3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: turning requires balance and control. Move: combining turning and travelling requires coordination.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'turn'
rotate or spin.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Contrast is the same as opposite. Correction: Opposite is an example of contrast. For example, a contrast for travelling forwards is backwards. But contrast can also mean different. For example, travelling around a bend or turning on the spot are different so would also demonstrate contrast.
