INTRODUCTION The 17 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which contain a practical component all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects are:  AGRICULTURE: Agricultural Management Practices, Agricultural Technology  ARTS: Dance Studies, Design, Dramatic Arts, Music, Visual Arts  SCIENCES: Computer Applications Technology, Information Technology, Technical Sciences  SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism  TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, Mechanical Technology and Engineering Graphics and Design A practical assessment task (PAT) mark is a compulsory component of the final promotion mark for all candidates offering subjects that have a practical component and counts 25% (100 marks) of the end-of-year examination mark. The PAT is implemented across the first three terms of the school year. This is broken down into different phases or a series of smaller activities that make-up the PAT. The PAT allows for learners to be assessed on a regular basis during the school year and it also allows for the assessment of skills that cannot be assessed in a written format, e.g. test or examination. It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners complete the practical assessment tasks within the stipulated period to ensure that learners are resulted at the end of the school year. The planning and execution of the PAT differs from subject to subject. The subject Dance Studies has TWO performance assessment tasks (PATs). The TWO PATS = 100 MARKS and constitute a quarter of the end-of-year examination mark and should be given the time and attention they deserve. 2. PAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGARD TO NSC FINAL RESULTS This 2020 PAT document should be implemented in all provinces by teachers and schools offering Grade 12 Dance Studies. The purpose of this guideline is to provide detailed instructions for teachers and learners on how to administer and manage the PAT content to meet CAPS requirements for external moderation of compliance. The two PATs (100 MARKS) constitute a quarter of the final year marks and should be given the time and attention they deserve within the 4 hours allocated per week per term plus additional time after school as indicated in CAPS.

PAT IMPLEMENTATION  The PATs should be implemented across the first two terms of the school year.  The PATs are ongoing as against a one-off test/examination and multiple opportunities should be provided by the teacher for the learners to keep improving as they receive guidance and develop skills.  The PATs assist teachers in seeing what learners understand within a lesson as it involves active learning which makes learning visible immediately.  The PATs are a compulsory component of the final Grade 12 FET promotion mark.  It is therefore important that schools ensure all learners complete the PATs within the stipulated period.  Failure to complete the PAT will result in an incomplete/not resulted mark at the end of the year. TERM 1 TERM 2 PAT YEAR PAT 1 PAT 2 MARK 25 marks written 25 marks written 100 MARKS 25 marks practical 25 marks practical 4. DISABILITY/ILLNESS/INJURY  A disabled learner enrolled at the start of this FET subject will be examined within their performance abilities and will not be discriminated against in any way.  This could be extended to an able-bodied learner due to serious illness or injury in their Grade 12 year.  Application in this regard must then be made to provincial directorates for any changed status in performance ability with regard a learner with previous good health.  Medical evidence and testimony from a professional must be submitted.  This will not apply to the written or participation areas of the PAT requirements, only to the final performance mark.  Pregnancy is not regarded as an illness or injury. A pregnant learner will be given every opportunity to complete her PAT(s) before/after the birth of her child but within the school year.  The PAT components can be adapted to allow participation for injured learners in the final performance, e.g. performing on a chair/wheelchair/standing/minimal movement. 5. LIST OF RESOURCES  Learner's Grade 12 Excellent Dance Studies textbook – PAT content  Teacher's Grade 12 Excellent Dance Studies textbook – teaching methodologies  CDs, a collection of suitable music and musical instruments, music system  Literature/Articles/Textbooks on dance (books, magazines, internet)  Access to research information on topics to be addressed in the learner choreographies, e.g. books, magazines, newspapers and the internet  Reference books such as Dance Studies: Teaching Improvisation, Choreography and Production (WCED 2009 – available from Edumedia https://www.yumpu.com)  Repertoire for the chosen dance genre in PAT 2  Props, costumes, performance venue and other production elements, if available  Video camera/cellphone to record the group dances and the choreographies  Cellphone to record the process and product of the choreographies as evidence or for composing a work for video/film.  Free editing programmes if the choreography is composed for video/film.  Access to the school computer room/lab for researching/editing.

