Read Aloud in PE

I've tried the read aloud on a few occassions. My latest attempt was with my PE/Basketball classes. The book , "Playing for Knight" , is about a basketball. One would think a basketball class would enjoy an excerpt about a basketball player. The generall consensus was lets go to the gym now.. I must say one student did come up to me during class and ask to borrow the book. So, I guess you could call it a success ....one student at a time.

I thought this read aloud was great and liked how you approached it with your class. Knight & Indiana Basketball go hand in hand. Thanks for the suggestion. Looking forward to using it in my Basketball classes!!

Yeah it is hard to get students that come to PE expecting to be involved in physical activity to be interested in sitting and listening. Maybe if you try to get them invilved in the raeding this may help some.
