Synopsis
If you liked Building Dances, then you'll love Building More Dances! This new book uses the same hands-on approach to the mechanics and art of dance making as the first book. Plus, it provides even more tools to help teachers facilitate the dance-making process: more dance construction models, more suggestions to spark creativity, and more ideas for lesson plans! Like the earlier book, Building More Dances puts the teacher in the role of facilitator. It covers all the fundamentals so that even teachers with little or no dance background will feel comfortable teaching students how to build dances. Building More Dances expands on the information in Building Dances, introducing even more ways to build dances and facilitate student learning. The book contains 23 new dance construction models and 108 all-new Deal-a-Dance cards. The dance construction models are creative, often cross-curricular blueprints for putting movements together in ways that satisfy National Physical Education Standards as well as the National Dance Standards. And the Deal-a-Dance cards provide movement examples that students can take to the floor with them to try out on the spot. They're great hands-on tools that stimulate students' creativity and inventiveness in the dance-making process. Building More Dances helps ensure student success with new material that elaborates on the seven steps to building dances: - Choosing subject matter - Exploring and selecting movement - Coordinating music and movement - Exploring possibilities - Refining and memorizing dance making - Adding the finishing touches - Performing the dance Each of the dance construction models lists grade-appropriate variations to make the dances suitable for any school-age group. You can use the constructions as single lessons or develop them into entire units. Regardless of your field of expertise or the ages and ability levels of your students, this book can supply hours, days, or even weeks of material. The book also contains specific assessment suggestions and numerous ideas for presenting and performing student-created dances. Building More Dances also includes an action plan for aligning standards and curriculum. Not only does the book define and compare the National Dance Standards and National Physical Education Standards, but each of the dance construction models also provides concrete suggestions to help you ensure that your program supports these standards, as well as standards for applied learning, music, geography, social studies, and other subjects., If you liked Building Dances, then you'll love Building More Dances This new book uses the same hands-on approach to the mechanics and art of dance making as the first book.
