A collection of the 12 modules required to compete the ASDAN CoPE Award. The following resource is intended to be used alongside the official ASDAN CoPE Student Book and in no way replaces this resource. The following pages can be used as a teaching aid or as direct worksheets for students to use. It should be noted that the ASDAN CoPE course also requires a number of skills sheets, these are not included in this pack as they are in the official student book. Level 2 notification: The level 2 course requires a higher level of independent work and so resources would need to be used as teaching guidance rather than student worksheets.

This resource has been created for a SOW lasting either 6 or 12 lesson depending on how much choreography is taught alongside each style of dance.

He liked to stay all day in… - but you can guess the last word, and so can the children, although some may prefer to offer alternatives with other rhyming words.

Follow on with dragon sketches or try my dragon’s menu for easy, crazy writing fun.

Component 2 requires the students to review their own development and performance within learning aim C.

This literacy mat and guidance offers a structure to follow and sentence starters to ensure students reflect on previous targets and achievements, guiding them to achieve C.2D3. Performing Arts focus.

Within the new GCSE Dance specification, the students require a wide range of knowledge which in turn demands the initial understanding of specific terminology with many different catergories address in the specification content, for example physical skills, choreographic devices, aural setting, performance environment, safe practice etc. This powerpoint lists all the categories and topic that are covered in the 40% written component and can be used as a game/quiz as each heading appears first giving time for students to either, call out for points, discuss with partner, or just work independently to formulate a list in response. Great light revision activity for those final days leading up to the written exam.

Each lesson comes with lesson starters in the form of ‘bell activities’/’Talking Points’ and lesson objectives. Homework tasks and all resources needed for this PowerPoint are included. Although the main theme of this delivery PowerPoint is Infra, this SOW begins by teaching pupils a set phrase mega mix (music included) in which all sections of the dance anthology are represented (ignore the ‘Within Her Eyes’ music at the end of the mix. That comes later in the ‘Within Her Eyes SOW’). The point of this is to recap the 5 anthology dances studied so far, looking at the key motifs in each. Breathe is also introduced at the end of the SOW.
