Today, we're beginning our journey into Criterion A. We will explore the various types of tasks you need to complete to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding in physical and health education. Can anyone tell me what a written report should include?
It should include details about anatomy and physiology related to our topics.
Exactly! Each report must be between 1,200 and 1,500 words and thoroughly cover those topics. Now, what about the visual infographics? What do we need to illustrate?
We need to show energy systems and the muscle contraction process!
Great! Remember, infographics should be clear and visually engaging. We will also use the PEE structure as a guideline for strong explanations. Can anyone summarize what PEE stands for?
Point, Evidence, Explanation!
Wonderful! Using this structure will help organize your ideas effectively. Let's recap the main tasks you need to focus on: written reports, infographics, and using the PEE structure. Keep these points in mind as you begin your work.
Now, let’s discuss the mark scheme that will guide your evaluations for Criterion A. Can anyone explain the difference between levels 7-8 and levels 5-6?
Levels 7-8 require comprehensive explanations with detailed examples, while levels 5-6 show a clear understanding but might have some minor inaccuracies.
Excellent summary! Remember, achieving the highest level means your work must be accurate and comprehensive. Can anyone think of what might be expected at the lower levels, say levels 1-2?
A minimal level of knowledge with inaccuracies and incomplete information.
Correct! It's crucial that you strive for clarity and completeness in your work. Always refer back to this rubric as you prepare your reports and infographics; it's your map to success!
Before we conclude, let’s look at the Task A template you’ll use for your written assessments. Can anyone tell me what is the first step when using this template?
You start with the cover page and table of contents!
Exactly right! Then, you'll write an introduction that outlines your report. What follows?
The body sections where we cover each topic in detail.
Yes! After that, you'll conclude your findings and list your references. Following this structure is key to making your report easy to follow and professional. Let’s always refer back to this template as it's essential for organizing your work.
For every point you make, a strong example you should bake; evidence to explain, helps learning maintain!
Once, there was a student named Alex who had to prepare for a test. He organized his thoughts using the PEE method: he made a Point, gathered Evidence, and crafted an Explanation that flowed like a story, helping him ace his assessment.
Remember PEE: Point - Example - Explanation!
P.E.E. can also be remembered as 'Powerful Explanations Easily'.
