What you’ll learn
I can apply different dynamics to clearly communicate the meaning of my actions.
Key learning points
- Move: performing actions using a range of dynamics with precision and control helps communicate meaning effectively.
- Think: working out how to apply different dynamics involves decision-making.
- Feel: working quickly and using force requires self-discipline in order to work safely.
- Connect: rehearsing a performance requires collaboration to communicate the meaning clearly.
Words to know
- dynamics
- the speed and force of an action
- manner
- describes how an action is performed
- contrast
- distinctly different
Common mistakes
Dynamics mean how fast or slow you perform an action.
Pupils think that dynamics only means how fast or slow you perform an action and forget that it is also about the force we apply.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Noting the 'manner' fronted adverbial words on a whiteboard can support pupil recall.
