2nd Edition Lesson

Interactive Dance Stories

GRADE 8 STEAM

What if your students could use story branching to bring dance history to life in a way that’s interactive and fun? In this STEAM lesson, students will explore the history and culture of different dance styles, then use coding to create an interactive storyboard. Their projects will guide the audience through “if/then” choices to discover their favorite dance styles based on the research students provide. It’s a creative way to mix history, culture, and coding!
