General Observations

• Many of you failed to read some questions.
• Remember when asked to give examples from either
  Games or specific activities that you stick to
  these.
• This can be seen in question 9 where it mentions
  using 2 games. This obviously means 2
  different games. Dance Gym are not games
  therefore you cant use these as examples.
• Remember that you need to ensure that you cover
  the full allocation of marks. E.g. if the
  question is worth 4 marks you need to either give
  4 examples or write in enough depth to achieve 4
  marks.
• Avoid waffle, stick to a precise answer/example
  use bullet points if it helps make your answer
  clear. This will also help you see if you have
  covered all the available marks.
