6. The Standards: Dance Level II 2. Creative expression/performance. The student applies body sciences and fitness principles to dance. The student is expected to: (A) communicate using appropriate anatomical and dance terminology; (B) perform with proper skeletal alignment; (C) exhibit strength, flexibility, and endurance in dance training and performances; and (D) incorporate proper conditioning and injury prevention practices.

7. Unpacking the Standards 2. (A) communicate using anatomical terminology (musculature, bones, frames of reference) dance terminology (positions, movements, French language, various technique forms) ; (B) perform with proper skeletal alignment (spinal curvature, musculature, center of gravity); (C) exhibit strength, flexibility, and endurance in dance training and performances

9. The Launch Request for Proposal In conjunction with the American Dance Federation, Under Armor Performance Apparel Company is challenging students across the country to create living museums for Dance Awareness. The museum must answer the question, “How does human structure and function affect dance ability and athleticism?” Submissions should include video, pictures and portfolio entries that communicate the science involved in dance performance. Selected entries will be featured in Dance Fitness Magazine and awarded at the …

16. Let’s Practice! 1.Read your PBL Launch document and student expectations. 2.“Play” your yellow cards by placing them on your PBL calendar as the first, last, and closing activities. * The ‘celebration’ card will only be used if it occurs on a different day than the presentations.

17. Planning Anticipated Workshops 3. With your table team, decide how to best teach the standards provided using the red workshop cards. Write these cards on your calendar. Remember, all small group workshops should have simultaneous PBL project time. Play your red cards by placing them on your imaginary calendar. 2 (A) musculature, bones, frames of reference positions, movements, French language, various technique forms 2(B) (spinal curvature, musculature, center of gravity); 2(C) Strength, flexibility endurance

18. Planning Formative Assessments 4. Now consider your Assessments. You should assess students every two days, at minimum. Play those cards by placing them on your PBL calendar. 2 (A) musculature, bones, frames of reference positions, movements, French language, various technique forms 2(B) (spinal curvature, musculature, center of gravity); 2(C) Strength, flexibility endurance

19. Planning Formative Assessments 4. Now consider your Expert Workshops. These are used to teach concepts and skills that are not aligned to your content TEKS. Play those cards by placing them on your PBL calendar. 2 (A) musculature, bones, frames of reference positions, movements, French language, various technique forms 2(B) (spinal curvature, musculature, center of gravity); 2(C) Strength, flexibility endurance

20. Leaving Space for Emerging Workshops 6. Emerging workshops can now be placed 2 (A) musculature, bones, frames of reference positions, movements, French language, various technique forms 2(B) (spinal curvature, musculature, center of gravity); 2(C) Strength, flexibility endurance

21. Bell to Bell Instruction Now, evaluate your PBL calendar. a.Do you have activities that address every standard you need to address? b.Is there additional time left on any instructional day? c.Have you placed cards to introduce extended/homework assignments? d.Will students have every experience they need to successfully create their PBL product?
