//It is expected that students will:// || Suggested Achievement Indicators //The following set of indicators may be used to assess student achievement for each corresponding prescribed learning outcome. Students who have fully met the prescribed learning outcome are able to:// ||
 * Prescribed Learning Outcomes
 * use the elements of movement in a variety of combinations || demonstrate a variety of movement combinations that:
 * incorporate various shapes and types of locomotor and non-locomotor movement (body)
 * incorporate various directions, formations, and stage placements (space)
 * responding to changing rhythm patterns (time)
 * include a variety of effort qualities (e.g., suspense and release, bound and free) (dynamics)
 * include interactions among two or more dancers (e.g., lifts; unison, complementary, and contrasting movement to create texture) (relationship)

practise and refine particular elements of movement (e.g., maintaining formation and stage facings, practising particular jumps)

constructively critique their own use of the use of elements of movement and that of their peers

use appropriate terminology to describe the elements of movement (e.g., stage left, upstage, downstage right; unison, contrast, complementary) || [here and/or in Creation?] Use movement sequences, pattern and narrative choreographic form individually and with others. || create a dance sequence based on pedestrian movement Reword " Explore and demonstrate pedestrian movement"
 * create movement sequences using pattern and narrative choreographic forms, individually and with others

following models viewed or learned, create a dance sequence that incorporates a defined high point or climax

work with peers to combine aspects of various dances they have learned to create new movement sequences following a given pattern or narrative choreographic form This AI should only be in Creation ||
 * demonstrate techniques associated with particular dance styles || demonstrate a specified step or movement from a particular dance style they have viewed or learned (e.g., step-ball-change)

compare the use of a specific technique represented in a variety of styles (e.g., step-ball-change in jazz = chassé in ballet) ||
 * apply the principles of movement to dance || demonstrate appropriate alignment technique in non-locomotor movements (e.g., peeling the foot off the floor)

demonstrate appropriate alignment technique in locomotor movements (e.g., jumps)

demonstrate assisted balance with a partner (balance)

in warmup and movement combinations, demonstrate an improvement in their range of motion over time (flexibility)

in warmup and movement combinations, demonstrate improvement in strength over time (e.g., increase in frequency, intensity, and duration)

breathe through their stretches

identify and constructively critique the use of principles of dance in their own dance performances and those of others (e.g., on video, visiting dance ensembles)

follow practice procedures to achieve movement memory Needs clarification. Does this belong here or in another organizer? ||
 * apply health and safety considerations to movement || promote awareness and responsible action with respect to health and safety issues related to dance and movement (e.g., repetitive strain injuries, eating disorders, shin splints)

relate principles of health and safety in dance and the benefits of a healthy active lifestyle to other areas of their lives (e.g., after-school sports, ability to concentrate on school work, increased flexibility, agility)

consistently perform warmup and cooldown when engaging in dance ||
