Learning Objects

I have created three learning objects to help students understand the sport of soccer.

Soccer Rules quiz: http://qz4.me/HnPADH

I created this quiz as a simple assessment of student's knowledge on the basic rules of the game. It can really be taken at any point in the unit because of its difficulty and length. It is very easy for me to grade.

History of soccer timeline: <iframe height='390' width='928' marginwidth='0' marginheight='0'scrolling='no' frameborder='0' src='http://www.xtimeline.com/timeline/yesterday-and-today-soccer/embed/928/390'></iframe>


This timeline is a short history of the evolution of the sport. It gives a brief summary of how soccer came to be what we know it as today. The timeline format is relatively easy to navigate and longer descriptions of events are available.


Diagram of soccer formation: http://www.dabbleboard.com/draw?b=Guest1070481&i=3&c=fa30ee50458c245b917606bd6d8e794f644e109f

This final learning object is a diagram of a standard soccer field and team formation. It shows where both teams' defense, midfield, and offence is located in proportion to the other team and the field. I will use this in class around the time that we will start looking at actually playing the game with regulation rules and teams.

Graphic Organizer - weight management

Health MME (2007)

Strand 1: Nutrition and Physical Activity

1.1 Distinguish between unhealthy and healthy ways to manage weight.

The objective of this graphic organizer is to demonstrate the difference between ways to manage weight. I compared them side by side to show the fact that they are complete opposites. I would use it to display the black and white differences between good and bad choices made when people are trying to lose weight.

I used a T-Chart creator from this website: http://www.worksheetworks.com/miscellanea/graphic-organizers/tchart.html. It was a complicated process because the T-Chart could only be saved in PDF format. It was designed to be printed out and filled out, so putting the chart in this blog involved copying and pasting the chart to a Microsoft Word document using the program Jing. It would be very easy to use if I was printing it out or handing it out to my students, but an online version was more complicated than I would have wanted.
