Math Lesson Plan:
Objective:
·
Teach people about the different ways to “hit”
in popping
o
Arms
o
Core
o
Chest
o
Legs
Strategies to help people learn:
·
A hit is a quick flex and release of muscles in
an area of the body
·
A good way to learn is to flex for 2 seconds,
release for 2 seconds, flex for 2 seconds, etc
o
As you get used to this feeling, you can flex
and release for 1 second each
o
Then just keep getting quicker and quicker
·
Some people like to learn how to hit each
individual body part separately before combining them all
·
Others prefer to learn how to hit all
simultaneously, just depends on the person
How to start (hook):
·
Show them what “hitting” on a beat is, maybe
bring some music
Materials needed:
·
A phone or a laptop or anything with speakers!
And a song with solid instrumentals
Assumed prior knowledge:
·
No previous dance experience required! Just
willingness to participate!
Time (for participatory practice):
·
Due to the nature of the lesson, participation
will be throughout the lesson
Development of ideas/skills:
·
Explain what it means to hit a beat, to “hit” on
rhythm with the music, either to a snare, or to a base kick
·
Different ways to hit
o
Hitting and stopping
o
Hitting and bouncing back
o
Hitting and continuing motion
·
Active and continual participation by students
as I explain step by step how to do these things
How to assess the learning (informal/formal):
·
Visual assessment of whether or not people are
doing it properly, or are at least improving
·
Recognition of different beats and when to hit a
bit
Ending:
·
Show a video of Michael “Onion” Kim from Skillz
for Billz to show what hard hitting can look like
Application, further directions:
·
This technique in dance is really great because
you can practice anywhere! While you wait for the bus, while you cook, while
you’re walking to and from places! Practice practice practice!
·
Next time: isolations!
This is a good partial lesson plan, focusing on the teacher's actions, but it is not complete. What will the students be doing? How will you assess their prior knowledge and what they learn from your lesson? How long will each portion of the lesson take? These are all aspects of lesson planning that you will also need to address as you become a teacher!
