Years 11-13 Level 6-8 Duration 12-16 lessons (approximately)
This unit, written by Julie Cadzow, builds on the skills developed in Part One: Respect For Yourself. Students will have the opportunity to participate in class discussions and practical dance activities that identify and explore respectful and disrespectful behaviours. They will create and perform safe counter-balances and weight-taking movements to represent the sharing of problems and being responsible for others. They will also create dance sequences for a duet or a trio and will discover facts about two highly respected New Zealanders who have made huge contributions to the development of dance in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
RESPECT:
- To treat with consideration
- To treat with esteem, or high regard
- To recognise
- To honour
- To look up to
Empathy is the ability to recognise and understand another person's perceptions and feelings, and to accurately convey that understanding through an accepting response Haynes and Avery (1979)
Moral imagination is the capacity to empathise with others - that is, not just to feel for oneself, but to feel with and for others. This is something that education ought to cultivate and that citizens ought to bring into politics McCollough, 1992
