Classroom Considerations

  • The research guide includes guidelines for the project as well as links that students can use to begin their work
  • Since the plan allows some language flexibility, you decide how much written and spoken Spanish you will expect from your class

Pros

  • Comes with a video of a dance instructor that you can use to introduce the topic or add a little dance into your instruction
  • Includes an assignment page and a student reference sheet
  • Comes with questions in both English and Spanish that you can ask your class

Cons

  • While there is a rubric included, it's not very detailed and could be greatly improved upon
