Lesson Duration: 45 minutes
Week & Period: Week 3, Period 1
Topic: Exercises and Muscles
Sub-topic: Deltoid Muscles and Exercises
Learning Objectives
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
- Demonstrate deltoid exercises.
- Identify different parts of the deltoid muscle.
Previous Knowledge
Students already know about basic body parts.
Instructional Materials
Charts of human muscles, dumbbells (or improvised bottles), whistle.
Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Students do arm stretches. Teacher asks them to point to their shoulder muscles.
B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes
Content:
Teacher introduces the deltoid muscle, located at the shoulder, explaining its role in lifting and moving the arms.
- Three parts of the deltoid muscle:
- Anterior (front) deltoid: Helps lift the arm forward.
- Lateral (side) deltoid: Helps lift the arm to the side.
- Posterior (back) deltoid: Helps move the arm backward and stabilize the shoulder.
Teacher Demonstration / Practical Examples:
- Front Raises: Lift arms straight in front to shoulder height → works anterior deltoid.
- Side Raises: Lift arms sideways to shoulder height → works lateral deltoid.
- Bent-over (Rear) Raises: Bend forward at the waist, lift arms sideways → works posterior deltoid.
- Improvised Weights: Students can use water bottles or small sandbags to perform raises.
- Posture Check: Keep back straight, knees slightly bent, and avoid swinging the arms.
Learners’ Activities (Expanded):
- Follow the Teacher: Students mimic each deltoid exercise demonstrated.
- Pair Practice: Students work in pairs to observe each other’s form and give feedback on posture and movement.
- Repetition Practice: Students perform 10–15 repetitions of each exercise.
- Discussion: Students explain which part of the shoulder the exercise targets.
Assessment Checks (Formative):
- Ask: “Name the three parts of the deltoid muscle.”
- Ask: “Which exercise works the anterior deltoid?”
- Observe students performing exercises to ensure correct posture and technique.
Notes (Expanded & Detailed):
- Function: The deltoid muscle helps lift and move the arms.
- Parts:
- Anterior: Front → lifts arms forward.
- Lateral: Side → lifts arms sideways.
- Posterior: Back → lifts arms backward.
- Exercises:
- Front Raises: Anterior deltoid.
- Side Raises: Lateral deltoid.
- Bent-over Raises: Posterior deltoid.
- Practical Tip: Start with light weights, maintain proper posture, and do controlled movements.
Assignments:
- Draw and label the three parts of the deltoid muscle.
- Write 3 sentences describing what each deltoid exercise does.
- Practice the three deltoid raises at home using small weights and record how many repetitions you can do correctly.
C – Consolidation (Conclusion & Assessment)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Summary: Teacher recaps the deltoid muscle parts and related exercises.
Evaluation Method (Expanded):
Exit slip/quiz: Students write the three parts of the deltoid and one exercise for each. Teacher provides oral feedback.
Assignment (Expanded):
Students draw and label the deltoid muscle.
Follow-up Activity:
Students will demonstrate the exercises at home for practice.
Differentiation / Inclusive Strategies
Students with limited strength will use lighter or no weights. Advanced learners will demonstrate for the class.
