Description THIS IS A DIGITAL RESOURCE - You will be emailed the digital files to download. Please provide your email address at checkout. If your students struggle to access the mark schemes for all of the practical components in a table format, use these images to break it down for them. Visual analogies have been used for each component to support student understanding and to make it accessible (especially for SEN, EAL and LA) students who struggle with pure text and numbers. I have developed simple, yet effective ideas to support them in what they need to do to achieve a higher grade with examples. This bundle includes both performance (Set phrases + Performance in a duet) and a NEW and UPDATED Choreography mark scheme categories of the mark scheme and what content they need to use, apply and demonstrate to be successful. It includes key information and how many marks each category it is out of. Print these off and get them to organise it in a way that suits them, as individual images, or a booklet etc.
