Performance
• Make a large plus sign on the floor using masking tape. Ask one 
student to stand at the intersection of the perpendicular lines, 
holding rope. Ask a second student to stand along one of the rays, 
holding the other end of the rope so that it is taut. The second 
student walks clockwise (keeping the rope taut) stopping when he or 
she gets to another ray. Ask students: What rotation did the second 
student just make? Where was the centre of the rotation? Students 
could discuss the various rotations performed according to directions 
given.
Active Living: Do the Cha-Cha Slide
This is a party dance by DJ Casper with specified 
moves which are given in the lyrics. Some of the steps 
incorporate slides, turns and reverse which can be taught in terms of the 
transformations explored during this unit.
