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 counter balance and counter tension using the floor and apparatus. Pupils will learn how to perform a range of balances in pairs and compose sequences that consistently incorporate flow. Pupils will evaluate their sequences and reflect on how to make improvements.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to perform, evaluate and improve your own and others' sequences to ensure everyone's performance is high quality.
Key Notes
- Move: quality performances require consistency in flow, extension, control and still balances on a variety of apparatus.
- Think: knowing how to respond to feedback and action the suggestions that improve our sequences requires reflection.
- Think: accurately evaluating others' work enables us to make effective suggestions as to how their sequence can improve.
- Connect: giving accurate feedback to another group requires trust that the feedback is received in good faith.
- Feel: striving to want to succeed and produce the best sequence we are capable of demonstrates integrity.
Vocabulary To Learn
- evaluate: to look at something carefully and decide how good it is
- feedback: helpful comments to know how you're doing or how you can improve
- performance: the execution or display of a series of actions
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils may rush to complete their sequence and therefore do not perform to their potential. Pupils may give very brief, low quality feedback to their peers.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: quality performances require consistency in flow, extension, control and still balances on a variety of apparatus. Think: knowing how to respond to feedback and action the suggestions that improve our sequences requires reflection.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'evaluate'
to look at something carefully and decide how good it is.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils may rush to complete their sequence and therefore do not perform to their potential. Pupils may give very brief, low quality feedback to their peers. Correction: Encourage pupils to reflect on feedback and keep striving to produce the best sequence by continually making changes to improve their performance. When pupils feedback to each other, encourage them to use key terminology and give quality feedback.
