Body
Learning Activity #1: Practice Routines
Students will be given the beginning chunk of the block to fix up their routines.
They need to be completed by 20 minutes prior to class ending so that we have
time to present each group.

Students must be on task and they must fill out their checklist so that I can use it
to grade during their presentation.

Learning Activity #2: Presentations (last 20 minutes of class)

Students will get into their groups and one at a time perform their routine for the
class.
The students watching will be responsible for ONE other group to peer evaluate
their performance.
I will be evaluating and checking off that they have all required components in
their routine.

Closure
Consolidation/Assessment of Learning: Students will complete a self assessment
(to be handed in that day or tomorrow) that allows them to ponder the key
questions of today’s class and reflect on the process of making their own routine.

Transition to Next Lesson: Tomorrow we will be doing more dance
