Unit 7: Archery
Duration of Days: 8
The 11 Steps to Archery Success: Students will understand the sequential technical steps (Stance, Nock, Draw, etc.) required for a consistent shot.
Safety Parameters: Knowledge of whistle commands and "Visible Systems" for the range, including the "off & away" policy for distractions.
Executive Function in Sport: How Inhibitory Control—specifically resisting the impulse to release early—directly affects accuracy
Task Initiation: Demonstrate the ability to independently set up their equipment and station according to the established "Visible Systems".
Self-Monitoring: Use Error Analysis after each end (set of arrows) to determine if their grouping is consistent and adjust their anchor point or aim accordingly.
Emotional Regulation: Practice "Managing emotions to stay focused" after a missed shot or a equipment malfunction.
Peer Feedback: Participate in Conferencing where they observe a partner’s form and provide specific cues for improvement.
Formative Assessment: Successful demonstration of whistle command responses and range entry/exit protocols.
Productive Struggle: Students shoot at different distances, identifying how Working Memory helps them recall adjustments.
Authentic Challenge: A class tournament where students apply all skills while self-monitoring their score and emotional state.
