Grade 6 Dance Curriculum Package Preview

*what’s included: 

• Timeline: A program timeline that breaks down the duration of the lessons, how we recommend to structure your lessons, including a warm up and cool down in your lesson plans, and how we have structured the program. 
• Expectations: A detailed copy of all of the Ontario Arts Curriculum expectations that will be covered throughout the program. If your class is in a different province, territory or the United States, the curriculum expectations will still be very similar to Ontario’s, but please cross-reference your curriculum’s expectations to ensure your students are fulfilling all the requirements. Each expectation will either be the main focus of an activity or be incorporated into an activity
• Teacher Resource: We have done extensive research to provide you (the teacher) a brief history of the historical dance that your students will be learning. This history is important to cover, in order for students to learn where the dance originates, how it became popular, and how it has deep roots in certain cultures or people. With this teacher resource, we also provide you with video examples of the dance, or videos that dive deeper into the history, our spotify playlist link, and discussion questions. 
• Rubrics: We have curated 2 rubrics to help you grade your students throughout the program. The Program Rubric includes categories such as; Participation, Collaboration, Communication of Concepts, Reflection and Application of Skills. Our Final Performance Rubric includes categories such as; Body, Space, Time, Energy, Relationship, Performance, Cultural Connection, Collaboration, and Application of Skills.
