 Justification
INTRODUCTION

This unit plan has been designed for a SACE stage 1 class of 16 students in a co-educational, state,
secondary school in the southern Suburbs of Adelaide. Students will be required to participate in a
European Handball unit for 6 weeks which is comprised of both theory and practical components.
This unit has been created on the foundation of Play Practice (Lauder, 2001), Teaching Games for
Understanding (TGfU) (Bunker & Thorpe, 1986) and elements of the Sport Education Physical
Education Program (SEPEP) (Siedentop, Hastie & Mars, 2011) by using a backwards design approach
to curriculum (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005). Theory for this unit will centre on exercise physiology -
specifically muscular, respiratory and circulatory systems - which falls under knowledge of body
systems as part of students knowledge of the nature of physical activity (South Australian Certificate
of Education Board of South Australia [SACE], 2017). Special emphasis has been dedicated to the
varying styles of formative and summative assessments throughout the unit, differentiated to cater
for all students in the class. The combination of frameworks, from which inspiration was drawn,
ensures the teaching and learning from the unit are of a high standard according to the South
Australian Teaching for Effective Learning framework (TfEL) (Department for Education and Child
Development [DECD], 2010). Additionally, through participation, students are expected to develop
Sport Literacy as the unit addresses the three facets of learning: in, through and about movement
(Arnold, 1979; Pill, 2010). This curriculum aims to provide students with authentic and enjoyable
experiences to promote lifelong physical activity.

CURRICULUM DECISIONS

The TGfU, Play Practice and SEPEP approaches to teaching Physical Education are used throughout
this unit to promote student learning. The TGfU model is incorporated in the unit to appeal to
students interest and engagement levels within practical lessons. While previous teaching theories
have focused on the importance of optimal biomechanical techniques (Mitchell, Oslin, & Griffin,
2013; Pill, 2013), this unit centres on building tactical awareness in an invasion game setting. It is
expected European Handball is a new sport to students, and as such, a substantial amount of
learning will need to occur in the lessons. Research has shown students are more likely to perform
skills to a higher degree of efficiency when understood from a tactical perspective as opposed to
simply recreating a skill outside of a game context (Davids, Button & Bennet, 2008; Griffey & Houser,
2007; Renshaw, Chow, Davids & Hammond, 2010). TGfU has been said to challenge the traditional
linear motor learning theory as the typical TGfU lesson progresses from a warm up like game into
an instructional isolation activity, with the aim that these specific tactics or skills are used in a final
game setting (Davids et al., 2008, Renshaw et al., 2010). Play Practice, is a similar approach and
when used appropriately, is a fantastic way to continually cement student learning by revisiting key
concepts, using guiding questions and positively incorporating mistakes to enhance student
understanding (Launder, 2001). The Play Practice model is evident in the first four practical weeks of
the unit. These lessons generally follow the same structure; where a modified game is played
focusing on a specific offensive or defensive concept, transition into a practice task or drill to isolate
the concept at hand and completed by moving back into an authentic game setting to reinforce the
learning objective.

The final primary framework used in this unit is the SEPEP approach. This framework was chosen as
a focus as it aims for students to develop and demonstrate sporting skills while paying attention to
the importance of student centred learning with the opportunity for real responsibilities and roles
within the lesson (Siedentop, Hastie & Van Der Mars, 2011). The Sport Education model is evident in
the unit specifically in the final practical lessons with round-robin tournaments of mixed-ability
teams. It is hoped students with higher understandings of, or confidence in, the game are able to act
as a captain or team leader, while other class members will perform supporting roles such as
equipment manager, referees or scorers. It was important students interacted collaboratively while
demonstrating initiative and leadership (SACE Board of SA, 2017) to facilitate connections between
sport and its cultural meaning (Alexander & Taggart, 1995; Pill, 2014; Siedentop et al., 2011). Sport
Literacy, which is the combination of these Physical Education teaching designs (Drummond & Pill,
2011; Pill, 2014), encapsulates the core of this unit which aims to develop sporting knowledge for
use as an individual and a member of the greater community.

