Well since I was out of town on my dance tour this last week, I am not 100% sure on how this assignment was supposed to go. But after reading the blog and watching the VoiceThread I think I did the best I could. If it is wrong I can always go back and fix it, but for now I took a shot and now I will hope for the best!I decided to make an educational movie about the proper way to ask a lady to dance, as well as the the proper way for a lady to accept an invitation to dance. We live in a time where young children don't understand one the proper way to dance, and two the proper way to ask someone of the opposite gender how to dance. They think the only way to dance with someone of the opposite gender is to be bumping and grinding up against one another. I decided that students at a young age need to understand the importance of using proper etiquette and respecting each other when it comes to dancing. I am following the 6th grade core requirements of the UEN,- Make connections between dance and other disciplines.- The approach I am going to take with this movie is a "do and don't" where the first time I will show "today's" way of asking each other to dance. I will show how it is wrong, and then we will take like a "take 2" and show the scene over again but using the proper ways of asking. Well that is the plan for now, it all makes sence in my head, maybe when I learn more about the project I may have to alter some things, but for now I feel this is a pretty good idea and it will be fun to see how it all goes together!
Here are some of my old dance pictures, that will hopefully get you excited for this up coming year full of dancing fun!!!
Hello my wonderful students! I am really looking forward to being your teacher for this up coming year. I thought I would take just a moment to introduce myself. My name is Alissa Williams. I was born in California, I am the second oldest of nine children. I love to laugh, play sports, being out in the sun, going to the beach, swings, cooking, eating ice cream, spending time with my friends and family, and so much more. My favorite color is green, my favorite flower are lilies, my favorite holiday (besides Christmas of course) is 4th of July, My favorite movie is Pearl Harbor, my favorite book is the Twilight Series, my favorite board game is Clue, and my favorite flavor of ice cream is Bunny Tracks. But of all my "favorites" my most favorite thing to do ever is DANCE!! I started dancing in 8th grade. I took a beginning ballroom class at my junior high and absolutely fell in love with it! I danced through out all four of my high school years. I graduated from Provo High School Spring of 2006, where I then attended and graduated from Brigham Young University in Dance Education. Dance in my passion! I love to dance and to teach others to dance. Dance has the ability to speak louder than words. It is an opportunity to truly express yourself and have a blast while doing it. This year I hope we can not only strengthen your skills as dancers, but I hope I can help you gain a greater appreciation for your amazing body and the ability it has to move. We will work hard but also have a lot of fun this year. I look forward to meeting all of you on the first day of class!!!
