Study Guides
This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
This unit will focus on exploring movements and balances in symmetrical and asymmetrical ways. Pupils will create and perform sequences that incorporate symmetrical and asymmetrical balances on apparatus, applying flow. Pupils will learn how to include canon and unison in their sequence creation.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to create a sequence in canon on the apparatus that includes symmetrical balances, incorporating quality actions and fluidity throughout.
Key Notes
- Move: ensuring there are no pauses between the movements and balances requires fluidity and accurate timing throughout.
- Think: resourcefulness enables us to select movements and balances that we can both perform with quality and fluidity.
- Connect: achieving accurate timing in canon involves collaboration and respect as we must communicate throughout.
- Feel: rehearsing sequences and working hard until we are satisfied with the quality requires self-motivation.
Vocabulary To Learn
- canon: performing the same movement one after the other
- accurate timing: performing movements and balances at the exact time you planned or expected
- fluidity: moving from one action to another without stopping
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils choose movements and balances that only one pupil can perform as they are the actions they want to perform.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: ensuring there are no pauses between the movements and balances requires fluidity and accurate timing throughout. Think: resourcefulness enables us to select movements and balances that we can both perform with quality and fluidity.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'canon'
performing the same movement one after the other.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils choose movements and balances that only one pupil can perform as they are the actions they want to perform. Correction: Support pupils to understand that they need to select movements and balances that both pupils in the pair can perform.
