Great point from Andy to finish about the importance of *time* for teachers to access and engage with professional learning, for preparation and to work together.

Hi Adam, how do you make slides like these? Are they hand written by you?

To close I asked pupils that observed the pairs to give one piece of feedback to the group. Based on what they wrote on the worksheet above.

They focussed on communication as they felt it was lacking and this will form where we will go next lesson.

After a good 30 minutes of learning it was time to pack up and review.

I asked the pupils to describe to their partner the front and back. I took some responses and held a discussion.

The pupils who were off court for no more than 5 minutes then used this worksheet and completed one row.

They were tasked with identifying whether or not their chosen pair was using the front and back tactic.

They also gave them feedback.

I spent time providing feedback, posing questions and observing performance.

I also explained and demonstrated how to communicate effectively.

Once this was set up I explained and then demonstrated the front and back tactic and gave them two strategies on how to set it up:

1. The server always covers the front
2. The stringers overhead shot player always covered the back

I then introduced a fixture list and because I had an extra team I set a worksheet task for the team off so that they could provide feedback to their peers.

As the pupils entered they began cooperative rallies.

I then rotated them so that worked with different partners and once I was happy their final opponent was to be their doubles partner.

My favourite lesson this week was with a third clear class and in recent weeks we have looked at the rules of serving and service rotation in doubles badminton.

This week we began learning about the front and back tactic in doubles badminton.
