Methodology
This class will include learning from research/exploration using a rubber band and
the human body. We will use the visual aid to better understand the learning
objectives and use our bodies to explore our discoveries. The teacher will lead this
class with room for students to interpret and understand the outlined combinations
differently in their unique bodies.
Introduction of Concepts
Class will begin with the group in a circle. We will start by talking about what
tension feels like and then talk about what feel relaxed feels like. We will move into
different poses that represent these feelings, to end with movements that could
represent these feelings. This is where the teacher will introduce the visual aid,
rubber bands. We will continue to explore what happens when the rubber band is
pulled apart, what happens if we snap it, etc. This will become the imagery used
through out the class.
able to observe the movement. We will end with a discussion on what we noticed.
Post-class Reflection
We will end class with a cool down and discussion. Regrouping in a circle, we will
compare the different tensions used during class. We will end class with a reflection
of how this might relate to our unit theme and end with class take aways.
