<p>A resource that I made for Year 9 GCSE dance students. This resource is also appropriate for Years 10 and 11 as well as students studying a different specification.</p> <p>What is the resource?<br /> The resource is a 3x3 ‘bingo’ style grid, containing 9 different ways to vary or develop a motif. The squares are colour coded. Red being the squares with simpler developments and green squares having more complex developments. The middle square contains an ‘extra challenge’.</p> <p>How can I use it in my lesson?<br /> This resource can be displayed or projected on a presentation to the class. I have tended to print off copies and laminate them for students. In tasks, students use a whiteboard pen to cross off the developments they have used in their choreography until they reach 3 in a row (or bingo!). Students can choose the developments they use. If they choose to go across, they can complete an easy or hard task. If they choose to go downwards, they can use a mixture of easy to more complex developments. They can also choose to go diagonally, through the challenge square.</p> <p>Is this resource adaptable?<br /> Yes! The resource will be downloadable in PowerPoint which means tasks or colours can be adapted to suit your school or cohort.</p>

<p>A knowledge organiser to support students studying GCSE of Level 2 BTEC Dance.</p> <p>This knowledge organiser includes defintions of key physical and expressive skills as well as appropriate training methods in order to improve. There is also the importance of the skills and difference types of feedback with general examples.</p> <p>This is a helpful resource to support students for Section A and B of the GCSE Dance theory exam or written work for BTEC Component 2.</p>

<p>Task cards to aid students with their choreography. There are 22 in the set<br /> Cards are sorted into 4 categories and are colour coded</p> <ul> <li>Action</li> <li>Space</li> <li>Dynamics</li> <li>Relationships</li> </ul> <p>I have these printed out and laminated. Each task card has a different motif development idea which can be used by students to vary and develop their phrases or whole choreographies. There is a clear title for each card as well as a description which tells the student what they need to achieve or examples.</p> <p>They are aimed at GCSE level (Year 9-11), but can be easily adapted to KS3.<br /> These resoucres are suitable for any exam board. Even though I made these for AQA GCSE, they are still suitable for BTEC and RSL exam boards.</p>

<p>A knowledge organiser used for the teaching of BTEC Component 1 (Dance).</p> <p>Message in a Bottle - Kate Prince Zoonation</p> <p>Contains information to support student’s with Grid 1 (Task 1). It contains information on the work, creative intentions, purpose, stylistic qualities and productions features including costume, movement, accompaniment, lighting and set design.</p> <p>The knowledge organiser does <strong>not</strong> link to a specific theme (outlined in the PSA’s sent by BTEC). It is a general knoweldge organiser to support learning and can be used over time. I used this with my class for a mock.</p>

<p>A printable spinner which I made to support students understanding of motif development in choreography lessons. Developments are colour coded for action, dynamic and spatial changes.</p> <p>To use this resouce, print off the spinners and laminate them. I buy spinner arrows from amazon to complete it. However, you can print off the arrow and use a push pin.</p> <p>This resource supports students in choreography lessons for GCSE and BTEC</p>
