In this unit learners will be expected to develop, practise and rehearse dance skills and techniques

performance exploring a particular theme.
Candidates will be required to evidence their process by keeping a clear record in a Unit Logbook.

In this unit learners will be expected to attend workshops/lessons to learn technical physical skills
in different dance styles and be able to show interpretive dance skills such as: focus, projection,

Key Dates
Modular Exams Coursework Deadlines
March - April 2016 Unit 3 (Externally Assessed) Friday 18th December 2015
AUTUMN TERM
Unit 3 gives students the opportunity to put their knowledge and experience of how Drama is
approached into practice. The work carried out in the Programme of Study and Units 1 and 2 should
be seen as a foundation that can now be used to mount a performance that will be assessed.
Units 1 and 2 deal with the processes of Drama and offer the potential for exploration and
experiment without the pressure of mounting a complete production with all the associated
responsibility and decision making. Unit 3 does include that responsibility and decision-making
process. It is essential that students understand fully their responsibilities and that the rehearsal
period is the key to success.
In preparation for Unit 3, the Autumn Term will see students developing practical skills further,
analysing the work of others’ to inform their own practise and widening their range of dramatic
performance techniques.
SPRING TERM
Unit 3 - The assignment brief
Edexcel will set an assignment brief that will be followed in deciding what performance material
will be used. The final choice of performance material is at the students’ discretion. Individual
performance groups may be examined through any of the following types of performance:
devised by students from a stimulus
a complete, short published play
an extract from a full-length published play
an adaptation of a selection of scenes from a full-length published play
based on a full-length published play using some original text with additional devised work
based on the situations and roles in the original text
a Theatre in Education piece to a target audience including devised work plus existing play texts, poetry, song lyrics and factual material.
There is also the opportunity to develop material used in Units 1 and 2, provided it meets the
overall assignment brief for Unit 3.
SUMMER TERM
Students will be planning, developing and practically rehearsing their performance for Unit 3. They
will adhere to a performance rehearsal schedule and improve their own evaluative skills, with which
to make further progress in standards.
Unit 3 is externally assessed and assessment will take place in front of a visiting examiner. The
examination form is performance but is still a formal examination that will take place under
examination conditions appropriate to the content.

strongly advised to attend the extra sessions.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is no longer a coursework component for the GCSE in Mathematics. The grade is awarded
solely on the grades gained in the examinations. This does mean that homework in Mathematics is
of paramount importance if the best possible grade is to be achieved.
Use of the schools online materials will be invaluable throughout the course, both as a revision aid
and in a help to understanding and revisiting new concepts and ideas. Online versions of the
scheme of work are also available.

Autumn Term
Throughout the autumn term pupils will be working to complete the controlled assessment
tasks begun in year 10 This must be completed for 30/march 2016.
Throughout this time pupils will be taking short weekly tests to encourage them to continue
revision. All pupils have revision CDs containing all aspects of the technical knowledge and
understanding they need to develop competence in. There are also past exam papers on the
CD so pupils can see the style of questions to be expected on the terminal exam and tailor
their responses to these. Parents should encourage pupils to use this revision material at least
once a week as all home works set will be linked to this.
In December pupils will sit their preliminary exam. This will help staff to identify specific
personal weaknesses of each pupil so again good revision in preparation for this is essential.
Spring Term
Controlled assessment will be finalised before end of march. Pupils falling behind will be offered
the opportunity to attend after school and Friday afternoon sessions to catch up.
The exam board will have set a theme for the examination that will be given out at the start of April.
The remaining time is used by pupils to research the theme set and analyse this research in
preparation for the final exam. Pupils will also need to consolidate their technical knowledge and
understanding as aspects of all of this will be drawn on in the exam. Particular emphasis should be
placed on questions requiring calculations. Again all necessary information is to be found on their
CD
