Scripts
1. This lesson plan was designed in accordance with the PDHPE K-10 syllabus, keeping stage 5 (year
9) under focus. The classroom has a variety of students ranging across a diverse inter cultural
demographic. Moreover, these students are also identified as having different learning styles. While
most of them have English as their first language, some of them ale belong to the EAL/D category.
Besides, their learning styles also differ based upon their personal preferences and choices. While
some of them may be good audio – visual learners, some might learn better with texts. This is why
this lesson plan is developed to include all possible learning styles.
2. Apart from the learning styles, another aspect that was taken into account was the cross cultural
identity. It is important to understand that in a classroom, there would be variety of students
belonging to a variety of cultures and communities and their attitudes and behaviour would also vary
based on certain social parameters. Therefore it is important to develop the lesson plan in a manner
that is deemed fit for all the students in a classroom in order to promote inclusivity and cross cultural
understanding.
