In analyzing student performance I am finding that there are several questions that were
never answered correctly. This will help me to know which concepts to spend more time
emphasizing, explaining and exploring as the unit progresses. The topics that were the most
uncommon to students were energy qualities and being able to list the basic Elements of Dance.
Even when given the BEST acronym, none of the dancers were able to list all 4 of the basic
elements of dance.
The end goal of this unit is not simply to be able to define the basic terms and concepts
that we will be using, though that will be a part of the requirement. In addition to being able to
verbally explain and list the Elements of Dance, the dancers will reflect this understanding in
their compositions. The pre and post assessment will help to demonstrate if the dancers can
verbally articulate the concepts that we are learning and the composition assignment will help me
to assess if the dancers were able to apply these new concepts to a choreographic phrase.
