This is one powerpoint slide on what is needed to compose a gymnastics routine.
It is fully editable and I have embeded the font into the powerpoint.
Suggestions for use:
At the beginning of a unit so students know how much goes into a routine
After students have “finished” their routine - film students/get another student to watch and focus on one aspect then improve that aspect before moving onto the next
As a whole group in a sequence lesson - concentrate on one aspect at a time
Give to higher ability students before they start their routines so they can work all the aspects in when they are creating their routine
Give to no doers so they can evaluate and improve other students work
This is the compositional aspects I have mentioned in my assessment criteria sheet.
