Literacy

I know I have talked about the use of a smart board to incorporate literacy into physical education, but since I still do not have one, I found an excellent way to use literacy in PE. I use "exit slips". An exit slip is a slip of paper that the students will respond to. I give my students a writing prompt and they answer on the slip of paper. An example of a prompt might be listing five rules to the game of badminton. The students would write on the "exit slip" the five rules to badminton, then had the slip to me on their way out the door. This strategy is a great assessment as well. I can assess the students content knowledge and skills as well as my teaching. This also incorporates literacy into physical education lessons.