SPORT LITERACY/ARNOLDS DIMENSIONS

Sport Literacy can be linked to Arnolds (1979) original dimensions of Physical Education teaching as
students learn information in three ways - in, through and about movement. The skill acquisition
elements explored in week 3 regarding effective ball placement is an example of students learning
how to best move for efficiency IN movement (Pill, 2014). Learning THROUGH movement refers to
the embodied experience associated with sport participation (Pill, 2014, p.64). The student run
round-robin tournaments are an example of this, with a focus on roles related to sport performance.
Arnolds final facet of learning, ABOUT movement, centres on the knowledge that sport is
structured in certain ways to bring about certain things (Pill, 2014, p.64) which is evident in the
Summative self assessment of game play and analysis of laboratory data analysis. By critically
analysing his or her own physiological response to game play, a student learns in, through and about
movement (Brown, & Penney, 2013). It is hoped students will combine theoretical concepts with
real world applications to further develop an understanding of the human bodys physiology in
relation to the wider community and how the analysis can be applied back to his or herself to
improve physical performance in the future.

LESSON STRUCTURE

Literature was collated from a number of sources to determine if massed or distributed practice was
most effective in understanding and retaining information, as well as developing new skills. This
information was then used to assess the optimal lesson format in terms of double and single lesson
structure. Originally, it was discussed that single lessons would be best used for theoretical
components, allowing maximal playing time during the double lessons. However, research shows
that distributed practice is more effective in retaining information, therefore producing fewer errors
(Haq and Kodak, 2014). Seabrook, Brown and Solity (2005, p.108) explain the benefits of distributed
practice have been found across a range of areas and with various age groups, stating that it has
been found with both recognition and recall, in both implicit and explicit memory and following both
intentional and incidental learning. Massed or crammed practice also presented a number of
negative impacts on student learning. This included that the structure and compressed nature of
massed practice generally does not produce the intended learning outcomes, nor does it allow for
adequate reflection or analysis of what has been taught (Davies, 2006). Based on these findings, it
was determined that this distributed form of practice would likely be value for the learning of both
practical and theoretical concepts throughout this unit plan. Therefore, one single lesson will
accommodate a practical lesson, while the other will be used for theory. The double lesson will
compile of both theory and practical elements to allow for this distributed practice each week.

PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH

A number of pedagogical approaches are used throughout this unit for both the practical and
theoretical components. These include a combination of student centred (through guided discovery
and questioning), teacher directed and game sense with the utilisation of the CHANGE IT model to
modify games. These pedagogical approaches have been linked to various TfEL domains to justify
their prevalence in the classroom. Lesson time and structure has also been informed by relevant
academic literature to determine how students will best learn and retain the skill and information.

STUDENT CENTRED LEARNING/GUIDED DISCOVERY

A student centred learning approach is beneficial facet which has been incorporated in this unit as it
encourages student exploration, promotes a deeper understanding and produces higher order
thinking. This aligns with TfEL framework domain 3.2 to foster deep understanding and skilful action
(DECD, 2010). Over the course of the unit, students will be provided with a vast range of
opportunities to develop their understandings of technical and tactical aspects of European
Handball, as well as theoretical components throughout the exercise physiology unit. The absorption
of this knowledge will be prompted by guided discovery in order to generate curiosity and student
exploration, creating an engaging learning environment where by students develop essential
problem solving skill through learning from mistakes (Harvel, 2010). By providing students with
minimal information based around rules, teachers will position themselves as facilitators rather than
dictators of the lesson. This will encourage student curiosity and develop problem solving through
the guided discovery approach, allowing students to create their own meaning (Harvel, 2010). This
guided discovery approach will also form the basis of various class discussions to encourage higher
order thinking through questioning.

Where applicable throughout this unit, theoretical concepts have also been based on students
results from practical components. For example, when discussing acute and chronic adaptations to
physical activity or throughout a particular sport, students results from the heart rate monitors will
be analysed to determine how their own heart rate changed throughout the game. Creating the link
to TfEL domain 4.3, this method allows students to make connections between the theoretical
concept, and their own acute adaptations to physical activity, creating more meaning and
developing a deeper understanding (DECD, 2010).

