Instructional Ideas
- Flip the lesson having class members view the video, complete the comprehension check, and research some of the links before returning to the classroom for discussion
Classroom Considerations
- Most appropriate for physics classes but would be of interest to dance students as well
Pros
- The resource includes the video, a comprehension check, links to related articles, and discussion questions
- Also included is a link to a video trailer of the San Francisco Ballet's performance of Romeo & Juliet
Cons
- Animations are used explain the physics of the movements; therefore, consider showing clips of dances to underscore the difficulty of the move
