Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

1. Based on the research list and performance of traditional dance movements identified in B1-B8, classify the games into low, moderate and high intensity activities.
2. In small groups, think-pair-share and refine classification for class presentation.
3. Check your pulse or heartbeat to determine accuracy of classification. Higher heartbeat per minute denotes high intensity while pulse at restingheartbeat denote low intensity
4. Record estimate of duration/measure of performance in your self-journal as your effort to increase involvement in physical activity.