TEACHER-DIRECTED LEARNING

Teacher-directed approach has been embedded throughout the unit when the teacher used explicit
instructions, feedback or information to assist learning. This style of learning directly links to TfEL
framework domain 2.4, by ensuring students feel supported, challenged and assured throughout
their learning (DECD, 2010). Combined with the questioning/guided discovery approach, the teacher
directed approach has been utilised particularly during theoretical lessons as students are given new
information and concepts most of which, students are expected to have limited to no pre-existing
knowledge of. This approach is also linked to TfEL domain 2 as it is beneficial when covering safety
aspects of the unit as these are not negotiable and need to be clearly emphasised to students (DECD,
2010). However, when analysing the unit in terms of best practice teaching this is not the preferred
pedagogical approach as it does not promote the development of higher order and cognitive
thinking to the levels that a more student-centred or guided discovery approach does (Parker &
Curtner-Smith, 2012).

GAME SENSE

The game sense approach was the predominant framework used to design the practical component
of the unit in the hope students will have the opportunity to practice and further develop skills in
game situations. Aligning with TfEL framework domains 4.1 and 4.3 (DECD, 2010), this approach aims
to develop students tactical learning during game play, therefore, providing them with a better
understanding of the game intelligence (Pill, 2013). As said above, through immediate game play at
the beginning of the unit with a modified version of the end game, teachers are able to use this as a
pre-assessment in order to gauge student performance, pre-existing understanding of invasion
games as well as their readiness levels(Doubet & Hockett, 2015). Using this game sense method
encourages students to become intricate problem solvers in situations that are similar to real game
situations. This also promotes learning environments which are favourable when using a dynamic
systems perspective (Pill, 2013). Mosstons spectrum of teaching styles, similar to the game sense
approach has a focus on assisting students in developing higher order and cognitive thinking
(Mosston & Ashworth, 2008). The use of a guided discovery approach is achieved predominantly
through putting students in situations aimed at developing their effective decision making (Mosston
& Ashworth, 2008).

DIFFERENTIATION

Throughout the unit, elements of both practical and theoretical concepts are able to be
adapted/modified using the following methods, to accommodate for students level of readiness,
interests, needs and abilities (Jarvis, 2010).

CHANGE IT

The approach not only links with how the content it taught, but also how practical lessons may be
differentiated to suit students readiness, interests and abilities. It focus is on changing specific
elements of the game in order to adapt to more complex games, to a beginners level and vice versa.
These changeable elements include coaching or teaching styles, how to score in terms of making it
easier or harder, the playing area, the number of players, secondary game rules, equipment,
inclusion and the time it is played for (Australian Sports Commission, 2016). This was used in lesson
1 when progressing the initial invasion game from Bench-ball to the developed game of European
Handball to allow students to focus on specific elements of the game at a time, rather than being
overwhelmed with rules and fundamental game skills. This approach addresses TfEL framework
domain 4.1 (DECD, 2010), to better build on students understandings. This will be achieved by
allowing time for students to grasp the fundamental aspects of each game before progressing to
make it more complex/similar to the game. These alterations may also be made during practical
lessons throughout the unit to adapt to students needs and support students while they develop
deeper understandings. Flexibility is needed in this approach as some students may grasp concepts
and develop their abilities at a faster rate than others (Sousa & Tomlinson, 2011).
STUDENT INTERESTS

Throughout the unit, much of the content has been aimed at students interest to create engaging
lessons that can transfer knowledge from areas/concepts where students have prior understandings.
Linking to the TfEL domain 4.2 (DECD, 2010), the emphasis on student interest helps to create links
and build a deeper understanding of how the content can be transferred/adapted to other contexts.
Jarvis (2013) explains that teachers can capitalise on student interest to create engaging lessons that
students are motivated to participate and achieve in. She states that students are likely to have
developed considerable background knowledge, including vocabulary knowledge, through a range of
prior experiences related to topics of interest (p.59). Therefore, by relating concepts in the
classroom, such as the RAFT task, to students individual interests, teachers are enhancing student
learning and developing meaningful connections and understandings to contexts outside of the
classroom (promoting authenticity).

