In your exercise book, explain how you would use the D.E.P.E method to teak a skill from a sport of your choice.

The D.E.P.E method stands for Describe, Explain, Practice, and Evaluate. It's a method used to teach and learn new skills, especially in sports. Here's how you would use it to teach a skill from basketball, for example, shooting a free throw:

1. Describe: The first step is to describe the skill. You would explain what a free throw is, where it is performed from (the free-throw line), and what the objective is (to score a point by getting the ball through the hoop).

2. Explain: Next, you would explain how to perform the skill. This might include the stance (feet shoulder-width apart, dominant foot slightly forward), the grip on the ball (spread fingers, ball resting on fingertips), the aim (aim for the back of the rim), the motion (bend knees, extend arm and wrist), and the follow-through (fingers should be pointed at the target, wrist should be 'broken').

3. Practice: Now, the learner would practice the skill. They would take multiple free throws, trying to apply the technique you've explained. You might provide some drills or exercises to help them practice, such as shooting a certain number of free throws in a row or practicing the motion without the ball.

4. Evaluate: Finally, you would evaluate the learner's performance. You might look at how often they score, their form, their consistency, etc. Based on this evaluation, you would provide feedback and further instruction to help them improve.

This method can be applied to any sport and any skill within that sport. The key is to break the skill down into its components, explain and demonstrate those components, provide opportunities for practice, and then provide feedback and further instruction based on evaluation of the practice.
