| In this session, educators will use action words, poetry, and children’s literature as stimuli for teaching how to create movement sequences. In this process, children may interpret and express their ideas, experience fundamental movement patterns, and explore movement concepts of body awareness, space awareness, effort, and relationships (BSER). Words, rich in action, will also describe movement in weight/force and time. After practicing and refining movement quality, participants will then perform their creative movement sequence. This project may foster the achievement of the National Dance Standards. The presenter has published extensively in the area of elementary school physical education. |
