Learning Objectives

Indicator: B1.2.2.3.2 - Create own artworks to express own ideas of performing artworks produced or found in the local community that reflect the natural and manmade environments

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify at least two performing artworks in the local community that reflect the natural environment and two that reflect the manmade environment.
Create a short dance, song or drama piece of about 20 to 30 seconds that expresses their own idea about either the natural environment (for example, a river, forest or farm) or the manmade environment (for example, a market, lorry station or school building).
Use available local instruments, objects and techniques (such as drums, rattles, clapping, stomping or call-and-response singing) to perform their created piece.
Explain, using one or two sentences, how their created artwork connects to the environment they chose.
Reflect on a peer’s performance and say one thing they liked and one thing that could be improved, using kind and helpful words.
