Grade Four students have created beautiful dance pieces to
express the ideas of rules, rights, responsibilities, and prejudice. By using a variety of dance models, students
created their very own dances.
Their dances were inspired by poetry, stories, videos, TV
dramas, slave journals, and more. When
asked what students loved most about their dances, they wrote the following:
Our facial expressions
and working together
We didn't laugh and
how we walked on the chairs.
I liked the rope
pulling.
. . . the part where we got to freedom . .
. . .how we did the chair dance step . .
We used a lot of eye
contact.
The part where my
partner and I pull each other because it shows we're helping each other.
When asked how they thought their dance could change the
world, they wrote:
People would think
more about slavery and people that are slaves.
If people see it they
will know how does it feel when you're separated and work.
Here are videos of Gr. 4. I hope that I've got everyone's videos. Enjoy the various ways the students expressed their ideas.
To Gr. 4 students . . . I hope that you have a wonderful summer! I've really enjoyed teaching you this year.
