Breaking the activity into clear steps helps the learner practise one part at a time instead of guessing.

12 A teacher asks students to explain Balloon Strike to a new classmate. Write a clear explanation including the setup, main action, goal and one useful practice tip. 4 marks
Model answer

Balloon Strike is an activity in which students follow a particular arrangement and practise a defined movement. The task should be completed by following its rules and paying attention to the stated skill focus.

  • Main action: Toss the balloon and strike it to pass to teammates, then try to put it into the opponent’s goal.
  • Goal or scoring: The team with the most goals wins.
  • Practice tip: Cooperation and hitting while running; contact point changes the balloon’s path.
Explanation

Explaining an activity well means describing not only the movement but also how it begins, what students are trying to do and what they should pay attention to.

14 Compare the role of preparation and movement in Balloon Strike. 3 marks
Model answer

Preparation gives students the correct position and equipment, while the movement is the action they practise. Both are needed for the activity to work as described.

  • Preparation: Mark a rectangular playing area with a goal at each end; form two teams of four or five.
  • Movement: Toss the balloon and strike it to pass to teammates, then try to put it into the opponent’s goal.
  • The preparation makes the movement possible to perform in an organised way.
Explanation

The question checks whether students can distinguish the starting arrangement from the skill itself.

15 After observing Balloon Strike, what would you tell a student who wants to improve? Give a practical, source-based plan. 4 marks
Model answer

The student should practise by following the stated arrangement, repeating the central movement carefully and checking the key focus point. Improvement should come from controlled practice rather than changing the activity's basic rules.

  • Start with the correct setup: Mark a rectangular playing area with a goal at each end; form two teams of four or five.
  • Repeat the main action: Toss the balloon and strike it to pass to teammates, then try to put it into the opponent’s goal.
  • Check the focus point: Cooperation and hitting while running; contact point changes the balloon’s path.
  • Use the stated variation if practice needs to change: Vary the playing-area size or replace the balloon with soft balls.
Explanation

A useful plan connects the source's setup, movement, focus and suggested variation instead of giving unrelated advice.
