You will then guide other groups through the game you have designed and be assessed by your classroom teacher on the basis of the criteria as seen below.

You will be assessed on your ability to:1. Effectively design a modified game that focuses on swimming and diving/submerging. A hard copy of your game plan

and rules are to be submitted to class teacher on day of practical assessment2. Demonstrate and refine movement skills relevant to aquatic environments3. Work collaboratively with others

Self-Reflection (4 marks)

Year 8 Student Self Evaluation – Task 3 Aqua Fun

Complete the self-reflection sheet below, outlining your performance during the Aqua Fun unit.

Your name:

Level Demonstrated (tick) Very Good Good Ok Poor Not demonstrated

Grade yourself according to the following: (please tick)

1) Design and creativity of a modified game

2) Swimming skills

3) Ability to dive and submerge

4) Communicate ideas to other group members

5) Participation/Involvement

Comment: In the space below, recall and evaluate your practical performance during this unit.

Design of a modified game- e.g. How does your game demonstrate creativity? How is it relevant to swimming and diving/submerging? Is the game realistic and achievable? Why will it be enjoyed by others?

Movement skills relevant to aquatic environments - e.g. How effectively can you perform freestyle/breaststroke/backstroke, dive, swim, underwater? Have you worked at your personal best when participating in a variety of modified games? What strengths did you exhibit? In what ways have these games challenged you?

Work collaboratively – e.g. In what ways did you contribute to the design of your game? How did you communicate with other group members? How did manage differing opinions/ideas?

I believe that in this unit of work I did well as I completed my Aqua Fun task in time and I have enjoyed

swimming. In my group for the game making task I was with Izzy and Stephanie, and together we worked

very well as Stephanie came up with the base idea and Izzy and I elaborated on it. In the lesson where we

had to teach our game to each other, we all worked together to explain it to the other groups. Our game is

creative as we put a twist on your classic under water tip. It is relevant to swimming as you have to swim

above and below water to try and not get tipped. The game is realistic as we played it once in class and it

worked successfully. It will be enjoyed by others as you have to try and not get tipped by the person in.

Swimming has always been a strong sport of mine, so I can swim well and I am a strong swimmer. While

swimming we didn’t really do a lot of actual swimming but when we did I tried my best but didn’t get my

personal best but I did have fun. I exhibited my swimming skills when preparing the beginning of the class.
