Being apart of the education program, you get a lot of opportunities to experience teaching opportunities whether it be in front of peers or by going out into the field and teaching children. I go the opportunity to teach a grade 7/8 dance club practice with peer candidate teachers and it was our job to create an appropriate lesson plan that we could use for our teaching. The lesson plan we created is simple, it is an across the floor combination that combines 3 main skills of dance, turning, footwork and flexibility. We chose to create a very diverse assortment of exercises because of the skill level of the class. All of the students apart of the club were beginners and by branching out from usual combinations we were able to appeal to the skills of more learners. Alike the other lesson plans we had a warm-up activity, the demonstrations/task analysis of the combinations, our body of the lesson which was the learning of the combinations, the cumulative activity of participating in the across-the-floor combinations and finally our cool down.
