Performance: Federation
Summary of task
Students were asked to work collaboratively to choreograph and structure dance sequences into a performance that used the history of Australian federation as stimulus. They were assessed on the two strands of making (performing and choreographing) and responding. Students’ performance focused on audience engagement, confident projection of meaning through expressive and technical skills, as well as collaboration.
Achievement standard
By the end of Year 6, students explain how ideas are communicated in artworks they make and to which they respond. They describe characteristics of artworks from different social, historical and cultural contexts that influence their art making.
Students structure elements and processes of arts subjects to make artworks that communicate meaning. They work collaboratively to share artworks for audiences, demonstrating skills and techniques.
