Interesting Dance Videos and 2 cents on Making Connections

 Consider the 5 elements of Dance when you view them...

If we make subject to subject connections, then we are able to explain how the idea of perspective drawings and fore, middle, and back ground shapes (visual art), as well as mathematics enlargement and reductions (math gr 7), combined with Science's optics (science gr 10), shadows (every time most of you walk in front of a teacher's projector), and foreground background (visual arts), in collaboration with Dance...well then that explains quite a bit in these sequences...

"Drawing" attention to (writing about) these cross-curricular connections is a key requirement to consistently achieve Level 4. There are many occurrences in your weekly (and perhaps daily) learning where you can connect the ideas from one subject to another.
