Buddies 3
During the third buddy session (that I've done) we were working with our buddies on throwing balls. Please don't take that out of context. We all had tennis balls and were practising our throws in the grass field at Cambridge. What I found with our buddy is that she was having a hard time moving her foot while throwing and would instead put her foot out then throw. Near the end, I think she had a better grasp on what we were trying to have her do but she was very reluctant when we tried to assist her. She just wanted to play with the balls (there is no good way to say that). During the golf like part of the class, our buddy struggled with how much strength to put on the ball while throwing. We tried to help her understand she was throwing to hard and to soft and she eventually figured it out and she was rather proud. I think it was a very successful class.

Yay. What strategies did you use to scaffold her skills or understanding? How did you keep her from being frustrated? Could you relate to that feeling at all?
