This unit supports the current campaign to promote fitness awareness, through both the final product and the process. As you progress through the unit, you and your students will encounter many opportunities to "get active". The unit's approach to fitness is broad enough to include less
traditional physical activities and exercises for the non-competitive student, as well as to provide more opportunities for those with a more competitive nature. In the course of the unit students participate in a variety of activities, e.g., reading fitness tests, viewing sports demonstrations,
listening to and solving sports riddles, conducting fitness tests with classmates, and participating in exercises to develop general physical fitness.
Final Task: Students work with a partner to create a physical fitness video for their chosen sport. In the video, students describe
their sport, e.g., equipment and characteristics, including some general health benefits. They discuss general skill requirements that reflect strength, flexibility, or endurance. Pairs then offer a short demonstration of these physical skill requirements, as well as some exercises to support
development of the skills.
The workbooks support the core activities, and provide opportunities for students to practise language. Also included are additional complementary activities and a comprehensive French-English Lexique for student reference. Also includes the Mini-guide section
reproduced in the back of the workbook.
