Who - For teachers to use with students in elementary school.
The need - The teachers interviewed expressed different needs such as primary content for upper elementary, processing emotions, and working together in groups.
What - This activity is Marvel Superhero themed. Students are exploring simplistic movement through super hero poses and tiktok examples. Students are will talk about good and bad by discussing heroes and villains. Finally, students will use a model of the avengers to work as a team to come up with movements/compositions.
UDL and SEL - UDL is utilized because students are able to receive the content through multiple means of representation: Visually and aurally. SEL is used by creating self-awareness of who has what role in the group.
