Lesson details

Key learning points
- Move: using canon in a dance involves accuracy of timing and an awareness of others.
- Think: identifying our role models causes us to reflect on the values we think are important.
- Feel: sharing our values involves integrity.

Keywords
Canon - when an action is performed at different times
Role models - people whose behaviour we admire
Emphasis - highlight or stand out
Common misconception
Pupils are likely to focus on people who are famous.
It is entirely possible that pupils are naturally drawn to people who are famous, but it is still feasible to identify the qualities and behaviours that have made them successful such as hard work, determination or courage.
