Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Collaborative learning
Pair/Group work: Chest pass simulation : Put learners in a mixed-ability group of five and assist them to simulate the chest passing action without the ball. Carefully check and correct finger directions and arm actions. Chest passing drill: Form pairs, with learners in each pair facing each other. Guide learners to hold the ball with both hands in front of the chest with elbows close to the body and fingers evenly spread around the ball and thumb behind the ball in a 'W' shape. Learners stand with feet shoulder-width apart and take a step forward in the direction of their partners or teammates by extending the arms to push the ball from their chest with both arms to the chest of their partners. Ask the partners to catch the ball and pass them back to their partners in the same manner

Assessment (1.1.4.AS.4): Level 2: Explain how the chest pass is executed. Level 3: Demonstrate how the chest pass is executed.