PURPOSE/BENEFITS OF THE PATs (within the General Aims of CAPS – page 8 and within the Specific Aims of Dance Studies – page 9 in the CAPS document) CONTENT, SKILLS, ATTITUDES AND VALUES The Performance Assessment Tasks (PATs) consists of both theoretical and practical sections with a 50/50 weighting of allocated marks. The theory should be integrated and applied within the practical section. The PATs serve to strengthen the higher order thinking and performing skills needed in the final written Paper 1 and practical Paper 2 NSC examinations. Dance as a performing art needs to be experienced not only in the classroom and examination room but also in productions on stage, where possible. Performance lifts the standard of dance technique and performance quality. The PATs encourage an active and critical learning approach to learning, rather than rote learning of given truths. The subject Dance Studies teaches learners essential life skills needed in the 21st century. The PATs teach far more than dance and performance skills. https://www.aeseducation.com/career- readiness/what-are-21st-century-skills Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dance Studies 6 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC The PATs Allow Learners to Develop Skills Experienced in Real-Life Situations Such As: Critical thinking:  Collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information as well as respond, enjoy and make discerning judgements about dance.  Use music/accompaniment/production elements/choreographic structures/ performance spaces/technology/mixed-media, etc. to enhance a dance work.  Engage with social, cultural, environmental and community issues through dance. Creative thinking:  Develop an idea through research/improvisation/exploration/abstraction/ interpretation from a starting point into a complete dance work.  Use symbolism within movement, mixed media, technology and production elements to convey a meaning/intent of choreography.  Develop the body as an instrument of expression; conceptualising an idea/theme/ concept into movement/make meaning of movement.  Communicate effectively using visual, symbolic and/or language skills in various modes. Problem solving:  Manage themselves and others.  Manage time restraints and meeting deadlines.  Find creative resolutions to problems/implementing corrections for improvement. Flexibility:  Deviate from plans as needed, knowing and admitting mistakes.  Identify and solve problems and make decisions using critical and creative thinking.  Critically evaluate and reflect on own work and able to implement improvements. Leadership:  Motivate a team to accomplish a goal, walking a team through the steps required and achieving those goals collaboratively. Initiative:  Organise and manage themselves and their activities responsibly and effectively.  Start projects, strategies, and plans on their own. Productivity:  Maintain efficiency in an age of distractions; the ability to complete work in an appropriate amount of time, meet deadlines, preparedness.  Accountability.  Responsibility. Social skills:  Meet and network with others for mutual benefit.  Commit to tasks/others in the group, the broader social group, etc.  Identifying own values and respecting other people's values (committing to safe practices so as not to harm others).

GUIDELINES ON HOW TO START LESSON PLANNING WHAT is being taught HOW will this WHY is this be taught being taught WHAT must be considered  Recap the General Aims and Specific Aims of Dance Studies (as outlined in CAPS) and identify areas where overlapping aims can be incorporated into the broad planning specific to the PATs.  Read the guidelines in this document as well as CAPS for completion of content for compliance.  The weighting of practical and theoretical = 50/50 must be included in all planning.  The PAT could be started in Grade 11 and then developed further in Grade 12. This could be an ideal way to manage large numbers of learners in a class and could eliminate undue stress in the learners and increase their development of confidence, creativity and performance quality.  School timetables should indicate the correct amount of time allocated to the PATs for each specific term. The PATs may not be given to learners to do unsupervised on their own outside of the school timetable. This includes both the practical and written components which need to be factored into the term planning.  Teachers are responsible for managing their learners after school hours/shared time for the use of venues/equipment, etc. and ensuring their safety which means teachers must be on site if their learners are.  Teachers are responsible for keeping a register of attendance for all lessons (during school/after school/additional times) for all learners as well as their involvement for a valid and reliable process/product mark.  Teachers are responsible for creating a DVD/electronic version of all learners' PATs for external moderation purposes. Include this in the timeframe for planning as this is a compulsory requirement. WHY teachers need to plan carefully  Identify core values to be incorporated into the PAT planning as life skills as well as performance skills to be taught.  Any form of creativity takes time to conceptualise. Quality thinking and experimentation will need sufficient time and guidance from the teacher for learners to realise how to achieve their creative ideas.  Consider different learning styles so all learners can reach their full potential.