Exam preparation - Mr Hopper’s Year 10 GCSE
Exam Preperation
Due Thursday 6/12/07
To help with your revision and understanding of the theory please write a comment on the work you have done on Health Related Exercise.
Use the three questions to help you think about your strengths and areas for development.
1. What do you understand so far?
2. How confident are you that you will remember the class work in a test or exam?
3. What area's do you think you might want extra help with?
Try to be specific with what you don’t understand. I can then give you extra help but I need to know what you find difficult.
An example of what you could write is shown below:
“Strengths – I am happy with my knowledge regarding the definitions of HRE and SRF. I can remember the definitions for health, fitness, performance and the other areas.
I need to develop my understanding in the area of principles of training. I need to learn what each principle means and how it relates to a sport. I also need to remember the threshold of training values and how they relate to aerobic and anaerobic activities.”
REMEMBER THE EXAM IS ON THURSDAY 6TH DECEMBER
Leave a comment here or come and see me if you have any questions.
Good luck!
