive while walking in a zigzag pattern through the lane.
• Once you have made it to the end of your lane, choose a different lane to drive back in.
• If you run into another car, you have crashed and must go to the mechanic shop (move the ball right to left, ten times while standing still on the sidelines).
• When I say, "Red Light!" all cars must stop and move their ball right to left while standing still.
• When I say, "Fender Bender!" every student must lie down on the ground.
• When I say, "Doughnuts!" every student must do three circles around the cone nearest to them.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Zigzag Races. Your goal is to dribble while walking in a zigzag pattern then shoot on goal.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, line up single file behind your team’s marker cone.
• When I say, "GO!" the first person in line will dribble in zigzag pattern and then shoot on goal.
• I will be the goalie.
• Once you have shot on goal, retrieve your ball and get back in line.  
• We will begin a new game once everyone has had a shot on goal.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • If students cannot dribble long distances, give them the option to pick up their ball and walk closer to the goal.
  • Consider having no goalie during the first rounds of the game.
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Fly Fishing. In this game, you are sailors trying to get your boat (hockey stick and Wiffle Ball) across the ocean. Your goal is to dribble while walking in a zigzag pattern to avoid being eaten (tagged) by the shark (tagger) or caught by a pirate (hit by a fuzzy ball).

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select one person to be the shark and one person to be the pirate.
• Before the game begins, sailors will line up shoulder-to-shoulder on the baseline with their boat.
• Sailors must choose a current (zigzag pattern) to stay in.
• When I say, "Anchors Away!" the sailors have to reach the end line without getting eaten by the shark or caught by a pirate.
• If you are eaten, caught or go out-of-bounds, you become a pirate.
• Pirates stand on the side of the field and cast their cannon balls out (throw fuzzy balls).
• If you make it to the end line without being eaten or caught, you are safe.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • If students get upset when tagged, consider giving sailors three lives or chances.
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • 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.
