The unit will begin by having the students learn the basic rules of basketball, and the benefits of participating in sports such as basketball. These rules will be taught while the students are participating in various activities. This will serve as a foundation and as a reason why many of the drills are being practiced. I will then review with the students the basic fundamentals of dribbling, shooting, passing, and setting screens. This will be done through some activities described later in the unit plan. Once the review has occurred, we will continue as shown below.
Dribbling:
Students begin by simply dribbling the ball to the end of the court and back.
Next, students will dribble the ball down the court crossing over between their left and right hand at each major line painted on the court.
Finally, students will attempt to dribble two balls at one time to the end of the court and back.
Students must show the ability to perform the first task before moving on to the next, and so on.
Shooting:
Students will begin by attempting lay ups and other shots within five feet from the basket.
Next, students will attempt shots from within ten feet from the basket.
Finally, students will attempt shots from within 15 feet of the basket.
Students must make at least 50 percent of their attempted shots before moving on to the next level. If student completes the standard from within 15 feet, they may attempt from beyond the three-point line.

Authentic Assessment
Students will participate in an actual five on five basketball game. I will divide up the students to make three evenly skilled teams of eight. While two teams are playing the actual game, the third team will be divided up to make; three officials, two head coaches, two assistant coaches, and one score keeper. When the game is finished, the groups will rotate. The team that was not playing will now be playing, and one of the teams that was playing will now be doing the other activities mentioned. This will continue until each group has done the following twice: been the home team, been the away team, participated in the other activities mentioned. The team not playing the actual game will rotate positions so that everybody gets a chance to do everything.
Scoring Rubric for evaluation
5 Excellent: Students will excel in all playing aspects of the game, and aspects outside of playing the game. When coaching, the student will give constructive criticism, and demonstrate a good knowledge for the game of basketball. When an official, the student will make good, nonbiased calls.
4 Good: Students will perform above average when playing. The students will also do a good job of involving teammates. When coaching and being an official, the students demonstrates a better than average knowledge of basketball, which means; good play calling, and good "official" judgement.

Safety Plan
In this unit, as well as others, there will be times when there is potential for students to be injured. Flying basketballs, swinging arms, landing on the floor the wrong way after jumping, and colliding into another player are just some of the possible ways a student may be injured.
In order to prevent as many of these injuries as possible, students will be reminded to always play under control. By this I mean, never letting one's body get going too fast that being able to stop might pose a problem. Students will also be reminded to look at their teammate before passing them the ball. This will increase the chance of no one getting hit with a ball, and also decrease the number of turnovers. Injuries such as: accidentally getting hit with an elbow or landing wrong after jumping causing an ankle or knee to sprain are injuries which are truly inevitable.
Class rules:
1. When putting balls away, place them on the rack. Do not throw them hoping the balls will magically land on it.
2. Arguing during a game or other activity will not be tolerated. Students at this age should be able to work things out peacefully.
