Comments
This is a very effective way for the students to evaluate their own weightlifting technique. It will also reinforce coaching cues with video.
Cross-Curriculum Ideas
The use of the video camera and film review would go well with our multimedia class.
Follow-Up
The film review would be the initial follow up, but we could also perform the lesson again at a later date to track improvement.
