| Matt Harding dancing in India, Arizona, Australia, and with Tiki's! |
"Where in the world is the Matt" is the question... indeed! Portugal, India, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Iceland, The Netherlands, and Madagascar are just a few of the places you could find him. Matt went to all of these places and more, sponsored by Stride just to do this goofy dance. Why would our teacher show us a clip of a dance? Well, in honor of Geography Week she showed us a few clips of Matt and his dance and these clips allowed us a glimpse of the Five Themes of Geography. Each clip showed the city's Culture, Geography, Movement, Location, Human Interactions, and Regions.
Matt danced in many places- possibly 99% of the world! Anna and I wrote down Portugal, India, New Zealand, New Guinea, Mexico, Iceland, Ireland, Poland, South Africa, Jordan, Solomon Islands, Yemen, Sweden, England, Fiji, Turkey, Japan, Argentina, Madagascar, Spain, Kuwait, Belgium, Israel, British Colombia, Tonga, Zanzibar, Mali, Morocco, USA, The Philippines, Singapore, and Korea, plus more!
Terrina thought that the most interesting place that Matt danced in was The Netherlands because of the poppy seeds. Anna thought that Christmas Island was the most interesting because of it's name and the hundreds of crabs that Matt was dancing with.
Besides the entertainment aspect of the videos it was educational as well. These clips showed each of the Five Themes of Geography which, evidently, will be used in the future (hence an upcoming project) and we were able to see the different cultures and geography/lands that the places had. Both of us enjoyed the video- some moments packed with irony others with embarrassing moments to the courage of dancing on a wedged rock!
