Materials and Aids-
|
| Power Point Slides that I've created to teach the lesson. |
| |
|
Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1.Why has dance within the church been talked about so minimally
yet been the splitting factor for many denominations?
2.Do you feel that biblically you'd be able to articulate why dancing
is even a form of worship or is that just what culturally we believe?
3.Was dancing God's idea or mans?
4.Is dancing acceptable in church today or was it simply relevant
to past generations? |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1.Through the discussion of biblical examples students will be able
to see that dance was fully a fully acceptable form of worship in
the OT Hebrew culture
2.Continuing on through the NT, examples are seen to emphasize the
continuation of dances acceptability and practice.
3.To then observe in chronological order the church's brief history
regarding dance.
4.An emphasis is then added that it's has been and it always be about
the posture of the heart before him. |

C. Practice-
My portion was more for knowledge sake, but I was involved in the
application part of the project in dancing with the class near the
end.
|
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
| Perhaps I'll never see the physical fruits of worship by dance lived
out or be able to measure my teaching success by it for the main point
they should take away is the posture of the heart before God in worship,
whatever form that may be. |
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
| Through different styles of slides including video and standard
informational slides, the presentation was enriched. The application
of getting the whole class involved allowed for the freedom to dance
together. |
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
|
| A formal test will conclude the lesson. |
|
|
G. Closure-
| A summation of the different areas that were covered and touched
on including there relation to real life situations (ex. chapel services
etc.) |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
| Due to the many compliments following the presentation, I felt that
the students engaged and to a certain degree absorbed some of the
important materials presented. |
| |
|
8. Teacher Reflection-
|
-there was a great enthusiasm about dancing together and I felt
that there was a freedom to do so without feeling judged or criticized.
-perhaps a bit too humorous, taking away from the seriousness of certain
points emphasized
-overall I felt confident in displaying and explaining materials that
I did research on.
-teaching is fun but if taken seriously can take a lot of work and
thought. |
