THEORETICAL CLASS. 

First of all, we corrected some things related to the interdisciplinary activities. For example, my groups have some corrections like the content because we tought that the content in the objectives and not the content is what you are going to teach. In my activity the content is Egypt. 

Moreover, the teacher assigned us a word related to the Lesson 2. Because among us we have to create a glossary about the lessons which we see. 

Furthermore, we were talking about the different motor patters. And we saw them through videos. These videos were about hop, throw and run. 

I think that if children didn´t learn these patterns they will have problems in sports. 

In the videos we had to answer some questions such as:

-Is the swing leg active?.

-Does it move rotary movement?

-Are there a step?

-Is the step bilateral or homolateral?

We saw children and teenagers. They were boys and girls.

For example, we saw a teenager who was hopping and we saw the movements of the arms, the legs and the back. We compared the movement of a child and a teenager.

Also, we say a teenager throwing a ball and he did a step in a opposite movement. So, the support leg was the opposite to the hand. This step used to maintain the equilibrium. 

Then, we did examples with some of us and we discovered that in order to create more energy you have to rotate the truck. So, you have to do a step with the same leg that the hand behind the body. 

A child throw a ball with a balance but not with rotation because he had not mature in the truck. 

Another child throw a ball doing a step but without rotation and he put the hand behind the head. 

Moreover, we saw the movements when someone runs. Run means that there is a little moment when the leg do not touch the floor. When this correct patter is acquire the swing leg flexes at least 90 degrees and the hand move in opposition to the legs. 

So, I think that the teacher has to do different activities in order to develop well the proper patterns in children:

-Arms.

-Legs.

-Truck

For that reason, children have to practice a lot.
