These checks are original, openly available practice. They are not secure or formal school assessment instruments, a mark for technical skill, or a complete Unit 1 judgment. Choose movement, tabletop directing or notation/analysis. Movement is optional and locally supervised. A paper route can show a choreographic decision but cannot show bodily control, alignment or expressive performance. Get a neutral reading, scribe, larger print or tactile markers if useful. Submit a first response before the teacher opens worked feedback.

Day 5 Check A · New G passage

Use the new G score sheet or searchable PDF; exact text/tactile alternative is equivalent. The setting is an invented observatory display, not a real site, tradition or dance work.

Given facts: One marker moves 1 H → 2 N → 3 F → 4 H (compact score H–N–F–H). The display designer's stated purpose is to help a visitor notice the far window after the near edge. The score does not show an audience reaction or a dancer's physical technique.

Your task (four parts):

  1. Mark two facts from the given score and distinguish one possible inference.
  2. Revise one named element (a location, duration or facing) while keeping four numbered counts. Show the before/after score or marker path clearly. Explain why your change may serve the stated purpose.
  3. Cite an exact count/space/time feature that supports your possible audience reading. Name one limit of what you know.
  4. State one safe route for making this decision without compulsory movement, contact or filming.

This response can be four brief sentences plus a score. More than one defensible revision is possible. The teacher may collect a first draft without requiring a public showing.

Day 10 Check B · New H crossing

Use the new H score sheet or searchable PDF; exact text/tactile alternative is equivalent. The setting is an invented visitor centre model, not a real community or performance.

Given facts: Eight counts form two identical four-count phrases: 1 H, 2 F, 3 N, 4 H | 5 H, 6 F, 7 N, 8 H. The model has two imagined information panels, one far and one left. The designer wants a version that may help a visitor notice both panels. The original score shows repeated directions; it does not show a visitor response.

Your task (four parts):

  1. Label the original structure (repeat or contrast) and cite its second phrase as evidence.
  2. Write or direct a revised eight-count version that changes one named element in the second phrase to support the two-panel purpose. Keep the first phrase as given.
  3. Explain a possible audience reading with an exact count/position reference, and one limit of your claim.
  4. Say what this paper/marker evidence can show, and what further evidence would be needed to judge physical dance technique.

You may count silently and use a marker. No sound, walking, touch, camera or public performance is required.