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dance Studies 8 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC HOW to implement this  A breakdown of teaching methodologies/teaching strategies for each weekly lesson corresponding directly to the learner briefs for the term, indicating: o How each activity is an essential part of the building blocks for completion of the PAT, i.e. why was this included in the broad planning. o LTSM (learner, teacher support material) to include inspirational reading, viewing, listening material as well as reference to pages in the learner textbook for further guidance/ideas and knowledge. Indicate how this will be used to empower personal growth/development of the learner for the completion of the PAT. o Include adaptable tasks so they can challenge a wide range of learning styles and abilities. o How tasks/adjustments will be made for disabled/injured/ill learners and how these learners will be assessed to meet PAT compliance requirements/time frames. o Intervention strategies on how to help learners achieve their goals. o A timeline of dates for sections to be completed so feedback can be provided on how to help learners improve/grow along the way. o Final dates for assessments so learners are prepared.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dance Studies 9 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC 8. GUIDANCE FOR DEVELOPING A LEARNER BRIEF An exemplar learner brief has been included for PAT 1 choreography on page 19. No exemplar brief has been included for the PAT 2 group dance. Teachers may develop their own based on the guidance provided from the PAT 1 exemplar. Areas to include: Inspire learners:  Provide visual stimuli which will instil creativity, enthusiasm and vigour.  Many learners may not have been exposed to viewing a wide range of choreographic works currently available in theatres/YouTube/video, etc. Find works that link to the PATs that include new/innovate trends in choreography/the use of dance fusion/production elements/music/accompaniment and technology.  Find dance works that will inspire learners in developing their own technique, performance quality and creativity. Groupings:  In schools with a large Grade 12 enrolment, dance learners could be placed in groups. This could be decided on by the teacher.  Where there is only 1 learner, dancers from other grades could be used to make up a group. Learner briefs:  Detailed learner briefs must be provided at the start of each term outlining how each lesson/step will progress and be assessed = timeline.  Teachers are responsible for ensuring each learner has a designated journal for the written content of the process and product of the PATS. This may not be done in the task book for general study purposes as the journal will be submitted for external moderation.  The learner brief must be pasted in the learners' journals for moderation purposes and verification of marks.  The written work must be a personal account/own experiences in relation to the PAT and should not consist of pages rewritten from the textbook.  The briefs should include reference pages to the textbook relevant to the PAT. Marking criteria:  Learners must receive the marking criteria before they start the PATs to guide their planning and preparation.  Teachers need to read the written work on a regular basis and provide feedback for improvement. This should be evident in the remarks on work/dates/signatures in the learner journals.  Teachers must provide regular feedback on the practical components for improvement.  Teachers are responsible for collecting and submitting ALL learner journals and evidence of the process once the PATs are completed for internal HoD/provincial/DBE/UMALUSI moderation.

This should be managed by the teacher.  Learners can choreograph one group dance collectively (especially if there are large numbers of Grade 12 learners) or choreograph individually on a group.  If choreographing in a group, each group will produce one choreographic work that all members contribute to.  If there are only 1 or 2 Grade 12 learners, dancers from other grades could be used to dance in the choreography/dance work. These learners may not produce a solo or duet.  The dance work should not exceed 3 minutes because of time restraints at school.  Quality v/s quantity. Teachers should guide learners to select the most relevant material developed over their planning and improvisation processes for their final product.  A letter of authenticity is required from each learner that their choreography has not been plagiarized.  Teachers should provide a selection of music for learners/groups to choose from if they are unable to find their own music. Many times, learners will not have access to a wide range of suitable music. Teachers should also assist in the final selection, fading, cutting and collection of music for final assessment and moderation.  If teachers use the learner brief exemplar included in this PAT, use the school Wi-Fi connectivity/overhead projectors connected to a laptop or cellphones to access the relevant electronic examples of the content provided for inspiring learners. Guiding learner improvisation/creativity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHyrWyekRMc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8JiB2Nv5Qo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mptyZmxaYvE 9.1 Time Frame  This PAT is done in term 1 or 2. It should take 8–10 weeks to complete.  Prior preparation could have started in Grade 11 term 4 (see page 29 CAPS document)  Each group's choreography must be 2–3 minutes in total length.  One lesson/equivalent time per week should be allocated to this PAT during the school timetable. This should include both the practical and written sections.  