Dance:
Horton
This month we will be exploring Hip
Hop as a dance style and as a factor that can influence the choices young
people make.
We will be watching a variety of
Hip Hop dance clips to get a better understanding of the different forms within
the genre. Students will be creating their own Hip Hop dance sequences, with a
focus on communicating a specific message through movement, which is relevant
to the lives of the dancers.
We
will examine the origins of Hip Hop as a style, and analyze the social,
political, and economical factors that contributed to its’ emergence.
Health:
Komguem
We
will continue to focus on the nutrient content in our diets. We will examine
Nutrition Tables from common fast-food restaurants and analyze their options,
in order to develop a plan for making healthy choices when eating out.
We
will examine the relationship between portion size and serving size, and
determine what is appropriate for Grade 8 students, based on their physical
needs.
