Lesson 1/4: Speedminton/Pickleball- Forearm/Backhand hit
Lesson Components
Leaning Target: I can execute the forearm and backhand hit.
This unit will allow the choice of playing speedminton or pickleball (same learning target to be achieved- personalized to student choice of meeting the learning target)
ES- a continuous volley with a partner using the correct form
MS- showing the form during stationary activities
PS- need more practice
LP- not participating
Standard 1-movement skills
Indicator 14- forearm/backhand hit using an implement
Character goal- I can give 5 feedbacks during class.
Set the Lesson
• Backhand thumb grip
Preparation:
◦ thumb is placed straight up and down on top left-hand bevel, back hand facing net, lunge with dominant leg.
• Forehand – basic (“V”) grip
◦ reach for shuttle with dominant hand and arm extended, palm facing net, lunge with dominant leg, follow through across body.
• Review (show a badminton game on the ipad)- we just finished a volleyball unit, so ask the students what they predict will be the same and what predict what will be different (compare/contrast). Emphasis on court movement, serving, scoring, etc.
Lesson Content
• forearm/backhand hits- getting comfortable with the grip on the racket and becoming comfortable hitting an object with the racket (hand-eye coordination)
• When do you use a forearm hit vs. a backhand hit?
• Modeling- teacher will use the ipad to show the students what the different hits look like- teacher will model and students will model
Student Practice
Activity 1: Practice
• Practice: Students will practice hitting (birdie or wiffleball) against the wall
• Practice: Students will practice with a partner (choice of birdie or wiffleball)
• Advanced students will progress to volleying continually
• middle students will practice stationary (Partner A tosses & partner B returns it- switch roles)
• progressing students will use a foam ball (bigger object) to practice eye-hand coordination
Activity 2: Application
Student choice- move to application of the skill (ES/MS students)/PS students will still practice stationary
Activity- 4 square with an implement
Rules:
1. Set up a 4 square court(s)
2. 1 student in each square (4, 3, 2, 1)
3. The student in square 4 is the server and a rotation occurs when a student misses the ball or a student hits the ball into their own square.
For example: If the student in square 3 misses the ball, they go to square 1, 1 goes to square 2, 2 goes to square 3 and 4 stays in 4.
Student Choice: Use a birdie with a speedmitton racket or a wiffle ball with a pickle ball racket.
Closure
• Students will use their plicker to mark their progress
• Students will demonstrate some of their skills
• Students will discuss their learning
• Students will share some of the feedbacks they gave their partner.
• Teacher will ask review questions and revisit the learning target
• When do you use a forearm hit? When do you use a backhand hit?
Cornerstones of WLMS Instruction
• Student discourse: Students critique each other with feedback on their form.
• feedback to students: make sure this is on-going as students will need a lot of feedback on day 1. Teacher gives all students feedback on their LT/HOS papers (teacher makes notes during class about students to remember feedback as well)
• student reflection: Students reflect on their LT/HOS papers at the end of class with their progress and set goals for the next class.
• personalization (plan for specific students): Students will have the choice of meeting the learning target with a pickleball racket and wiffleball or a speedminton racket and birdie.
Lesson 2/4: Speedminton/Pickleball- Serving
Lesson Components
Learning Target- I can execute the skill of serving.
ES- hitting targets (hula hoops) with their serves
MS- executing the skill of serving against the wall or stationary, getting the birdie over the net from the serving line
PS- need teacher assistance, need more practice
LP- does not participate
Character target- I can give 5 feedbacks during class.
Standard 1- movement skills
indicator 12- serving
Set the Lesson
• discuss why serving is so important
• relate it to volleyball serving (we just finished that unit)
Lesson Content
• Show examples of serving
• teacher model, ipad model, student model
Student Practice
Activity 1: Practice
• a. Students will practice an underhand serve into the wall. Students will practice at least 10 repetitions
* Opposite foot forward, racket back, contact in front of body
* Flick your wrist for the appropriate amount of power
• b. Students will be ‘serving’ into a wall, but might be hitting the birdie too hard because they cannot foresee it going over net. Students should be reminded about amount of force needed to serve the birdie.
• c. Students will pair up with a partner. Students will practice serving with a partner. Partner one will serve 5 times to a partner who will just catch the birdie and toss it back. Students will switch roles.
** If this is too easy, have students practice from the serving line and try to get the birdie into a target (hula hoop) on the other side of the net.
