Badminton!!! Hooray!!! In P.E., we are beginning our badminton unit. We started by taking notes on badminton. We learned about the history of the game. We learned about the equipment and the court, and the basic rules. Then we took notes on how to score points and badminton lingo and what the words mean. the next thing I knew we were outside and Mr. Walsh was teaching us how to serve. To serve, you must hold the birdie by the feathers and both the bird and the racquet below the waist. Then you drop the bird and hit it with the racquet and follow through to your shoulder.
