THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS | Final Creativity Challenge
Ripple students are working on a final Creativity Challenge for the season. Over the next five weeks, they will create a short dance based on a scaffold provided by the teacher that incorporates these key elements:
- Their Ripple level’s performance goal
- A specific movement concept
- Three of the Gold Standards for their current Ripple Level
This type of collaborative project benefits students in a variety of ways.
1. Raises Awareness | The required elements raise student’s awareness of what is important to focus on as an individual.
2. Strengthens Teamwork Skills | Engaging in a creative collaboration with peers has the potential to increase a student’s ability to:
- explain their ideas to others
- listen to alternative ideas and perspectives
- reach consensus
- delegate responsibilities
- coordinate efforts
- resolve conflicts
- integrate the contributions of multiple team members
3. Deep Level Processing = Retention | Compared to simply following along in class, the students’ processing level is much deeper when they must decide as a group how to present the required elements. This leads to greater retention of the class content.
BON VOYAGE!
