Macoretta Monthly - Grade 8 October Newsletter

Grade 8 October Newsletter:


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.
