I am learning about gravitational force and how to use my imagination so I can create and perform various realities. I’ll know I have it when I can perform various gravitational pulls. I am learning about the transcontinental railroad and how to tell a story with body, voice, and imagination. I’ll know I have it when I can tell a story of the transcontinental railroad through an original short scene performance. I am learning about the geosphere and biosphere and how to communicate an idea with body, voice, and imagination. I’ll know I have it when I can describe the interaction between the geosphere and biosphere through dramatic role-play.
