Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

1. Based on the estimates of performance in your reflective journal (as your effort to increase involvement in physical activity), self-assess how often you participate in a variety of physical activities. Use tally to assess. Refer to mathematics curriculum (B7.4.1.1) for additional information on frequency of occurrence and tallying
2. Interview your peers in groups on how often they engage in a variety of physical activities at home, school, community, etc.
3. Plan and practise individually and in groups a variety of physical activities (such as active transportation, group aerobics, active play, keepfit, etc.) at home, school, and community to enhance good health and active lifestyle.
Information generated would be used for goal setting and as intervention to increase regular participation in various forms of physical activity at school, home and community.
