These resources include the written motifs, with tasks to identify actions, space, dynamics and relationships within them. There is also a task where students can write their own. This is good revision for A Linha Curva but also promotes literacy and detail in writing motifs. Attached is also an ASDR booklet which can be used to improve terminology.
GCSE Anthology analysis grids covering the constituent features of the 6 works. One blank for student revision and one basic example. (Please note that the preview has distorted some of the table and it does not have white boxes throughout)
Great resource to use alongside motif writing, dance analysis or choreography to help students to develop their vocabulary within actions, space, dynamics and relationships.
