Page 1 states the purpose of the workbook as follows:
In this workbook are activities that will contribute to your final grades this year. You will be assessed on your research document and logbook entries (Criteria 1), on your participation and contribution in rehearsal (Criteria 2), your performance and application of performance skills (Criteria 3) and finally your contribution to the production process (Criteria 4). You can be awarded pass, merit, or distinction for each of these criteria.

What does this mean?
To complete criterion 4, you must complete some design tasks. Below is a list of options, you must complete at least two of these roles. To achieve a distinction, you need to produce work that is successful as well as inspired and inventive; the work will demonstrate a concrete understanding of stimulus, choreographic intention and overall dance ideas. Be sure to read all the tasks before deciding on which 2 to complete.
