Content Standard



Fitness
Content Standard 3: Students will use fitness concepts to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.


a.    demonstrate the skills, knowledge and desire to monitor and adjust activity levels to meet personal fitness needs


b.    use the results of fitness assessments to guide changes in personal programs of physical activity


c.    design a personal health fitness program based on an accurately assessed fitness profile


d.    attain and maintain appropriate levels of cardiovascular and respiratory efficiency, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and body composition necessary for a healthy lifestyle

I will be focusing on Physical Education's Content Standard 3 this month which focuses on fitness. Some ways that digital imagery can be used would be to create a visual notebook with pictures describing the 5 components of physical fitness. Students could also create a concept map linking the different benefits to various types of exercise. I would love the idea of students creating blogs to be used as exercise journals in which they can comment on what each other is doing. I think that it is a good content standard to use because the skills learned through this standard are things that they will use for the rest of their life, and can be directly applied to whatever their interests are when dealing with fitness.
