Sarah Lazare replied to Stephanie Campbell's discussion 1970s - Modern Reflections in Bethel - Using Music and Dance as a Primary Source
"I"m glad the point was made that Hip Hop is a dance form/style and not just some "gansta style" thing.  I think that is of utmost importance to have this discussion with your students.  Hip Hop is about confidence and attitude aka "pride"  with self…"

Sarah Lazare replied to Elizabeth Hunt's discussion WWI, 1920s - Progressives in Bethel - Using Music and Dance as a Primary Source

Sarah Lazare replied to Stephanie Campbell's discussion Negro Spirituals / Civil War in Bethel - Using Music and Dance as a Primary Source
"I really liked the Lancer's Quadrille dance. I think it could easily be used with all age groups, especially with my 5-8 year olds. It teaches social skills like turn taking, counting to eight, changing directions, and is a way I can pull in…"

Sarah Lazare replied to Stephanie Campbell's discussion Colonial and Revolutionary Era Reflections in Bethel - Using Music and Dance as a Primary Source
"I just attended a conference where the guest speaker, Gylton Da Matta, pointed out a major flaw in our teaching/learning practices. Often times we scorn and criticize others (or ourselves) when we fail. For example, while playing a team game such as…"
