GCSE Dance

Mae disgrifiadau'r TGAU yn Saesneg yn unig, gan eu bod wedi eu cymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.

Literacy matters most in the Unit 3 on-screen examination, where learners write short and extended answers that analyse and evaluate three set works and an unseen work using precise dance terminology, and in the Unit 1 reflective log on their own choreography. Numeracy is light and practical: counting phrases, rhythm and tempo, working to set performance times, and describing space through levels, turns, planes, pathways and formations. The biggest thing Key Stage 3 should build is the ability to watch a dance closely and write a clear, evaluative paragraph about it using the correct terms.
