4 Dance lessons - Chocolate Making

Four creative dance lessons covering the key steps in the process of chocolate making.

Lesson 1 covers the pods growing on the trees & how they are harvested and fermented.
Lesson 2 looks at drying, transporting & roasting.
Lesson 3 looks at the winnowing process
Lesson 4 covers grinding, mixing & refining the chocolate.

Each lesson gives the children endless opportunities to decide how they will respond to the tasks which makes the lessons very inclusive of different abilities and levels of experience, whilst requiring the teacher to simply set the tasks (verbally) & give feedback. There are opportunities for team working and for groups to observe and give feedback.

These lessons are very much written with the non specialist in mind, they are in a clear step-by-step format with hints along the way, they also include a suggestion for music that will suit, but please feel free to add your own choice.
