• Explain the physical activity you participated in.

So what we did today was played wheelchair basketball which involved a lot of wheelchairs and basketballs, firstly we had to get used to bouncing the ball while sitting in the wheelchair . After that we learned how to pass the ball and bounced pass with the ball while sitting in the wheelchair. After all that we had a game and all we had to do was just try and score as many points as a team can.

• How could you increase your (or your peers) participation in this activity in the future?

I can increase this game in the future by asking the ones who did not participate, and ask them if they want to play, and if they refuse I will then ask them if they want to add in some of their rules and some of their equipment into the activity.
