Guidelines for marking

The following guidelines for marking show one approach to assigning a value to a student’s work. Other approaches may be used that better suit the reporting process of the school. Categories, marks, grades, visual representations or individual comments/notations may all be useful.

Range	A student in this range:
11-15 (High)	describes the dance work by clearly articulating an initial response and providing an accurate and perceptive description of the work and an insightful and informed evaluation uses a wide range of appropriate dance terminology to describe the dance work
6-10 (Satisfactory)	describes the dance work by providing an initial response, an accurate description of the work and an informed evaluation uses appropriate dance terminology to describe the dance work
1-5 (Progressing)	describes an initial response, provides an adequate description of the work and attempts to make an evaluation uses limited dance terminology to describe the dance work

Feedback

The teacher will provide written feedback that addresses the criteria. Comments inform students about such things as:

their ability to describe the dance work accurately
their use of appropriate dance terminology.

Future directions

As a result of the learning experiences in this Activity, students have begun to learn the basics of dance analysis. They have deconstructed various components of the dance, including the spatial aspects, and in future activities will continue to identify other components of a dance. They will continue to draw on their knowledge and experience in the practices of performance and composition, and apply these skills to the analysis of their own and their peers’ performances and compositions, as well as dance works of art.
