Comments

This is a refreshing read, I like that you have chosen hockey since we have seen a lot of basketball and football plans etc. I also thought it was great that you added the objectives as well as how you would grade each student. This goes beyond the plan of a hockey lesson and looks into teaching a course or class on hockey. I could easily apply this to a PE class and teaching floor hockey with the information you have given here. Thanks!

I use to love playing that in P.E. But we had a lot more players on the floor I'm sure we had somewhere around ten people on each team.
