Teacher may refer to table below to guide students in observation and noticing details. 2. What do you think the artist is trying to convey through this performance? What evidence do you gather from the work that makes you say so? 3. Beginning, Middle, End (Adapted from: Harvard Project Zero’s Thinking Routines)
– In pairs, students are to consider whether this performance belongs at the beginning, middle, or end of a story. – If this performance is the beginning of a story, what might happen next? – If it this performance is the middle of a story, what might have happened before? What might be about to happen? – If this performance is the end of a story, what might the story be? – Students to discuss and explore ways to create a simple performance or movement choreography to illustrate their narratives, and present to the class. Students could explore themes such as heroes, fighters, patriots. – Teacher to organise a critique session for teacher and peer feedback.
