Year 12 Final 2.1 Reflection

Post the video of your group Dance (group 1 and group 2) and reflect on the following:

1) The standard is titled Choreograph a group dance to communicate an intention.  How well do you think your final dance communicated your intention based on a social issue? Why or Why not?

2) What were the key motifs/movements that were developed in your choreography to communicate the intention? Give specific examples of the move (post photos to back up your explanation if that helps). How obvious do you think these are in the final performance?

3) How have you used you knowledge of the Components of Dance (Elements, Devices, and Structures) and you new found understanding of Choreographic Processes from 2.6 to choreograph for this standard? Give specific examples where possible.

4) Comment on your contribution to the collaborative choreographic process? On a scale of 1-10 (1 being very little and 10 being a lot) how much did you contribute to the final choreography.  Give some specific examples of ideas you contributed that you are particularly proud of.

Year 11 and 12 Dance Blog

This Blog has been set up as an online blog/journal that can be used to record tasks, see examples of things shared by your teacher, load photos and videos, and download links for assessment against Achievement Standards.

It is a way for you and your teacher to keep track of your learning and for others to post or add comments regarding posts. It is important that this blog serves its purpose and that you visit the blog on a regular basis. It is also recommended that you download the smart phone app (IT'S FREE).

You will see that each of the Achievement standards has its own page so throughout the year you will be expected to find the standard you are working on to assist you.

This blog will replace books and note taking so in order to make this work you will also need to set up your own blogger and google account. Call it your 'name' Dance Blog (e.g. Caroline's Dance Blog). You have creative licence to set this up however you wish and add photos.  When you have created your blog make sure you copy and paste the link here for your teacher.

If you get stuck signing up make sure you have a look at the instructions on how to sign in to your google apps to find blogger.
