ASSESSMENT RUBRIC

Objective: Backhand serve over a net to a target

Badminton Unit | Level 27

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to backhand serve over a net to a target.

IMPORTANCE
Backhand serving over a net to a target is important because it is another way to serve and start the game. The backhand serve requires more wrist action, versus using the whole arm when underhand serving. The backhand serve is also used to serve and then go quickly back to a defensive position. 

VOCABULARY
Serve: hit the birdie to begin play.

When backhand serving over a net to a target, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Line up on the baseline with your birdie and your racket. When I say, “GO!” backhand serve your birdie aiming towards the midline. When everyone has served, retrieve your birdie and return to the baseline. 
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing SWAT Team III. In this game, the objective is to get all the birdies into the hula-hoops by backhand serving over a net to the runners. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select 4 – 5 students to be the swatters.
• I will select 1 – 2 students to be defenders (taggers).
• The rest of you will be the runners.
• When I say, "GO!" the swatters will backhand serve a birdie over the net.
• Runners must try and catch the birdie. If the birdie hits the ground, runners must toss it back over the net for a swatter to try again.
• After a runner has caught a birdie, he/she must try and drop it into one of the five hula-hoops.
• Defenders will be guarding the hula-hoops and cannot go past the boundary cones. If you get tagged by a defender, you must return the birdie and try again.
• We will begin a new game once all the birdies are in the hula-hoops. I will select new swatters each game.

TEACHING TIPS

• ELL Accommodation:
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections. 
• SpEd Accommodation:
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications. 
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection: 
  • When is the backhand serve used?
  • What was most difficult about the backhand serve?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Paddle Battle IV. In this game, the objective is to backhand serve over a net to a target to get all your birdies into every hula-hoop.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into six teams.
• Each team will get three birdies.
• Ro Sham Bo to decide who on your team will go first.
• When I say, "GO!" the first students in line will run to the net.
• When they reach the net, they must try to get their birdie into a hula-hoop by using a backhand serve.
• If the birdie does not go into the hula-hoop, retrieve it and head back to your team.
• The next student in line can go when he/she receives the racket.
• Continue until your team has one birdie in each hula-hoop.
• We will begin a new game once a team does not have any more birdies left.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Increase or decrease the number of teams based on class size.
• ELL Accommodation:
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections. 
• SpEd Accommodation:

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Zone Ball IV. In this game, the objective is to see how far you can backhand serve over a net to a target.    

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams – hitters and runners.
• Before the game begins, the hitters will line up on the baseline.
• The runners will line up on either side.
• When I say, "GO!" the hitters will backhand serve their birdie over the net, aiming for the farthest distance.
• When every hitter has hit their birdie, the runners will go out and collect the birdies and give them back to the hitters.
• After five hits, hitters and runners will switch places.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind runners they cannot enter the field until after every hitter has gone.
• ELL Accommodation:
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
