Hockey Lesson plans/ Schemes of work for KS3

4 sets of hockey lesson plans/SOWs for years 7, 8 (x2) and 9. Each SOW has 6 or 7 comprehensive lesson plans. There is also a Hockey dribbling task card and an assessment poster included.

This SOW was created to save time for busy teachers and is made so teachers with little/no hockey experience can teach it just as well as those with lots. You should be able to teach a lesson with minimal preparation and I made these so in most cases they can be just picked up and taught.

There is an assesssment matrix included and all lessons have levelled outcomes. The levels are the old national curriculum levels 3-8 however they are easily editable and changeable to your own assessment levels.

Each lesson has diagrams, differentiation assessment levels, clear teaching points, links to videos that show the skill and afl opportunities. As well as clear explanations of the tasks. There are no timings included as each school can vary in terms of lesson time. They should provide enough tasks for lessons of 40 minutes and above.
