Question 1
1.1 Integration Across the Curriculum:
To create context in the performing arts lesson linked to the theme "Bear Hunt," I
would integrate across the curriculum by:
Science: Explain that real bears do not inhabit South Africa. We can explore
the characteristics of indigenous animals in South Africa, comparing bear
habitats to those of local wildlife.
Literacy: Encourage reading comprehension by introducing the vocabulary
that will appear in the story (e.g., adventure, hunt, and nature).
Geography: Discuss the geographical differences between where bears live
(like North America) and South Africa, leading to an exploration of different
ecosystems and habitats.
1.2 Curriculum Outcome Selection:
One relevant outcome from the curriculum that can be taught through the "Bear
Hunt" story is:
Outcome: “Children demonstrate increased understanding of narrative structures.”
Motivation: This story utilizes a clear beginning, middle, and end, wh ich allows
learners to understand how narratives are constructed. They can identify these
components in storytelling and recognize how they contribute to the story's overall
flow and meaning.
1.3 Warm-Up Activity:
For a warm-up activity aligned with the theme:
Activity: "Bear Movements" – Invite the children to mimic different bear movements.
For example, crawling like a cub, standing tall like an adult bear, and swaying side to
side. This physical activity prepares their bodies for movement while engaging them
in imaginative play tied to the theme.
, 1.4 Sensory Awareness Activity:
Create a sensory awareness activity as follows:
Activity: "Bear Hunt Sensory Adventure"
Materials: Use props to represent different textures (e.g., soft fabric for grass, crinkly
paper for leaves, and a tray of water for the river).
Implementation: As the children follow the storyline, they touch and feel each prop
while discussing what they might encounter on their bear hunt. This encourages
them to use their senses to explore nature, enhancing their engagement with the
story.