Additional time during intervals and after school may be organised between the teacher and the learners for feedback and individual attention. This will allow teachers to help groups with any area/blocks they may encounter as well as provide advice for improvement.  Final assessment date must be provided in advance.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dance Studies 11 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC 9.2 Guidance to Help Learners Construct a Dance Work Teachers will need to assist in the following processes and include this in their planning:  Putting a thought process into a concrete concept for evaluation.  Interpreting a given idea/theme/story into movement vocabulary.  Using improvisation/exploration/abstraction/symbolism to create a relevant movement vocabulary.  Incorporating dance elements – space, time and force.  Selecting and incorporating appropriate choreographic structures.  Selecting a suitable performance space for the dance work (conventional/ non-conventional).  Conceptualising the production elements needed to enhance the dance work.  Rehearsing and mastering the dance work for a final performance to include safe dance practice, technique and performance quality. Teachers will need to award a process mark for each learner for the development of the choreography with regards:  Commitment: regular attendance and participation during/outside school hours.  Experimentation: the use of improvisation to create new/original innovative movement vocabulary/selection of music.  Creative input into the composition: coming up with new ideas/preparedness/ research/risk taking/contact work, etc.  Teamwork: able to follow instructions/focussed/committed/resolve conflicts.  Leadership: preparedness/responsibility/focus/developing strategies for improvement. 9.3 Written Content in Journal Teachers will need to assist in the following processes and include this in their planning:  Researching/investigating the chosen theme.  Reflecting on how improvisation was used to develop relevant movement vocabulary.  Reflecting on how dance elements were used in the work and why.  Reflecting on how choreographic elements/structures were used in the work and why.  Choice of music for the work and how it enhanced the work.  Reflection on how the group worked.  Self-reflection on the process – strengths/weaknesses/growth.  Designing production elements for the dance work. The planning for the use of production elements by each learner should not be limited to their actual performance. Learners must be encouraged to design/create/conceptualise what they would use in a production if they had an unlimited budget. Relevance/Symbolism must be included as to how these elements will enhance the meaning of the work. This could be linked to prescribed works they are studying.  Designing a one-page programme note – this can be done in the journal or on a separate A4 piece of paper. It should show relevance, meaning and understanding of a synopsis/intent/idea and be a creative, informative presentation. Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dance Studies 12 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC 9.4 Assessment and Moderation  The mark sheet on page 14 is an exemplar which teachers may use.  The marking rubric on page 15 is an exemplar on how to award marks according to learner achievement.  This PAT document is a guideline. Teachers may create their own mark sheets, rubrics and learner briefs outlining how the marks were achieved. The weighting however may not be changed with a 50/50 weighting for practical and written content required.  Each learner is marked individually reflecting their personal contribution and participation on the process and the final performance/outcome of the PAT.  The process is often more revealing of the true worth of a learner's participation/preparation/knowledge/experimentation/creativity gained in this PAT than the final product produced.  The PAT can be done as a public performance/school performance/assembly or in the dance class. It could be performed in a conventional/non-conventional performance space.  The PAT could have been choreographed specifically for filming (if so all the requirements for completion remain the same). Teachers will however need to develop appropriate criteria for assessment.  Teachers are responsible for compiling a DVD of each choreography and collecting all journals/programme notes if separate, for external moderation.  Mark sheets with learners' names, date of assessment, signatures and marks must be in the teacher file along with the rubric used for assessing the choreographies.  Guest teachers may be invited to assist in the PAT assessments. http://www.kairosdancetheater.org/ Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dance Studies 22 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC The following article can be found on www.elementsballet.org EARTH The Element of Earth is found in our physicality. In Nature, Earth is the container and the holder, for which all the other elements can reside and operate within. It is the ground foundation, the basic structure and framework for all of creation. The physical body, being the basic instrument of operation, is very much a part of the Earth Element. Especially as a dancer, the body is a fundamental aspect in the creation of their art. Quite literally, the body is a dancer's tool for expression. AIR The Element of air is the mental facility. Using the quality of air allows the body to work beyond what it has been given and push past physical limitations. It's about moving forward in the development of the human body, and