GCSE Dance

Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd 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.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Gofyn cwestiynau

  1. Giving feedback and directing dancers

    Asesu: Yn cael ei addysgu, ond nid ei asesu

    The specification expects learners to grow in confidence giving and receiving feedback, and learners who choreograph for a group of 2 to 5 dancers must explain and teach their ideas aloud. This is a learning experience and is not directly assessed.
