1 Describe the starting arrangement for Throwing. 2 marks
Model answer

Use a ball; stand with legs apart and look at the target.

Explanation

A clear starting arrangement helps every student understand where to begin and what equipment to use.

2 State the main action practised in Throwing. 2 marks
Model answer

Hold the ball firmly; swing the throwing arm backwards while twisting the waist; release the ball and follow through smoothly.

Explanation

This identifies the central movement rather than an unrelated skill.

3 Explain how a student should carry out Throwing safely and effectively. 3 marks
Model answer

Hold the ball firmly; swing the throwing arm backwards while twisting the waist; release the ball and follow through smoothly.

  • Begin from the stated arrangement: Use a ball; stand with legs apart and look at the target.
  • Follow the key movement: Hold the ball firmly; swing the throwing arm backwards while twisting the waist; release the ball and follow through smoothly.
  • Keep attention on this focus: Grip, target focus and smooth follow-through.
Explanation

The answer combines the starting position, the movement and the point that controls successful performance.

4 What is the purpose of Throwing? 2 marks
Model answer

A controlled throw directed towards the target.

Explanation

The activity's rules and goal show what students are practising and how success is recognised.

5 Explain the rules or scoring used in Throwing. 3 marks
Model answer

A controlled throw directed towards the target.

  • Use the setup described for Throwing: Use a ball; stand with legs apart and look at the target.
  • Complete the task as described: Hold the ball firmly; swing the throwing arm backwards while twisting the waist; release the ball and follow through smoothly.
Explanation

Rules and scoring make the task clear and allow students to take turns fairly.

6 A classmate is unsure what to focus on during Throwing. What advice would you give? 3 marks
Model answer

Grip, target focus and smooth follow-through.

  • Watch the movement or object carefully.
  • Keep the body balanced and follow the activity's stated steps.
  • Remember the main focus: Grip, target focus and smooth follow-through.
Explanation

The advice links the book's specific focus with attentive, controlled practice.

7 How could the teacher vary Throwing while keeping it recognisably the same activity? 3 marks
Model answer

Practise underarm, overhead and sidearm throws.

  • Keep the main task and its purpose unchanged.
  • Use the suggested variation: Practise underarm, overhead and sidearm throws.
  • Explain the changed condition before students begin.
Explanation

The textbook suggests changing a feature such as equipment, distance, size or team arrangement while preserving the main skill.

8 Read the situation: a group is preparing to practise Throwing. Explain how they should set up, perform the task and recognise success. 4 marks
Model answer

The group should follow the activity's stated setup and carry out the central action. The goal is to perform the task with control and follow the rules.

  • Setup: Use a ball; stand with legs apart and look at the target.
  • Action: Hold the ball firmly; swing the throwing arm backwards while twisting the waist; release the ball and follow through smoothly.
  • Success or rule: A controlled throw directed towards the target.
  • Focus: Grip, target focus and smooth follow-through.
Explanation

A complete answer covers the arrangement, movement, rule or goal, and the skill focus, which are the main parts of an activity plan.

9 Which detail is most important to remember when practising Throwing? 2 marks
Model answer

Grip, target focus and smooth follow-through.

Explanation

The focus point helps the student concentrate on the movement detail emphasised in the instructions.

10 Explain one difficulty a learner may face in Throwing and how the instructions help address it. 3 marks
Model answer

A learner may find it difficult to coordinate the movement while keeping control of the object. The instructions help by giving a clear setup and action to follow.

  • Remember the starting position: Use a ball; stand with legs apart and look at the target.
  • Practise the main movement: Hold the ball firmly; swing the throwing arm backwards while twisting the waist; release the ball and follow through smoothly.
  • Concentrate on: Grip, target focus and smooth follow-through.
Explanation

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

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

Throwing 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.

  • Setup: Use a ball; stand with legs apart and look at the target.
  • Main action: Hold the ball firmly; swing the throwing arm backwards while twisting the waist; release the ball and follow through smoothly.
  • Goal or scoring: A controlled throw directed towards the target.
  • Practice tip: Grip, target focus and smooth follow-through.
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.

12 Why is it useful to follow the stated rules in Throwing? 2 marks
Model answer

Following the rules makes the activity clear and helps students practise the intended movement fairly.

  • It tells players what action to perform.
  • It makes the goal or scoring clear.
Explanation

Rules prevent confusion and keep the activity focused on its intended task.

13 Compare the role of preparation and movement in Throwing. 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: Use a ball; stand with legs apart and look at the target.
  • Movement: Hold the ball firmly; swing the throwing arm backwards while twisting the waist; release the ball and follow through smoothly.
  • 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.

14 After observing Throwing, 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: Use a ball; stand with legs apart and look at the target.
  • Repeat the main action: Hold the ball firmly; swing the throwing arm backwards while twisting the waist; release the ball and follow through smoothly.
  • Check the focus point: Grip, target focus and smooth follow-through.
  • Use the stated variation if practice needs to change: Practise underarm, overhead and sidearm throws.
Explanation

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