GROUP DYNAMICS

It is important that throughout the practical tasks, teams or groups comprised of students of mixed
ability, as opposed to the static low, middle and high ability grouping (Jarvis, 2010). This prevents
any one team from consistently dominating the play time, resulting in opposition players to have
less time with the ball and hinder the development their own technical and tactical skills (Lentillon-
Kaestner & Patelli, 2016). Teams will be flexible and able to change over the course of the unit as
each students skills progress. Creating teams of mixed ability will not only level the playing fields,
but it will also allow for valuable peer teaching opportunities. Peer teaching enhances the level of
challenge for students who excel as they are provided with the opportunity to teach or become a
facilitator of learning for students of a lower ability level (Tomlinson, 2004). It also prevents students
with disabilities or special needs from continuously being placed in the low ability group with the
same students, giving them equal opportunity to succeed and work with other students in their class
(Jarvis, 2010). This factor was also considered when allocating group work/discussions during theory
lessons. For these tasks, group dynamics were varied to create equal opportunities for students to
learn. Students were either grouped according to their ability and readiness levels. This allows the
teacher to slightly alter the level of challenge while ensuring the learning objectives remain the
same. Anchor activities will be available as groups may finish the core activities at different rates
(Jarvis, 2013). The other grouping method involves mixed ability groups. Similar to the benefits of
the practical task grouping, this allows for the opportunity of peer teaching, creating more challenge
for students who require it (Sousa & Tomlinson, 2011).

CLEAR LEARNING INTENTIONS

At the beginning of each practical and theory lesson the learning intentions in the form of know,
understand and do will be discussed to ensure students will know exactly what they are aiming to
achieve by the lessons completion (Wiggins & Mctighe, 2011). By having the end point in mind,
students are able to relate the lesson content to a particular understanding giving students the
ability to find connections within their learning and promote critical thinking. This eliminates any
hazy lessons and gives rise to high quality curriculum (Tomlinson 2014, pp 61-62) . Further to this,
each lesson will include a brief recap of the content learnt in the lesson previous, or in some cases
the year (year 10), to ensure students can recall and demonstrate what was covered so they can
transfer their knowledge to the new concepts. This also allows the teacher to identify which
students need further guidance or what students need to be extended in particular areas.

READINESS

An important part of this unit is acknowledging that students will have a varying amount of previous
experience in both handball and exercise physiology. This varying experience will determine the way
students interact with the units content. If left unaddressed then a student may either struggle or
disengaged during a lesson leading to behavioural problems and poor learning outcomes. To cater
for this, we have introduced pre-assessment at the beginning of the unit in both the theory and
practical to determine each student's readiness. Readiness, as explained by Sousa & Tomlinson
(2011, p.85), is defined as an individuals current proximity or proficiency with a specific set of
knowledge, understandings and skills based designated to a particular segment of study. With the
level of readiness determined, the teacher can differentiate the lesson slightly to ensure students
are progressing in their zone of proximal development (Jarvis, 2015). This will be incorporated into
learning activities during the theory and certain tasks, such as the drills and grouping, in practicals.
This links in with TfEL domain 4.1 which states the content should build on learners
understandings It is important to note that when differentiating a lesson, students learning
outcomes should remain the same but the way students complete the task (level of guidance) will be
different. Further to this Doubet & Hockett (2015) discovered students readiness levels are dynamic
and fluctuate depending on the topic and individual progress requiring readiness to be continuously
assessed through observations, questioning and formative assessment.

ASSESSMENT

PRE-ASSESSMENT

The unit utilises pre-assessment prior to the first lesson for both the practical and theory
components. Provided in the form of a quiz or test, students are required to answer a series of
purposefully designed questions to assess their current level of knowledge and understanding across
topics previously covered in years 9 and 10, as well as some questions that students are not yet
expected to know. Including both types of question enables the teacher to ascertain the degree to
which students have retained their learning from previous years, as well as determine whether there
are students with existing understandings more advanced than would be expected at SACE Stage 1.
Carrying out this pre-assessment helps to determine students levels of readiness, and guides the
future planning of lesson content sequences, learning tasks, and differentiation for students of
differing readiness levels (Tomlinson, 2004). Moreover, the inclusion of pre-assessment complies
with domain 4 of the TfEL framework, which encourages teachers to know what students can do in
subdomain 4.1, and build on learners understandings within subdomain 4.1 (DECD, 2010).

The pre-assessment provides opportunities for students to review their own level of existing
understandings, whilst offering them with a brief insight into the content and focus of the upcoming
unit that may aid in preparation for learning. The pre-assessment tasks within the theory and
practical components of the unit fall under the banners of assessment as, and assessment for
learning; as this both begins the learning process in students and helps guide the path for future
learning (Tomlinson & McTighe, 2006; Wiliam, 2011). Furthermore, in the case of the practical
European Handball quiz, the pre-assessment task provides an opportunity for the teacher to collect
baseline data in relation to individual students knowledge and understandings about European
Handball. This becomes valuable again when repeating the quiz with students at the end of the unit,
with results able to be used to measure student growth of learning and understanding of the sport.
This can then become a lightly weighted summative task that aids in guiding the grading process at
the end of the unit.

