Zumba

In this lesson of Zumba what I had to do is follow the instructions of dancers on videos put up on youtube. Every time a dance was put up on youtube it had to be followed and in the end turned out to be fun.

The level of effort i rate myself is a merit the reason for this is because in my participation I was great, being involved in probably the majority of Zumba dances that was chosen. Examples shown was whenever a dance was put for the class to dance i'd be ready to do it but for some dances it'd be very complicated and hard to keep up with the instructor. But anyway this is why i think i have gotten a merit in this activity.

Well being- Skill level+ Previous experiences-

Well being had a negative effect on my participation because i had never done Zumba before which made me uncomfortable especially doing it in front of my friends. Skill level had a positive effect on my participation because I did so well with the routine or dances that were given and followed instructions. An example was when the class made a decision choosing a dance and we all had to do, as always doing Zumba I followed the instructions and got feedback from friends that I was doing great.

Previous experiences had a negative effect on my participation because it was my first time doing Zumba.

In the future something I can do to increase my participation is just to be confident and let nothing get in the way. 

   

Badmington

In this game of Badmington the class was split up into groups of 2 where we challenged each other in a small tournament. The aim of the game was to try and get points by hitting the shuttlecock over the net landing on the ground. Fortunately my teammate and I came out as the underdogs of the tournament being undefeated.

Level of effort (merit)
why i rate myself a merit is because I felt like my performance was at this level. Demonstrating and being a team player. I started off on a low missing a lot of hits and along the way playing other teams my confedence level rose and I saw a couple of improvements, I was getting better. bouncing back from a low and ending of with a high was good. My teammate did exceptionally well getting many points and I supported him for that. Above all I never really thought i would enjoy it but I did.

3 factors
Equipment+ Fun and enjoyment+ Fitness+
Equipment had a positive effect on my participation because because I had everything i needed to play the game such as PE gear like clothing and sports footwear. I also used the badminton racket and net. Fun and enjoyment had a positive effect on my participation because I really enjoyed the game. it was shown while i was playing like the competition my friends and I had, the awesome spikes and the on going rallies. I never really thought it'd be this fun. Fitness had a positive effect on my participation because I was fit to play, I felt like I had a lot of energy and I managed to keep playing game after game without to getting too tired.

I think that my participation was great and don't really need to do anything to increase it in the future.
