Final assessment!

1) Participation- this category includes all of the factors around your ability to participate and the quality of your participation of in-class activities. Some things to consider would include: attendance and punctuality, wearing gym strip (actual change of clothing from what you wear the rest of the day),  physical presence/activity level during games, intensity of participation, skill level in various games, and the motivation behind your selection of activities on choice days. Missing “sometimes” or having “no strip” more than once or twice should result in a failing mark here.

I believe that I participate in a all class activities, especially team sports! I have had a few excused absenses throughout the year. I haven't forgot my P.E. strip for this class this whole semester.

2) Social Responsibility and Contribution to the Class- this category includes all of the factors that led to your improving skills around working with peers to make everyone's experience more successful. Some things to consider would include: examples of leadership (organizing others, encouraging peers), examples of initiative (helping with equipment, helping with other classes WITHOUT being asked to), positive energy and social dynamic during activities, honesty during competition and on fitness scores, and connections with the community/volunteering. Needing reminders from a teacher to do the above items negates their impact… thus resulting in a failing grade here. If you need to be talked to, you didn’t do well.

I motivate and encourage my peers allowing me to have a leadership role in class. I have an active and energetic attitude when it comes to class activities and at the end of day i help put things away without being told so. while recording my fitness scores i am honest all the time because im only cheating myself if im not, also i like to see that change in my fitness over the whole semester.

3) Healthy Living - this category includes all aspects of your past, current, and future data and goals on your health and fitness. Some of the things to consider would include: your actual fitness scores and what they teach you, noteworthy changes in your fitness, some of the barriers/limitations you face in participating, dietary choices and extra curricular activity choices and their impact on overall health, injury prevention, management, and rehabilitation, and future plans/goals for overall health choices. This is the connecting piece between class and life… if you have no evidence of choices/activities outside of class you should be failing this section.

I maintain an athletic lifestyle which will help me with my future endeavors. previously i was on the school rugby team also followed by outside of school activities such as soccer and going the gym. Me and my family sustains a healthy lifestyle at home.

4) Digital Portfolio and Reflective skills: this category includes all aspects of your blog posts. Some of the things to consider would include: the total collection of digital evidence and number of posts, the quality of the selection of evidence as a demonstration of learning, the quality of the summaries/explanation of the evidence (with reflection of effort, new learning cited, research included, and future goals/plans set), the usefulness of comments on peers blog entries as a part of socially constructed learning and assessment, and your ability to synthesize your entries into a summative final post which provides evidence for your learning.

Throughout the semester i wasnt able to blog as much as i would have liked to due to my other academic courses interfering and taking up my spare time. However, I have been diligent and determined throughout the course and have given my all in every class. I took course to fit in some physical activities during the day corresponding with all my academic subjects.

According to these four pillars, i believe i have done quite well for myself in this course. I, from my opinion, believe i should get an A 88%. This course was about having fun, participating and trying your best to achieve your goals which i think i achieved. Also the broad selection of different games and activities to do in every class made it much easier to enjoy while working hard at the same time.

On Friday, we played lacrosse which i thought was absolutely a neat experience, since i havnt played lacrosse before. We started out to play as a class, which was alright. However, It was much more fun playing with girls only, where everyone was at the same level. I actually tried my best and by the end  of the block, i had gotten a full workout from all that running. overall, its a great team sport to play in class.
