In response to the request for revision for year 10 mock exams, here is my suggestion for year 10 dance.
Unfortunately there are no past exam papers that they can work from and limited resources online. I have been told that AQA will be putting on more specimen question papers in September. Therefore I have set homework tasks that relate to revision and they have also been given a textbook which they can use to revise from.
So tasks they can do in tutor:
1. With any of the pages in the textbook, they should look to analyse the 2 dance works that we have studied e.g. p36-37 Space - discuss, using practical examples, how A Linha Curva and Artificial Things use 'Space' in the choreography.
2. Create a Glossary of terms. Words to include: Accompaniment, accumulation, alignment, aural setting, balance, canon, complementary, contact, contrast, counterpoint, dynamics, elevation, extension, flexibility, focus, isolation, level, motif, narrative, posture, proscenium, repetition, rondo, ternary.
