1 Unit introduction. IS Introduce the unit: outline the nature of the
topics, and the examination that learners will be
expected to complete for this unit.
Whole class activity: learners work individually, in
pairs or in small groups, to demonstrate any prior
knowledge in the subject area.
Paper and pens
Interactive whiteboard
Topic A: Anatomical positions, terms and references
2 A1: Anatomical
language.
IS Tutor presentation: anatomical standing position.
Pair activity: as a means of checking prior
knowledge, pairs identify reference points of human
anatomy, either on each other (using sticky notes)
or on a tutor-created worksheet. To engage
learners, you could make this a competitive activity.

Individual/small group activity: give learners a
set of key phrases relating to anatomical language
to research. Learners then devise a practical means
of demonstrating the knowledge to the rest of the
class. On completion, resources can be photocopied
and shared, to be used as revision material.
Tutor presentation: anatomical language. Use of
video sharing website clips to aid understanding is
recommended. Relevant clips include

revision session.
RS Revision session: divide the class into small
groups and give each group a different specification
topic. Ask each group to design revision question
cards, posters and booklets for their topic. On

part in a range of movements/activities that
demonstrate/include aspects of E5 and E6. Learners
then work individually to complete a worksheet on
these topics, before coming together in small
groups to check their understanding.
40 E1–E6:
examination
session.
RS Prepare for section A of the examination by setting
learners questions on the key content, with
reference to SAMs. Follow up with preparation for
section B.
Example session: set questions for section A, to
cover previously taught content. Following this, give
groups an aspect of performance (preparation,
execution or follow through) to analyse, in line with
section B. Groups form a think tank to consider
potential areas that the question could cover and
begin to break down the answer. Learners then
attempt to answer the analysis question
individually.
