Dear Diary,
Today in my group, I explored the topic "musical stimuli" where we constructed a dance performance based on the notion of social inclusion and emphasising the awareness of stereotypes that we may come across during our lives. My musical peice was called "Oh my god" based on the movie "legally blonde" as this emphasised the notion of stereotypes. The main idea was that "people shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.” Throughout the decision making process for the dance performance, I was able to link back to my prior knowledge in terms of which dance element did we have to focus on in order to achieve the idea of our topic for the dance performance. In being a pre-service teacher so far, it has come to my understanding on how to incorporate a positive dance lesson. This could be done by taking: correct decisions, making sure the dance lesson fall into three components, composition, performance and appreciation and allowing children to express their ideas and emotions within the space and learning environment.
