Once students demonstrate mastery of fundamental skills for rhythmic movement, it would be most appropriate to introduce them next to which of the following styles of dance?
  1. Freestyle dance.
  2. Modern dance.
  3. Contra dance.
  4. Line dance.
28.
To introduce students to the rhythmic use of locomotor skills, it would be more appropriate to design patterns that include hopping rather than patterns that include skipping because hopping:
  1. Is a quieter, more controlled movement than skipping.
  2. Can be done in any direction, while skipping can move only in the direction of the leading foot.
  3. Involves one count and skipping involves two counts.
  4. Is more likely than skipping to be included as a movement in various dance forms.
29.
During a folk-dance unit, which of the following would be most important to include at the beginning of any practice session?
  1. A discussion of each student's personal challenges.
  2. Demonstration and practice of the most difficult steps.
  3. A review of a videotape of the routine as performed in the last practice session.
  4. Exercises and stretches to warm up muscles and joints before working on the routine.
30.
A group of fourth-grade students are learning a creative movement pattern in which they form a line and perform a forward roll simultaneously. Each time they execute the roll, one particular student rolls in a crooked line and bumps into a neighbor. To address this problem, it would be most appropriate for the teacher to:
  1. Ask the student to remain after class so that the teacher can assess the student's attitude.
  2. Observe the student's roll to assess movement technique and provide individualized instruction.
  3. Change the choreography to create larger spaces between students when they execute the roll.
  4. Substitute an easier movement for the roll so all students will feel successful performing the routine.
