George's Marvelous Medicine - The Dance

When a book club finishes reading a book, they have an opportunity to create a project to show what they learned.  Students are encouraged to share what happened in the book, as well as what they learned about themselves and about life.  This group of students decided to create a dance to show the major events of the story - this was incredibly creative!  They selected a song to dance to and came up with all the motions themselves.  As they were creating, they gave focus to their bodies, energy, space, and time (the elements of dance).  I'm always amazed at what the students of Room 241 will do.
