YEAR 9 GCSE dance - CREATING CHOREOGRAPHY
- interesting observing lessons, allowing reflection of my own practice
- Different type of student, behavior good allowing teacher to teach and student to learn
- Students used to expectations and when working independently stayed focused and on task.
- Calm environment, obvious progress made.
YEAR 10 GCSE dance - SET STUDY
- students fully engaged and aware of why they were learning the set study
- Familiar warm up taught, reasons why given. Something I will be implementing in my practice. Helps to settle students And start the lesson
- LO clearly projected throughout lesson. I need to chase up my projector. A necessary resource for lessons. Both for LO and videos, powrrpoints. Helps smooth running of lesson
YEAR 8 CORE DANCE - The Car Man
- Use of simple workbooks
- Use of professional dance work to show video and give ideas
- Theory tasks to prepare for practical. Giving ideas to work from
- Questioning to imbed knowledge ready for independent learning.
Watched year 8, 7 and 11 AS dance.
Year 7 using a task card to learn their line dancing. Independent learning. Mixed ability mixed gender. Students lined up in girls and boys and given number and sent into groups.
I'm unsure if grouping this way works better than allowing students to choose their own. Knowledge of dynamics of group necessary.
First experience of AS dance. Interesting to see the way it's done. Looked at an exam paper to see questions students were using for their choreography.. Chatted to the students about how they are intending to use the questions., students fully aware of what they need to do,
More evidence of the importance of consistent expectations and time spent explaining and reinforcing..
