Lesson Plan

Water Dancing:

In this lesson, students will learn about the movement of water. In particular, flow (as in the flow of a stream), force (as in the force of a rushing wave) and fall (as in the fall of water in a waterfall). Students will create movements to imitate water and culminate in a student-created movement and dance to a book and to music.
