Description of Idea : 

Description of Idea Students will be given their dance class period to work together as a group (cooperative learning), and choreograph their own line dance. More or less time may be needed depending on the length of class and the experience level of the students. The music used for the dance should be played on repeat so the students choreograph and rehearse with the performance music and can make sure their choreography works well. Work outside of class may be needed, so make a phone tree within your group so you can easily get up with each other.

Criteria : 

Criteria Students will be given a list of criteria which must be included in their dance. They must… implement moves learned from previous dances taught in the unit, (such as a scuff, a grapevine, a hip bump, etc). have four transition steps so they face each wall throughout their dance. Add a unique movement or personal touch.

Dance Etiquette : 

Dance Etiquette During the performance phase of the lesson, students will be asked to be critical observers of the other groups. As polite audience members they are expected to applaud after each group performs.

Ask Yourself these Questions…. : 

Ask Yourself these Questions…. Which movements are utilized that were previously learned? What unique movement was added? Did the dance have a clear transition between facings?
