14. National Core Arts Standards (Anchors) to Meet & how lesson meets it/them:
Anchor Standards: 1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. 2. Organize
and develop artistic ideas and work. 3. Refine and complete artistic work. 5. Develop
and refine artistic techniques and work for presentation.
15. Cognitive Learning Objectives: Learn counts, value of time (seconds), and
multiplication (understand that by doing 2 beats per second in one 8 count you are
essentially clapping in double time, in other words, you are multiplying the original
beat by 2.)

17. Assessment/Demonstration of Learning Plan: While the students are creating the
dance tell them to incorporate shapes by using their bodies, and force by using
different movements. Assess this by observing how well they incorporate these terms
in their small dance pieces. At the end of the lesson ask students where they noticed
each element. "Where did you see differences in force between the two big group
dances?", "What shapes did you see the other group making with their bodies?" "How
was the timing and counts of the other group different from your groups?" Assess
counting and time by having children clap out beats for you in one full 8 count. Have
them clap out a one beat per second 8 count and a 2 beat per second 8 count.
18. Affective/Socio-Emotional Objectives: Feeling in tune with the art form of dance.
By engaging in small improvisational dance performances, this task aims to have
students use their emotions to guide their improvisations in their small dance
performances. Furthermore, in the reflection period, students will be able to draw
responses to the assignment. They will be asked to draw picture of how the improv.
dance tasks made them feel.