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Ongoing formative assessment is utilised throughout the unit in both practical and theory
components. Two key avenues for conducting formative assessment through the unit are teacher
observations and questioning. Both observations and question come through naturally as part of the
Game Sense pedagogical approach for practical lessons, and through a student-centred, guided
discovery approach within theory lessons. Anderson, Krathwohl and Bloom (2001) suggest that
student achievement and success can be assessed across the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor
domains of learning, and teachers are able to assess this through observation and questioning
strategies. Observation of student performance during practical sessions allows the teacher to
formatively assess student learning across all three domains. Examples of this could be observing
student ability to make appropriate tactical and decisions and technically execute during game play
(psychomotor); though subjective (Huitt, 2004), gauging cognitive learning through students
demonstrating levels of understanding through questioning; and affective development observable
through students displaying leadership, collaboration, and values of fair play. Furthermore, utilising
questioning as a way of conducting formative assessment through theory lessons connects with
domain 3 of the TfEL framework: develop expert learners through subdomain 3.4: promote
dialogue as a means of learning (DECD, 2010).

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

The choices of summative assessment within the unit have been based on specific features of the
performance standards for Stage 1 SACE Physical Education (SACE, 2017). To ensure this, summative
assessment tasks have been designed through backward design, by first selecting key areas of focus
from the performance standards and building the tasks in a way that will give students opportunities
to demonstrate achievement against these (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005). The practical and theory
summative assessment tasks are designed in conjunction with each other in order to cover as many
of the appropriate design criteria specific features without overlap, in order to best enable students
to demonstrate their learning across all specific features by the end of the Stage 1 subject (SACE,
2017).

The inclusion of a RAFT activity within the summative theoretical assessment facilitates
differentiation by student interest (Tomlinson, 2014). This assessment task enables students to have
choice in the way that they approach and present their work, though the focus on key concepts and
demonstration of achievement towards these remains the same. Giving students choice and
flexibility in their approach to assessment tasks is shown to increase students feelings of ownership
and empowerment regarding their work, which can lead to higher achievement and meaningful
engagement with the assessment piece (Sewell & Denton, 2011). The TfEL framework aligns with
this decision through sub-domains 2.1: create democratic relationships and 2.3: negotiate learning
(DECD, 2010). Furthermore, the theory summative assessment task allows students choice in their
mode of presentation, connecting with TfEL domain 4: personalise and connect learning subdomain
4.4: communicate learning in multiple modes (DECD, 2010). The summative assessment planned for
the practical component of the unit is purposefully designed as a theoretical assessment of
practical performance, rather than a performance and skill based assessment. Students are marked
on the quality of their analysis and understanding of their own performance, rather than the quality
of movement shown during the practical. Further, utilising video analysis of student's own
performance for the practical assessment component touches on subdomain 4.3 of the TfEL
framework: apply and assess learning in authentic contexts (DECD, 2010). Including a theoretical-
focused practical assessment

CONCLUSION

This unit demonstrates how TGfU and Play Practice approaches, when combined with SEPEP and
various other curriculum frameworks, can promote students to develop higher order thinking during
their participation in Stage 1 Physical Education. This unit has aimed to develop students
fundamental knowledge and understanding of the game of European Handball through a number of
practical and theoretical components, assessment tasks and teaching pedagogies. By linking the unit
to the curriculum and shifting the focus to tactical awareness in invasion games, students will learn
and develop valuable transferable skills that are necessary to progress to SACE stage 2. Various
pedagogical approaches decisions were made when designing the unit. Student centered, guided
discovery, teacher directed and game sense have been implemented with the aim to promote best
teaching practice through developing students higher-order thinking and skill performance. In both
practical and theory lessons, students will transition between traditional game and guided discovery
where the whole class will be introduced to a specific tactical skill. The guided discovery approach
will be implemented in these modified game scenarios to deeply engage students to explain the
why and not just the what to better understand new information. Assessment tasks have been
thoughtfully constructed in order to determine student progress over the six weeks. Through
ongoing formative assessment teachers are best able to gauge student development and prepare
them for the summative tasks. Special emphasis was given to differentiation concepts to cater to all
students levels of readiness, particularly in the decision to use a RAFT for the theoretical summative
assignment. By providing students the freedom to choose, to some degree, the assessment they
undertake, should promote a sense of independence and engagement in the topic.
Overall this unit was developed around the central idea that students should be given opportunities
for meaningful, authentic and differentiated participation in both the practical and theoretical
components of physical education to achieve success, not only in Stage 1 SACE, but to promote
lifelong physical activity.

