Name of Artifact: P.E. Lesson Plan
Date: July 21, 2016
Course: EDUC 240: Health and Physical Education for Elementary Teachers
Brief Description: For this assignment, we were to work in a group and look at a list of national
and state standards for P.E. and then choose one to plan a lesson around for a specific grade
level.
Rationale: To document my understanding of InTASC Standard number seven, I have decided to
include the P.E Lesson Plan because it shows that I am able to plan a thorough and engaging
lesson around specific standards/goals. I am able to clearly articulate the students' objectives, and
how I will be able to assess their success or failure of the lesson. I also learned how to
incorporate many different subject areas into one lesson, in this case history, culture, and P.E.
