-Students answered questions about tango and we watched a couple videos of the dance.
-Students were split up into groups for a project. Each group will be teaching the lesson to the rest of the class. One group has salsa; the other has flamenco. They divided up the tasks for the project. They all need to complete the reading on their music/dance. The group should compile 6-8 homework questions (and provide answers to me). They should also find a video (or a few) to show the class.
-We will have a little time in class Tuesday to work in the groups.
