Response to Music Literacy Lesson Plan

This unit really made me think about incorporating literacy into my physical education classes. Dance is obviously a very good area in PE for using music and by creating a unit plan they had students use the internet to research dances from different cultures students were able to use technology and understand the different streams of information presented to them. These are two of the 21st century literacy strategies that are I feel are very important for students to understand and utilize as they progress through school. I also wanted to incorporate as many strategies as possible from my toolkit, so I used teacher collaboration, literacy in my content area and had students discuss their findings.
