  1. Task Cards • Teach your class a short dance sequence/motif that includes at least one travel, stillness, jump, gesture, turning and possibly a transfer of weight. Make sure you explain what each move is. If your class already know the 6 basic components of DANCE skip to Step 2 • Split your class into small groups (ideally between 3-6 in a group) • Give a task-cards to each group and ask them to make up a motif based on the task. They must practice and prepare to perform to another group or the whole class. • Give between 10 – 20 mins for pupils to prepare their performance. • Before performing, the pupils should read out or give their Task Card to their audience (whole class or another group) • Observing pupils should give ‘x’ factor points for all the elements achieved from the task card • To allow for extension: EACH CARD HAS A DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT QUALITY SUCH AS A CHANGE IN SPACE OR DYMNAMIC. Once children have achieved the first part they may add the development qualities if they (or you) desire. • To further extend the task, groups could swap around the cards until they have 3 different sequences/motifs.

  2. Task Card A Can you make up a motif/phrase that includes: • 1 gesture • 2 different stillness • 3 jumps Extension work for those who have completed the above: NOW REPEAT AND ADD…………. • 2 travels – to include a DIAGONAL DIRECTION • 1 turn Between 6 - 9 ‘x’ factor points to be gained

  3. Task Card B Can you make up a motif/phrase that includes: • 2 travels • A jump • A stillness • And a turn Extension work for those who have completed the above NOW REPEAT AND ADD……… • a FIGURE OF 8 PATHWAY FOLLOWED DIRECTLY BY • a SQUARE PATHWAY Between 5 - 7 ‘x’ factor points to be gained

  4. Task Card C Can you make up a motif/phrase that includes: • A gesture • A jump • A stillness • And a travel Extension work for those who have completed the above NOW REPEAT AND ADD…………. • QUICK and SUSTAINED (drawn out and slow) SPEED Between 4 - 6 ‘x’ factor points to be gained
