Overview

Excerpt from School Room Gymnastic Lessons, Grades II-VIII: Story Plays and Rhythm Exercises for Grade I This must be clear and adequate, but as brief as possible. The cue method is the simplest and briefest. In this method the class remains at at tention thruout. The teacher does the exercise correctly and vigorously once or twice while naming it, i. E while giving the preparatory descriptive part of the command. During the pause and when giving the final signal, he holds the fundamental position strongly, being careful to avoid responding to his final command (unless he is starting a rhythmic movement). This cue method can be used for all simple or familiar exercises. The demonstration method is a performance of the exercise by the teacher (with explanation and descriptive coaching), while the class is at ease, making it necessary to call the class to attention before starting the exercise. This method is used for more difficult exercises when first presented. In the lessons the words demonstrate, later use cue method mean that when the lesson is given the second or third time the cue will suffice. For very simple or very familiar exercises the verbal description of the preparatory command is sufficient, neither cue nor demonstration being nec essary. In the imitation method the teacher does the exercise either without or in response to the final command, and the pupils follow as soon as they can until, by the second or third round, the rhythm and unison have been established. This method is to be used only for the indefinite movements in story plays, and for some mimetic exercises, chiefly in the lower grades.
