Japanese Examples

• Many of the Japanese migrants to the California area came looking for jobs and ended up working in agriculture.

  Teachers can explore the repetitive motion of farming.

  3.1.3 Perform short movement problems, emphasizing the element of force/energy (e.g., swing, melt, explode, quiver).

   

• Japanese people on the West Coast were greatly impacted by the interment camps in the United States during World War Two. This internal migration pulled them away from their homes, homes to which many could not return after their release, and had their freedom taken from them. They lost their privacy, property, and freedom as a result of the regulated, internment life.

Teachers can explore how the compression of space makes people feel differently. When people are forced to give up space and compress, there is a sense of loss of freedom, actual loss of freedom, and a shift in attitude or mood to those around you.

4.1.3 Demonstrate increased range and use of space, time, and force/energy concepts (e.g., pulse/accents, melt/collapse, weak/strong).
