By the end of this course, students will:
B3.1 identify physical, intellectual, and artistic skills that are developed through dance, and explain how they can be applied to a wide range of careers (e.g., identify occupations that require the type of discipline and patience needed to participate in ballet class)
Teacher prompt: “What skills or personal qualities are developed through studying classical East Indian dance? What careers require similar skills or qualities?”
B3.2 explain why it is important to support dance arts in their community (e.g., explain how a local dance organization contributes to community life, and identify supports it needs to continue or extend its activities)
Teacher prompt: “What would you include in a detailed plan to help meet the needs of a com- munity dance organization? How would you implement that plan within the organization?”
B3.3 develop and maintain a traditional or digital dance portfolio to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways (e.g., gather and organize materials and records that reflect their evolution as dance creators and performers)
Teacher prompt: “How could you use the materials selected for your portfolio to create a ‘narrative’ about your learning in dance throughout the year? What story will your portfolio tell?”
