GCSE Dance

Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.

The only compulsory digital demand is the Unit 3 Dance Appreciation paper, a digital only examination that includes an unseen work, so learners must analyse dance on screen and type their answers. Everything else is live and physical, but filming rehearsals, studying professional works on video, editing accompaniment to time and a digital reflective log are the practical routes most learners will take. The biggest thing KS3 should build is watching dance closely on screen, pausing and replaying to name and evaluate what they see in typed answers.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Cyrchu, chwilio a chynllunio cynnwys digidol

  1. Studying professional dance works on screen and judging video sources

    Asesu: Yn yr arholiad

    Learners study three set works and should experience professional performance in person or on screen, including staging such as dance for camera. They need to find reliable recordings, use timestamps and understand what a filmed version shows or hides compared with live performance.

    DCF: Cyrchu, chwilio a chynllunio cynnwys digidol, Gwerthuso a gwella cynnwys digidol

    Paratoi disgyblion

    Blwyddyn 7
    Pupils bookmark a teacher-set playlist of professional clips and note the timestamps where a motif is repeated.
    Blwyddyn 8
    Pupils find an official company video of a professional work, for example by National Dance Company Wales, check it is an official source and note the choreographer and date.
    Blwyddyn 9
    Pupils build a referenced digital study sheet on a professional work with timestamped screenshots of key devices, lighting and costume, and compare it with a dance for camera piece.

    Cam cynnydd 3

    • Rwy'n gallu dechrau cyfeirnodi ffynonellau a ddefnyddir yn fy ngwaith, ac ystyried a yw’r cynnwys yn ddibynadwy.

    • Rwy'n gallu storio canlyniadau chwilio i’w defnyddio yn y dyfodol, e.e. creu nod tudalen, ychwanegu at ffefrynnau.

    Cam cynnydd 4

    • Rwy'n gallu chwilio amrywiaeth o ffynonellau gan ddefnyddio technegau chwilio perthnasol a mwy cymhleth.

    • Rwy'n gallu gwerthuso dibynadwyedd ffynonellau gwybodaeth gan gyfiawnhau fy marn a’m rhesymau dros ddewisiadau, a chyfeirnodi gwaith gan ddefnyddio dulliau priodol.

    Cam cynnydd 5

    • Rwy'n gallu ystyried manteision a chyfyngiadau dulliau a ffynonellau gwybodaeth digidol a’r canlyniadau rwy’n eu cynhyrchu ac yna defnyddio’r canlyniadau hyn fel sail i feirniadu ansawdd fy ngwaith digidol yn y dyfodol.

    • Rwy'n gallu cyfeirio’n briodol at ffynonellau o wybodaeth a ddefnyddir yn fy ngwaith digidol.

  2. Researching a stimulus online and planning choreography digitally

    Asesu: Mewn gwaith cwrs (asesiad di-arholiad)

    Learners must create a piece in response to a WJEC stimulus, released on the WJEC Portal, after exploring a range of dance forms and contexts. Online research and a digital mood board or plan help them develop ideas and record where they came from.

    DCF: Cyrchu, chwilio a chynllunio cynnwys digidol

    Paratoi disgyblion

    Blwyddyn 7
    Pupils search for images linked to a simple stimulus such as a storm, adjusting keywords, and paste three into a PowerPoint slide to spark movement ideas.
    Blwyddyn 8
    Groups build a shared PowerPoint mood board in Teams for a stimulus, adding images, words and a clip link, and plan their sections on it.
    Blwyddyn 9
    Pupils use advanced search to research the context of a poem or photograph stimulus, then plan a structured piece in a digital planner with a referenced source list.
