Today, we're focusing on the written report for Criterion A. It should be between 1,200 and 1,500 words. Who can tell me what topics we need to cover in our report?
I think we need to write about anatomy and physiology?
And training principles right?
Exactly! You'll need to explain anatomy, physiology, and the training principles. Letβs also talk about structuring your arguments using the PEE technique. Can anyone summarize what PEE stands for?
Point, Evidence, Explanation.
Correct! This structure helps you present your thoughts clearly. Remember, for every point you make, provide solid evidence and explain its importance. A simple way to remember this is 'Point it Out, Back it Up, and Break it Down.'
In summary, for the report, focus on covering topics clearly, utilize the PEE structure, and aim for clarity in your explanations.

Now, letβs move on to the visual infographics. You will create two A3 posters. What topics do you remember we need to illustrate?
Energy systems and muscle contraction, right?
That's correct! How do you think infographics help in understanding these concepts?
They can make complicated ideas simpler and more visual!
Exactly! Visual representations can clarify and enhance your explanations. Remember to use colors and concise text to make them effective. A tip is to follow the KISS principle: Keep It Simple and Straightforward.
In conclusion, when creating your posters, focus on clarity and simplicity while ensuring the content effectively communicates the concepts.
Applying the PEE Technique

Letβs practice applying the PEE technique. If I say, 'The heart pumps blood efficiently,' how would you structure that?
Point: The heart is efficient. Evidence: It pumps blood continuously throughout the day!
Great! But whatβs the explanation?
Itβs crucial because efficient pumping maintains oxygen delivery and nutrient transfer in the body.
Exactly! By using PEE, you're not just stating facts; youβre also demonstrating how these facts connect to your understanding. Remember, the aim is not only to inform but also to engage your readers.

Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, the specifics of task design under Criterion AβKnowing and Understandingβare presented, including the preparation of written reports and visual infographics. Students are guided on structuring their explanations using the PEE (PointβEvidenceβExplanation) method, ensuring deep comprehension of key concepts like anatomy and physiology.
Detailed
Task Design in Criterion A Assessment
This section focuses on the crucial aspect of task design within Criterion A, which assesses students' ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding in Physical & Health Education.
Written Report
- Length: 1,200β1,500 words.
- Content: The report should explain core topics such as anatomy, physiology, and training principles covered throughout the course.
Visual Infographics
- Activity: Create two A3 posters.
- Poster 1: Illustrating energy systems.
- Poster 2: Demonstrating the muscle contraction process.
Technique for Structuring Explanations
The PEE structure (PointβEvidenceβExplanation) is recommended for ensuring clarity and depth in explanations:
- Point: State the main idea or concept clearly.
- Evidence: Provide facts or data that support this idea.
- Explanation: Elaborate on how the evidence relates to and supports the point.
By mastering this task design framework, students can effectively convey their understanding of complex topics within the spectrum of Physical & Health Education.

Chapter Content
β Written report: 1,200β1,500 words explaining anatomy, physiology, and training principles covered in course.
Detailed Explanation
This task requires students to write a comprehensive report that spans 1,200 to 1,500 words. In this report, students need to explain key concepts in anatomy, physiology, and training principles that they have learned during their course. It's important to focus on clarity and depth, ensuring that all relevant information is presented accurately.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this report like a research paper you might write in high school about a scientific topic. Just as you would need to gather facts, organize them, and explain them in your own words, here youβre doing the same but focusing on the human body and its functions in physical education.

Chapter Content
β Visual infographics: Create two A3 posters illustrating (a) energy systems, (b) muscle contraction process.
Detailed Explanation
Students are tasked with creating two visual infographics in the format of A3 posters. The first poster should explain energy systems, such as how the body generates energy during exercise. The second poster should illustrate the muscle contraction process. These visual aids should be clear, engaging, and educational, helping to communicate complex concepts in a simplified manner.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine preparing a presentation for a science fair. Instead of just talking about your topic, youβd create posters that use images and diagrams to explain what youβre talking about. In this case, youβre doing the same, but focusing on how energy systems work and how muscles contract during activities.
Technique: PEE Structure
Chapter 3 of 3

Chapter Content
β Technique: Use PEE (PointβEvidenceβExplanation) structure for each concept.
Detailed Explanation
Students must apply the PEE method when discussing each concept. This means they need to start with a Point that states the main idea, follow it with Evidence that supports this point, and conclude with an Explanation that elaborates on the point. This structured approach helps in organizing thoughts and strengthens arguments made in the report.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the PEE structure like telling a friend why you love a particular book. First, you'd make a Point like 'The book teaches important life lessons.' Then, you provide Evidence, like a quote from the book. Finally, youβd give an Explanation about how that quote demonstrates the lesson, making the overall argument clear and convincing.
