ey are getting some activity outside of class.I couldn't have planned it better as far as watching two completely different teaching styles. Unfortunately for the kids in the one class these styles couldn't have been more inclusive and uninclusive and having blatant favorites to no favorites at all. Though not uncommon, I do believe these were both extremes on either end as far as what presence the teacher makes on their students. Luckily I was able to see (page # 3) the same grade 7 teacher organize one of the recess house leagues. Again he used some inclusive themes with trying to put everyone at the same playing level. He made the grade 8 boys use their opposite hand for throwing and anyone who pinched a little too close he made them back up and throw from a little further away. By incorporating both dodgeball and basketball at the same time, it was a way the kids could enjoy both and compete at a level that wasn't too demanding.In observation # 4, I shouldn't have been too surprised with the outcome. But I still was disappointed with how little the kids were involved with any kind of activities. And I was disappointed on how there was little to no known supervision for the kids, or any guidance there to help them use their imaginations or something? It is nice to know there is a house league, but that is only in the morning twice a week. If there is bad weather like this day what is a kid to do? I would hope I could incorporate some kind of game or activity that more than one class could get involved in and have fun with.With observations # 5 and 6 it was again what you can expect from those situations. The hockey game was more involving for the parents and coaches then it was for the players who really just seemed to be there for a good time, not an all important life event. As far as inclusion and favorites, it was evident on both sides that the coach wanted to win even if that meant snubbing a player or two. Especia...
