| Description | (May 2009) This unit is relevant to students as machines are part of our everyday lives. Students may also have studied mechanisms as a technology topic and this learning can be reinforced in the dance class. Dance and drama teachers often include making machines as a group exercise but often do not include any real learning about machine parts or the movement involved in a working machine. There are multiple opportunities for teamwork in this unit. Because of the way it is structured, the students are forced to work in pairs and groups possibly outside friendship groups. The dance-making is structured in a way that involves pairs supporting each other in some dance-making and bringing their own movement material to contribute to the group process.