Activity 2: Badminton Golf
Badminton Golf- Students will be paired up in transition and will start at a cone (hole) on the course. Students will use an underhand serving motion to get the birdie to the hole, which is a hoola hoop in as few shots as possible. Holes will vary in length and angles to make some more challenging and others less challenging. Partner one will start with their first shot, followed by partner two. On the second shot whoever is further away from the hole will go first. The birdie must stay inside the hoop for the shot to count. Students will then record on their card how many shots they took to get the birdie into the hoop. Students will then find a hole that they have not filled out on their card yet to go to next. Students will continue moving around the course until it is time for the closure.
Closure
• Students will use their plicker to mark their progress
• Students will demonstrate some of their skills
• Students will discuss their learning
• Students will share some of the feedbacks they gave their partner.
• Teacher will ask review questions and revisit the learning target
• Why is it important that you master the skill of serving?
• What are the rules of serving
Cornerstones of WLMS Instruction
• Student discourse: Students critique each other with feedback on their form.
• feedback to students: make sure this is on-going as students will need a lot of feedback on day 1. Teacher gives all students feedback on their LT/HOS papers (teacher makes notes during class about students to remember feedback as well)
• student reflection: Students reflect on their LT/HOS papers at the end of class with their progress and set goals for the next class.
• personalization (plan for specific students): Students will have the choice of meeting the learning target with a pickleball racket and wiffleball or a speedminton racket and birdie.
Students can practice this task with a birdie or wiffleball. If a student needs more time with cues and practicing motion they can begin there.
Challenge – Students with an advanced skill set may try to challenge themselves by directionally serving toward the wall to a particular point.
• Students can continue working at the wall to become successful with technique before moving on.
• Students can volley back and forth under the birdie hits the ground or is out of play
Set up of “badminton golf”
Set up for serving into targets
Lesson 3/4: Speedminton/Pickleball- Game Play- rotation and rules

• Trajectory: Steep
• Target: Mid-Court SidelineTactical
• Use Deception
• Move Opponent • Always Go Home • Win the PointChoose a racquet type that will maximize your success.
Lesson Content
-
Doubles formation game play
- Doubles front-to-back formation. From a serve, players will hit the birdie back and fourth and play a game, in hopes of forming a rally.
- When a team hits the birdie out of bounds or the birdie drops on their court, it becomes the others team’s serve and they rotate servers.
- Teams can choose if they want to be in a front/back formation or a side/side formation. Players must call ‘Mine’ prior to hitting a shot. Play to 21 points. Rotate serves once a team loses the serve (aka, they don’t get a point)
Student Practice
- Students will use their plicker to mark their progress
- Students will demonstrate some of their skills
- Students will discuss their learning
- Students will share some of the feedbacks they gave their partner.
- Teacher will ask review questions and revisit the learning target
- What was the result when you used a smash vs a regular backhand hit.
- What are the pros/cons of each formation?
- Closure
- Which shot did you find to be most successful against each doubles formation?
- Which doubles formation do you prefer? Why?

Lesson 4/4: Speedminton/Pickleball- Game Play- shot selection
Lesson Components
Learning Target: I can select a shot that puts my opponent at a disadvantage.
ES- Continuously winning games
MS- Earning points by placing the birdie/ball in a good position.
PS- struggling with shot selection
Character goal- I can provide 5 feedbacks during the class.
Standard 2- Strategies and concepts
Indicator 8- Shot Selection
Set the Lesson
- Discuss how this was achieved during volleyball and compare/contrast the two (selecting a shot to put the opponent at a disadvantage)
- Why is shot selection so important?
- What can you do as a defensive player to prevent being at a disadvantage?
Lesson Content
- Offensive players select shots that will put their defensive players at a disadvantage
- Defensive players will react in a way that prevents the offense from receiving a point
- Discuss strategies with the kids
Student Practice
- 2 players are on each side of the court and work together as a team.
The object is to score a point by returning the ball/shuttle in a way and to a spot that disadvantages their opponent.
Once a player receives and returns the birdie (or ball), the front player moves to the back and becomes the new server, and the back player rotates to the front (only when they other team loses their serve)
Personalization: speedminton or pickball
Teach the following concepts:
Student recognizes where the opponent is and recognizes their options of where to return the ball/shuttle.
The student responds by moving to a position that puts them in the best possible spot to receive the ball/shuttle.
The student reacts when the return shot is made by moving and intercepting the ball/shuttle and returning it in a way that disadvantages the opponent.
Closure
- a) Explain the ready position. How does this allow you to execute effective returns to your partner?b) What factors determined where you placed the shot?
c) Apply the 4 R’s (Read, React, Respond, Recover) to one of the games played today.
Cornerstones of WLMS Instruction
- -Feedback is ongoing during class by both the students (with each other) and the teacher. The students reflect and set a goal on their HOS/LT trackers at the end of class and the teacher also writes feedback on these papers.
- Personalization for this lesson is allowing the choice of badminton or pickleball for the students to meet the learning target.
