1: rap sheet

teacher's notes

  1. The main aim of this rap sheet is to help the teacher get to know students at the start of semester.
  2. Like the rest, this worksheet is meant to be a fun activity. Consequently, some of the activities (such as personality type & totem) don't have any great cosmic significance.
  3. It is worth sorting out with students early on is whether trips that run beyond the normal school day (e.g. overnight, week-end or late-returning trips) will affect their job or sporting commitments. (You may need to write a letter to employers, etc.)
  4. It may also be worth talking to students about the fitness demands of particular planned activities, & the desirability of personal fitness programs. (See worksheet 4: personal health & fitness.)
  5. Take note of students' fears. Often their fears will be unrealistic, or based on a misunderstanding about the nature of an activity. But they could also be indicative of a phobia.
  6. It might be interesting at the end of the course to revisit stated goals & fears, & ascertain the extent to which they were realised (& whether there were any unexpected outcomes).
