Differentiating the lesson plans : (Objective: The students will be able…

- - - - Litteral learners will be using the blended learning to write down the choreography on the paper. This group will be watching the Youtube of the musical and dance tutorial with their computer by slowing down the play speed to 0.5, also using the Video Rotate & Flip app to view movements as their mirror image so the recording process will be easier.
    - - Audio Learners will be using the blended learning to record the beats and tempo. This group will be observing the whole dance by observing the Youtube video, focusing on listening to the music/beats using their headphones to record the correct sound notation in the music staff notes.
    - - Visual learners will be learning the movements and dance technique with me using the mirrors to check their body alignments, angles, and heights of the jump. They will observe my demonstration and learn the choreography step by step. The strategy I will be using is the "I do it, We do it, You do it".
  - - - Kaden and Lincoln Jones: The Jones are twins who came from Texas to Tokyo at the beginning of school year. Their previous school was a conservatory school and has many years of training in dance, musical and drama. Their process of learning the dance and movements will be faster than others. I will assign them to learn and create the new movements and video record each other to invent new movements.
    - - Shion: Shion has a condition that he can not sweat. He is not supposed to be active. When he does, he overheats his body and passes out. Although he is not active, Shion is a talented in any other subjects and a high achiever. I will challenge him to learn objectives through researching dance forms that use props and different tempos. The particular basketball dance the students are learning in this lesson is six counts. Normally, most of the dance is eight counts. Shion will be focused on learning the connection between the music, dance, and props.
      - Sakura: Sakura is getting a treatment of the Chemo while she is attending the school. Although she has a great interest in dancing, she has a limited tolerance at this time. She will be challenged to study how to manipulate the basketball in visually pleasing ways. She will be practicing how to spin the ball on top of her index finger, how to roll the ball around her body or other ways to move around the ball so she can advance the classmate's technique by implementing her findings and strategy.
  - - - Nikorai & Naoki: Two boys who have a great interest in musical theater and dance process the memories and the movements in fast pace than other students. I will use the Tiering instruction to advance their skills by providing advanced tasks. At the beginning of the lesson, I will teach them as the same as other students. When they become ready to go beyond the level; I will create much-intricated movements to give them misery roll (in dance, "misery" meaning not a solo dance, but two main dancers to dance a solo part together). The advanced dance will include them dancing with creating faster intricate music beats with their feet and a ball, and requiring to pass a ball without dropping and creating a dynamics in floor pattern and dance.
    - - Shunsuke: is taller than other Grade 6 students and he is in the MYP basketball team. He already has a great control with the ball and body movements. Connecting the sports and performing arts will be a challenge to him, yet using his ability to control his body will be a great asset to create the movements. I will challenge him to gain the flexibilities and musicality to gain different Kinesthetic body control. For example, the dance will require a lot of inner thigh muscles, side ab muscles, and gluteus maximus when sports will need quad muscle and other front muscles. I will chunk the choreography and analyze his weakest areas in the movements, and provide the exercise routine for gaining strength in the area. Then have him repeatedly practice the movements with the music until he can move smoothly.