Vidoe 1 4v4 Teams will be videoed playing a game of European Handball for a 15 minute period using the Ipads provided. This will be
conducted during week 2 lesson 2 of the unit plan once basic rules have been established. It is essential that all students have equal
playing time in order to analyse their playing skills.

Students will be organised in predetermined teams to allow an even playing field and increase inclusion. Team 1 will play team 2
for 15 minutes while the other teams vidoe a specific individual and vice versa. Although it may seem more efficient to film the two
teams as a whole, this allows students to assess individual movements, skills and positioning in comparison to others.
 Part 2
Video 2 This will be completed in week 5 lesson 2 during the final stages of the unit after tactical plays and positions have been introduced.
Students will again be videoed for 15 minutes playing (same format as last time) the game to assess the progression of tactics and
skills, both individual, and the class as a whole.

Task Breakdown Part 3 Analysis:

What do I need to
do? 1. Analyse your own performance during the first lesson (relate to specific points in the video). You should consider your
technical and tactical skills in terms of movement (spacial awareness), movement of the ball, technique and supporting
your team.

2. You will need to compare this to the recent video taken to determine improvements. Consider the points mentioned
above, how you have improved in these areas, why this is an improvement and why is it important to the flow of the
game?
(it is recommended that you present your findings in a table).

3. Your final task is to look at the progression of the class as a whole. This should consider improvements in teamwork, ball
movement around the court, team support and strategies. Compare the two videos and discuss your findings.

ASSESSMENT TYPE 2: FOLIO INTEGRATED TASK - Principles and Issues
The Nature of Physical Activity: Body Systems (Exercise Physiology)

Name / Date

Task Topic The Nature of Physical Activity - Body Systems (Exercise Physiology)

Curriculum Content KU1 - Knowledge and understanding of the nature of physical activity.
Descriptors Covered KU2 - Knowledge and understanding of appropriate terminology.
AR1 - Analysis of, and reflection on, performance.
AR3 - Use of information from different sources, with appropriate acknowledgement.

PURPOSE
This task provides the opportunity demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the physiological
responses of the human body when participating in exercise. Particular focus is placed on the
interconnection between the muscular, circulatory, and respiratory systems; their acute and chronic
responses to exercise; and the impact that these responses have on the athlete.

DESCRIPTION OF ASSESSMENT
The task is presented through a RAFT format. You are to select one of the rows from the RAFT table
below which outline four options for presentation method for your assignment. For example, if you
choose the third row of the RAFT, you will write your assignment from the perspective of an exercise
physiologist speaking to European handball players in a team meeting on the topic of the demands
and responses of the body during game play and training.
Whichever RAFT row you choose, you will be required to demonstrate your understanding and
ability to apply the exercise physiology concepts covered in our theory lessons to a specific sport
context. It is your choice to decide on the sporting context (except when choosing the European
handball option) and you must give specific details of the demands of this on the body within your
report.
Although some options for presentation are creative, factually correct information and terminology
must be used throughout your response with appropriate referencing to acknowledge resources
used.

Key features to consider in your task:

- Outline all appropriate responses to exercise across the muscular, circulatory, and
respiratory systems.
- Specific reference to type of exercise and factors that influence physiological response.
- Use of accurate terminology.
- Appropriate language for role in chosen task.
- Appropriate referencing of any resources used for research.
Choose one row from the following RAFT table to use as the framework of your task:

ASSESSMENT CONDITIONS
This task should come to a maximum of 750 words if written or 5 minutes for an oral or multimodal presentation. Appropriate headings and referencing
should be included.

You will have two weeks to complete the task; working on this will generally be within your own time. You will be given time during three theory lessons to
work on this with access to ICT.
