Strategies for embedding instruction [possible sequence & strategies to align instruction and assessment to the Standards for Visual & Performing Arts
within a classroom unit]
This assessment provides experience in the performance process. Students will become reflective of their own process and apply this experience to
future work in rehearsal and performance.
Assessment procedures [outline of procedures necessary to obtain comparable work from multiple teachers]
The following is planned with an A/B schedule in mind. Class meets for 85 minutes. Each day represents one class session.
Knowledge, skills and vocabulary [focusing on concepts required to successfully complete the task]
Key vocabulary: Shared Knap, Clap Knap, Knap, John Wayne, Uppercut, Balance, Line of Sight, Distance, Eye Contact
Methods for vocabulary instruction including: describing the word, having students restate the definition, having students create a visualization of the term,
discussing the term, and engaging in games involving the meaning/application of key vocabulary. Students will use the acronym of B.L.O.O.D. to help recall
balance, line of sight, eye contact, and distance.
Students will be able to create an original two-person scene that follows the specifications for safe stage combat.
Students will learn, refine, and execute a variety of different combat moves.
Students will choreograph an original fight sequence connecting at least sixteen different moves and four falls.
Students will be able to describe the unique considerations and conventions of stage combat in their own words.
Students will be able to demonstrate and apply their mastery of hand-to-hand combat through performance of an original scene.
