LESSON PLANS

 

Cristina Padron 

Lesson Plan for DAN 385 

Age Level: Kindergarten 

Component: Movement Skills and Underlying Principles 

Objectives: Explores non-locomotor skills: bending, stretching, twisting, arching, turning, falling 

Competency: The student can solve locomotor and non- locomotor movement problems (walk slowly, run quickly, stop) by creating a short thematic interpretation that will demonstrate these movements.  

 

I will achieve this component, objective and competency by reading the story Maybe you should fly a jet, Maybe you should be a vet to introduce the theme of careers to my Kindergarten class. After reading the story, I will review it to make sure the children are understanding the concept. Lastly, we will play a charades activity where students will use movements such as the ones described above to show what career they want to be when they grow up. If in the classroom, I would have props to help the students depict their career.

I believe that creative dancing is the most effective method of teaching dance because it allows students to express themselves in any way that they please. According to The University of British Columbia, “Creative Dance is a form of...

  John Dewey: America's philosopher of democracy and his importance to education   John Dewey on Music Education   In Dewey’s model, art isn’t a thing, it’s an experience (though a thing might be the catalyst for the experience.) The work of art isn’t so much the painting or string quartet as it is the experience of the painting or string quartet. That experience depends completely on the social context both of the work’s creation and of its audience. We shouldn’t ask, “what is art?” but rather “when is art?” Dewey saw art not as something existing separately from everyday life, but as existing on a continuum with mundane pleasures. The Stanford Encyclopedia: Dewey then argues that we must begin with the aesthetic “in the raw” in order to understand the aesthetic “refined.” To do this we must turn to the events and scenes that interest the man-in-the-street such as the sounds and sights of rushing fire-engines, the grace of a baseball player, and the satisf...
