Unit Intro
By now, you should have completed stage 1 of Jay McTigthe and Grant Wiggins' Understanding by Design (UbD) framework, as well as questions #1-5 on your Unit Planner (Course Google Drive). If not, please return to previous units to complete those steps. This unit will not have any explicit activities or traditional lessons, instead it is completely devoted to offering you a guide to integrating specific dance concepts into one of the core disciplines (math, science, english language arts, and social studies).
Each lesson/resource includes a detailed description of a few dance concepts and example lesson plans that demonstrate how to weave dance appropriately into that discipline. As naturally occurs between content areas, there may be some repeated dance concepts among the different disciplines if you teach multiple subjects. However, the specific applications are individually tailored to each discipline. Furthermore, you may find that some example lesson plans may connect to disciplines other than dance, making them even richer lessons. These lists are in no way exhaustive, and should be used either as quick resources or launching points in the next stage of planning your interdisciplinary unit.
Unit Objective
Participants will explore practical applications and example lessons of dance integrated into specific content areas
