Orienteering Lesson Lab D

On Wednesday November 12th I taught another lesson on orienteering. For this class I chose to continue with teaching them about maps and how to use them. I set up an event for them around our physical education building with about 20 controls. I then let them decide what groups they wanted to be in. The could choose easy, medium and hard. This actually went a little better than I thought. I thought that it was going to take more time than it did. However the part that did not go as well was that it was a little confusing and the students were not paying attention as much as I would have wanted. It was a little hectic to get things started and completed within 15 minutes but I did the best that I could. My timecoding sheet was also better this lesson than the last. When we were out in the halls and they were finding controls they worked well. however it was hard to give feedback because everyone was in different places. They did what they were suppose to and they didn't run at all which was surprising. I thought that there would have been more discipline problems then there were. Overall I was very pleased with the lesson and how it turned out. It was well worth the work and hours that were put into it and I would definitely do this lesson again.
