, 1.1 Bears are not indigenous to South Africa or Africa. In your introduction to
the performing arts lesson, how will you integrate across the curriculum to
create context? (3)
To create context in a performing arts lesson about bears, which are not indigenous
to South Africa or Africa, you can integrate various subjects such as Geography by
discussing the natural habitats of bears around the world, comparing them to the
local wildlife in South Africa. This helps students understand biodiversity and
ecosystems. I can also intergrate Science by explore the biology of bears, including
their diet, behavior, and adaptations. This can be linked to lessons on animal biology
and environmental science.
1.2 Once you have watched the videos, visit the curriculum and familiarise
yourself with the curriculum outcomes in the Foundation Phase. Select an
outcome from the curriculum that can be taught through the story (video) and
motivate your decision. (2)
After watching the videos choose an outcome like “Understanding the characteristics
of different animals and their habitats” from the Foundation Phase curriculum. This
outcome can be taught through the story of bears by providing a concrete example
that makes the abstract concept of animal characteristics and habitats more relatable
and engaging for young learners.
1.3 Create a warm-up activity for the lesson that is aligned to the theme. (2)
A warm-up activity aligned to the theme of bears could be:
Bear Movements: Have students mimic the movements of bears (e.g., walking on all
fours, standing on hind legs, pretending to catch fish). This not only gets them
physically active but also helps them embody the animal they are learning about.
1.4 Develop a sensory awareness activity based on the storyline and video
A sensory awareness activity based on the storyline could be:
Bear Habitat Sensory Box: I can create a sensory box with items that represent a
bear’s habitat (e.g., leaves, twigs, faux fur, small fish toys).I can let students explore
the box and describe what they feel, smell, and see. This activity enhances their
sensory perception and connects them more deeply to the story.
