I definitely thought it was interesting watching all of groups presenting and seeing the different perspectives on integrating not only music but dance as well. It had made it more fun when deciding on an idea ourselves on how to combine music and dance in a lesson plan. We had several ideas to chose from; one of our first ideas was to roll cubes (dice) with one pertaining to dance and the other relating to music and having them kind of decide how to integrate those ideas in a motion/sound. But in trying to decide how to really teach a lesson in 10 minutes and impletment music/dance, we got an idea from Sarah's husband who is a teacher himself. With each lesson, he sings about math, social studies, science, etc. It really brought a different aspect to what we were able to present.
In watching the different groups, I have some ideas I want to steal for myself in my classroom. The Tahition dancing with the poles I can see students really getting into in; the boys being dare devils and the girls squealing. Then learning the meaning behind the dance, it shows them aspects of different cultures in a whole new way instead of just reading about it.
