What: I learned about the influence of dance on a subject and the fun I could have with it in my own classroom. I have learned that a dance period or time slot can be beneficial to a class. The Braindance stretch is a great way for kids to get there blood pumping and the wiggles out. Philosophically I thought about how I could change my class to actually dance or get up and move during a class period. I also like how that video was able to show the kids learning the same thing from dance as from a textbook. Kids need to be taken to a different place everyday I think I don't know how exactly that would happen, but a classroom can grow stagnant pretty quick.
So What: I would like to have a lesson that involves a lot of movement and is very creative. Field experience will be more interesting if you can move those kids around while teaching.
Now What: For me when I think of including dance or some fine art I think of making a checklist for every lesson. Knowing me I would forget or not think there is a way to include the arts. having a checklist for every lesson would help me to see if the lesson covers the standards adequately, is it fun, does it include a fine art. I would also need to think about how I can change a lesson plan to include elements of fine art in it.
