Description: In groups, create a silent 2-4 minute scene based on a theme, and accompanied by music. Use all the viewpoints Step 1: Theme based on an object. Complete the analysis worksheet based on the object assigned in class. Decide as a group on one theme to base the final project on. DUE _______________________________ Step 2: Incorporated song Choose a song that helps show the theme along with physical choices. Don’t base movement on the song, but instead base movement on the theme. Choose a song that would help to accompany this. DUE November 19th Step 3: Incorporated Viewpoints In class (and out of class if your group needs more time) you will create a 2-4 minute piece. This needs to include all of the viewpoints. Submit an outline for the final performance. DUE __________________ Viewpoints of Time: Duration, Repetition, Kinesthetic Response Viewpoints of Space: Shape, Spatial Relationship, Gesture, Architecture, Topography Step 4: Perform and Respond! Perform your scene. Respond to at least 2 performances to the groups in class discussions.

(0 points) Total Analysis for Final Project Description: In groups, write down the observations that you have about your assigned object. Then derive possible themes that could be interpreted based on the observations you made. Decide on one theme to work with for your final project. Observations Themes 15
Our chosen theme for our final project is___________________________________________________ Lesson 6: Viewpoints of Space—Topography and Architecture Objectives: Students will demonstrate their understanding of Topography and Architecture by participating movement-based activities to express mood and theme. They will also demonstrate an understanding of the impact of music on a performance by participating selecting options for the song they will use in final performances.
(Goal: To assess their learning of the viewpoints and basic analysis skills.) Each group will have 10 minutes to perform and for the class reflection. Teacher Note: Record all performances on so that you can grade them later. After each performance, ask the following questions as a reflection to the class. What was the most powerful part of performance? Why? What did their scene convey to you? Why? What were some ways that you saw them using the viewpoints? (Have one teacher be marking who is responding to the scenes. This is part of the assessment.) Step 3: Have student report how many times they responded to a group. Have them turn this in before leaving.
