GCSE Drama
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Every learner sits Unit 3 as a digital only, 2-hour on-screen examination, and learners who choose sound or lighting design in Units 1 and 2 work with recorded sound, cues and projection. Learners also use recorded and live-streamed theatre as influences and keep a Reflective Log in any format. The single biggest thing KS3 should build is fluent on-screen analytical writing about performances, with sound and lighting cueing as the main practical digital strand.

Da gwybod
- Unit 3 must be taken on screen: "Digital only examination, marked by WJEC" (page 15) and "On-screen examination: 2 hours" (page 5).
- Assessed performance and design are live, not recorded: Units 1 and 2 are assessed "within a live performance" and Unit 2 "within a live performance of a published performance text" (pages 12 and 14). Digital theatre is a source of influence only (pages 11 and 13).
- The Reflective Log is "in a non-prescribed format" (page 5), so digital recording is optional.
- The design viva "is non-assessed" (page 22), so any slides used are not marked.
- Group work is required but learners "are not assessed on their collaborative skills" (page 19), so online collaboration tools are optional.
