When the music is done, I will ask the audience to describe the colors and how
they felt. Student: Students will listen to the story and then sit in
a circle on the floor. They will listen to music and move to the music. Some
students will be picked to move around the room with a scarf or streamer while

describe what they saw and how they felt. Closure: We
will discuss how dance shows feelings and relates to our lives every day. Assessment: individual
