Positively Active - Outcome C (7-9)-1

As a way of debriefing at the end of class, have the students gather in a formation where they can hear and talk to each other. Using a skill learned in class as a starting point for a discussion, students will make one positive comment about the activity, about themselves, or about another person in the class. The comment should be specific to the activities related to the game they have been learning.

For example, after practicing bounce passes, the students gather in a circle with one basketball. The student with the basketball says, "I really like how Jenny made sure I was passed to before she tried to score". This student then bounce-passes the ball to Jenny who makes a positive comment about another student, such as, "I liked how Bob said 'nice shot' when I made a basket". She then bounce passes to Bob.

Students do not need to focus only on comments related to skill. They can repeat one respectful comment they heard in class, or one contribution that a classmate made to positive behaviour.

These are clues that you have reached the outcomes ...

Students make respectful comments about their peers.
