Studies of the
Circus can involve crosscurricula and multi-age approaches.
Through visual and performance Arts, students can explore
the value of the circus and its affect on Australian society
through history.
Teachers will find it a rewarding learning experience
to extend classroom activities to include performance
as the culmination of the study unit.
Travelling the world via circus websites will allow students
to explore a variety of circus performance styles. They
will also be able to compare differing cultural influences
on circuses worldwide.
Through debate and discussion students can explore issues
of animal welfare within circuses.
There is also scope for discussion of cultural diversity
through examination of circus projects throughout the
world. |
Many of the websites have good historical
background and can be used for a variety
of learning experiences.
