P.E. Make-up Assignments

Mr. Tippetts

Students are given three “free” excused absences a quarter which they do not have to make up. Additional days missed from class due to excused absences may be made up by completing one of the following assignments. For example, you may go bowling twice, to make up two absences, but you may not use bowling for a third absence. This is to encourage students to try a variety of activities. Make-ups may be done only during the quarter in which the absences occurred. All make-up is due one week before the end of the quarter.

1. Write a brief report (5-6 sentences), per day absent, about a sport or physical activity such as basketball, football, soccer, etc. You must list your sources of information, such as books,

magazines, web sites, etc. You will include the title, title of the article, the author, and page

number. Reports copied directly from books, magazines, etc. will not be accepted.

2. Choose ten vocabulary words from a sport or physical activity, and define each one. Be certain to

use a book written about the sport, as a dictionary may not have the correct meanings for the

terms.

3. Read a magazine or newspaper article about a sport or person in sports, and write, a summary

about the article. Be certain to include the article with your paper. The summary should be at

least one paragraph (5-6 sentences.)

4. Watch a sporting event, such as a junior high school, high school, professional, or organized

league game, and provide the following information:

a. the type of sporting event, names of the teams, the time the game was played, who

won the game, and what the final score was.

b. a one-paragraph (5-6 sentence minimum) evaluation of the game.

c. parent/guardian signature, to verify that you attended the game.

5. Go bowling and bring back the scoresheet. Each game makes up for one absence. (maximum

two days of make-up.)

6. Go roller skating/blading, ice skating, work out at a health club, etc.. Write down the amount of

time you engaged in the activity. One hour makes up for one absence. Have a parent sign your

paper to verify your statement.

7. Jog/power walk for one mile (four laps around a high school track, 5 1/3 times around a jr. high

track. Record the time it took you to complete the distance, and have a parent/guardian sign your

sheet to verify your statement. One mile makes up for one absence.

8. Exercise at home for one hour. Write down the exercises you performed, and how many minutes

you performed each one. Have a parent/guardian sign your paper to verify your statement.
