C. Practice-
1.As a whole class, we will go back through the dance
The steps of the dance are as follows:
1. Walk forward 4 steps and clap on 4 (A more complicated strut with
heels touching floor and toes up with each step may be used.)
2. Walk backward 4 steps to place and clap on 4.
3. Take 3 swivel steps (keep feet parallel to each other and turn
first the toes, then the heels, then the toes) to the right and clap
on 4.
4. Take 3 swivel steps to the left and clap on on 4.
5. Step right and touch left foot beside 2x; clap on count 4, step
left, touch right 2x; clap on count 4. Repeat whole sequence 4x.
6. Eagle Walk--- (Eagle Walk: Like the old "Ball in the Jack" from
years ago or also would look similar to a flapper- type move in the
Charleston.) Turn in a circle to the right 3 steps and clap on the
4th step back in place. As you walk raise arms shoulder level, wave
fingers, dipping shoulders high then low with each step.
7. Eagle Walk--Turn in a circle to the left 3 steps and clap on the
4th step in place.
8. Twist down (count 1), twist up (count 2) and turn left to face
the new wall on(counts 3 and 4)and clap on counts 3 and 4 as you turn.
9. Repeat this sequence to all walls. |

Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
| Children with moderate disabilities may just step in place and clap
if swivel step is too hard or changes of direction are too complicated
for them. Also, children in wheelchairs can be assisted by others
or the teacher may assist. |

|
Checking for understanding-
| Split students into small groups and using a simple assessment
sheet give each student plus, check, or needs improvement on performing
a simple line dance with rhythmic accuracy and in the correct sequence.
Use video taping to enable evaluation to take place after class is
over or for students to self-assess at a later time. |
