| Task 7: Identifying increasing depth of challenge for skills (15 minutes) |
|---|
|
Take your Key Stage 3 curriculum map. Identify where one skill currently appears as a focus for learning across the key stage (N.C. PoS 2.1d, for instance: Creating and developing musical ideas). Now identify exactly what is taught each time the skill appears (for instance, matching ideas against simple chord patterns, later developing ideas within musical structures using a greater range of chords, and later still producing a stylistically convincing whole with various harmonic and non-harmonic devices). Do the later appearances build on and extend the depth of challenge? If not, how can the later units be adapted to provide appropriate challenge? |