breaking boundaries. This is what Air in dance is all about; it shapes the body, working and moulding it towards a state of perfection. Dancers need to look like they are floating on air, making everything look effortless. It is an extreme mental workout, but one that needs to occur to move the body forward, to achieve grace, elegance, and beauty. Air also concerns transitions and the quality of movement in between the steps. Air is the overall quality of grace and ease that we as dancers try to convey through our movement. The Element WATER of water is the emotional body and feeling nature. Adding the quality of water, the body is given more fluidity and range of motion. Water is very grounding and allows access to deep emotions and feelings, which are the seat of creativity. In dance it is an element of improvisation, exploration, and experimentation, allowing the dancer to go to that place of open vulnerability within themselves and discover a new way of moving. Water in dance gives the dancer a broader range of movement vocabulary. Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Dance Studies 23 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC The Element of fire is passion. It FIRE is the inner flame that is the source of everything and fuels all of life. Fire is the heart. Fire is dynamic, strong, and very powerful. Fire operates from a place of love. It's finding the meaning that everyone has for dance. Even though a life in dance is physically, mentally, and emotionally strenuous, it is ultimately a love for the art and the craft that inspires dancers to continue to work hard each day. https://www.trazeetravel.com/shake-your-thing-te- mire-ura-of-the-cook-islands/ Signs of the Zodiac https://www.relrules.com/fire-element-air-water-earth-zodiac/ Copyright reserved Please turn over

Push the boundaries/break rules/take chances/believe in your own creative ideas.  Watch inspirational videos/clips/images/poems, etc. to get your imagination going.  Think about and discuss how you could experiment with: o Different kinds of improvisation methods you could use, i.e. motifs, contact work, performance spaces, accompaniment, etc. o Interpreting the theme/thinking outside the box/physically handling the elements in nature i.e. playing with sand and water/emotional connection to elements. o Production elements that might include water/sand/rocks, etc. o Playing various genres of music/accompaniment that could relate to and inspire the theme. These could also be sound effects which you might want to incorporate into accompaniment for your choreography. You could also use a spoken poem/words as accompaniment. It doesn't have to be music. Class Activity: Watch this YouTube link for inspiration on elements of nature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X623FpCKCGU www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdBuDg7mrT8 Journal:  Week 1: Read, view and discuss the examples provided in this brief and do further research/investigation/viewing on how you could interpret your chosen theme for this choreography.  Come prepared for week 2 with suggestions for the final selection of your theme.  Write down ALL your ideas on how this could be translated into a dance work.  Analyse why you/your group made initial selections for the final theme of the dance work during class discussions in week 1 and how to add/improve on them for week 2.  Week 2: Further brainstorm ideas before you make a final selection for your dance work.  Choose carefully as you will not have time to change ideas once you start. Your input is essential if a successful and harmonious decision is to be made on how to interpret this theme before you can start with experimentation in the practical classes to follow.  Come fully prepared for week 3.

Experiment. Be bold. Remember to make meaning out of the movements you experiment with that relate to your chosen theme.  A good way to start is by experimenting using gestures/motifs/every day movements, etc. which you could then abstract and turn into movement phrases.  Experiment with known movements and steps learned in class and think of how you could change them to make them relate to your chosen theme. Class Activity: Watch the YouTube clips on how everyday movement/gestures/ideas/props/contact work, etc. could inspire you for the improvisation sessions to follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHyrWyekRMc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y38bUumNak  Improvisation on water element: Consider how this dancer creates the impression she is under water.

Remember to bring your music/accompaniment ideas to class next week. Ask your teacher for help beforehand if you can't find/don't have music. Don't arrive unprepared! Week 5:  Exchange ideas and select final music/accompaniment that will suit your chosen theme.  Improvise further to develop suitable movement vocabulary for your theme. You could start working with your music/accompaniment as well if you have made a final selection.  Consider which type of performance space will suit your dance work - conventional or non-conventional. This will determine how you will use dance elements listed below. o Time – are your movements fast or slow/stillness, etc., and how does this relate to/enhance your theme? o Force – what amount of energy/force/contrasts in force are you using for different movements and how will this symbolise the emotional message you are trying to impart? o Space – what amount of space will you use (very little/huge) levels, directions, patterns, symmetry/asymmetry, etc. and how this relates to/enhances/adds symbolic value to your chosen theme.
