Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Move: performing in groups to peers requires accurate timings, fluidity and quality movements.
  2. Think: knowing that sequences must be performed with control and extension is essential to effective evaluation.
  3. Think: evaluating other group's work, requires understanding changes in level and direction.
  4. Feel: accurately evaluating another group's work requires demonstrating a responsibility to improve their performance.
  5. Connect: trusting the evaluation made by our peers to improve our performance is essential to developing sequences.

Keywords

  • Peer - people who are similar to you in age or experience

  • Evaluate - to look at something carefully, considering it’s quality and ways it could be improved

  • Performance - the execution or display of a series of actions

Common misconception

Some pupils might think that a quality performance should be long and include difficult skills.

If a short sequence that includes easier skills is performed with accurate timings, fluidity, control and extension, this is demonstrating high quality. Evaluation should consider how something is performed as well as what is performed.
