The lesson I chose to do came from the fourth standard of the sixth grade fine arts curriculum. The first objective is to perform and understand dances from different time periods, and cultures; specifically, in objective 2 to compare traditional folk or ethnic dances from around the world. I chose to do this lesson because I knew it would be fun and interactive as they get to travel the world and watch different dances, listen to various music, and create their own dance costume. I also thought it would be interesting for the students to see how different dancing is compared to their own style. Dancing is also seen as a masculine performance, so it would be a way for even the boys in the class to make a connection to the fine arts/dance. This tour is much more beneficial for the students then just reading books and articles about the dances, because they can see first hand what the dances look like, what types of music they use and how it is produces, and how the different dances relate to the countries culture. Instead of just reading that the ladies are graceful, and the men are masculine and powerful, they can interpret that knowledge through critical thinking on their own while watching the videos and looking at the pictures.
