This is a dance lesson in a unit based on travelling to Mars. It is based around Yuri Gagarin and we will be planning and performing part 2 of a dance unison routine
This lesson runs alongside a Maths unit where children create their own diary on Mars to document mathematical findings and a Literacy unit where they write their own non-chronological report on Mars.
This unit is aimed at children at an age 9-11 level (Year 5 & 6 in England and Wales).
The unit’s context revolves around a mission to Mars. Pre-lesson preparation is provided with three animations from an astronaut’s first-person point of view as he or she travels and lands on Mars, making the lesson come alive.
PowerPoints provide structure, modelling, examples and explanation.
There is a lesson plan which includes:
- suggested links to curriculums;
- notes to provide background information;
- optional pre lesson preparation;
- starter, main, groups and plenary sections with suggested timings (please change depending on your class);
- sections of the lesson are linked to Blooms taxonomy;
- Talk time suggestions;
- PowerPoint presentations to support teaching;
- differentiated group activities with extra ideas for early finishers;
- consideration of, and reference to, different learning styles;
- pictures and actions provided for key terms; and
- independent activities that are planned to aim to allow the teacher to support or extend an assessment group within the lesson
Plans and PowerPoints are detailed and thorough to provide teaching structure, if needed, for the whole, or parts, of the lesson. An alternative streamlined PowerPoint is also provided.
Thankyou,
