SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
B1. Movement Skills and Concepts
By the end of this course, students will:
B1.1 perform stability and locomotor skills in combination in a variety of physical activities while responding to external stimuli (e.g., maintain balance and keep core muscles tight while doing lunges with or without hand weights; maintain balance while moving during aerobic routines; run/wheel to complete an orienteering course while demonstrating awareness of objects on the trail; show awareness of the position of the bar when taking off and landing during a high jump) [PS, IS, CT]
Teacher prompt: “Work in a group of up to four to develop a creative dance. Choose a winter sport or environmental theme – like recycling, weather, or sustainable living – and base your dance on actions relevant to the theme. Show at least three different ways of moving, and include both movements and stationary poses. What locomotor skills, stability skills, and movement concepts might you use when creating your dance?”
Students: “Depending on our theme, we might consider using and combining different ways of moving, such as walking, running, hopping, crawling, wheeling, and jumping, and we might use dance movements such as step-hop, shuffle, and grapevine steps. Some stability skills that we could include are bending, twisting, stretching, and swinging. We would also use stability skills to control our bodies while moving from one position to another.” “We need to consider where our bodies move and how each body moves in relation to the others. For example, if we are working in a group of four, we need to decide which direction we are going to move in, what pattern – circle, zigzag, or square – we are going to form, and what parts of the body we are going to move.”

Teacher prompt: “For this wrestling activity, you will work with another person on the mat. Position yourself on your hands and knees. Try to hold yourself in position while the other person tries to move you off balance. What do you need to do to maintain your stability?”
Student: “To maintain my stability, I need to use core abdominal strength to hold a four-point stance while keeping my elbows slightly bent.”
