What happens at the site? Life within and around the lake. Swimming, walking, sitting, watching 

Architecture- circle, rectangular steps, circular rocks, unique trees, moving fountain 

We incorporated the various movements and objects around and within the lake. We tried to represent these things throughout the performance.

    This lesson is valuable because we turned physical landmarks into movements, which is a kinesthetic type of learning that no students are used to, because assignments like this one are rare. Representing each landmark with our bodies tells a story, and tells more about each place than just meets the eye.

    This exercise involved taking an ordinary environment around campus and developing a deeper focusing of that structure. The students had to put their minds and bodies at work to resemble and represent their structures. The students had to collaborate, discuss, and contribute ideas to find and site and decide what actions they were going to take. This exercise unravels a subsurface meaning and shows more of an appreciation of structural commotion in a day-to-day environment.

Integrating Dance: Moving Outside the Box

Arts Integration: The Elements of Dance   (Video) After a lengthy discussion about the possible reasons why dance art is not considered an important subject in our culture, the students watched the video Arts Integration: the Elements of Dance (LINK ABOVE). The video emphasized the importance of using dance through the learning process of other subjects. The video introduces teacher Debra Kapp who explains in detail the different aspects of the process: Warm Up, Analysis and Reflection and Feedback. Based on the explanations given by the children it is evident that the process used by Kapp works. TAL students were then given a task: They were divided in groups, making sure they worked with students they had not worked with before. The groups had to brainstorm to come up with the idea they wanted to teach. Then the wrote the objective for that class. They agreed on the activities that would allow the students to learn the objective. They structur...
