My project this week is to do a "close reading" of any subject. Since I love tap dancing, I thought this video of Gene Kelly would be the perfect thing to observe and describe. I already tap dance, but my new goal in life is to be able roller skate as well! I'm thinking I would have the best act in the Variety Show with this!
Observe: Infer:
Sound: rhythmic, drumming, sharp, resonant Joyful
Skating Motion: smooth, graceful, elegant, swift Blissful
Tapping Motion: quick, sharp, wild, exciting Content
Arm Movement: slapping, waving, swinging, Excited
Use of Space: wide, aggressive, turning Enthusiastic
Facial Expression: blissful, content, hopeful Playful
Claim:
In this scene from Its Always Fair Weather, Gene Kelly's graceful skating, hopeful facial expression, and sharp, exciting tap dancing create a sense of blissful enthusiasm.
Best thing EVER. I'm voting for you, so you WILL learn how to do this. Not optional.
