What you’ll learn
I can modify a routine and teach it to others.
Key learning points
- Move: when performing, pupils show control, extension, accurate timing and flow to perform a high quality routine.
- Think: good communication improves teamwork enabling a higher chance of a successful outcome.
- Feel: good communication when leading a group helps to build self confidence.
- Connect: good leadership facilitates teamwork and encourages input from everyone, making each person feel included.
- Connect: taking turns to be the leader shows fairness and ensures everyone respects each other.
Words to know
- routine
- a series of choreographed movements and skills performed and meeting certain requirements
- leader
- someone who influences others to achieve their goals
- feedback
- giving helpful suggestions on how someone can improve their performance
Common mistakes
Performing group routines often means some members of the group may struggle with the choreography and therefore feel self-conscious and demotivated.
Stress to each group the importance of adapting choreography to suit the needs of everyone in the group. For example, some pupils could perform backward rolls whilst others perform a more basic roll. Or everyone may change the skill they perform.
For parents, carers and teachers
- You may want to carefully consider the groupings throughout these lessons and make changes even at this stage if it is necessary. Differentiation by confidence and competence in leading is more important here than differentiation of physical abilities.
