Year 10 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Directing and Design are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Drama Year 10 uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Directing and Design is module 2 of 3 in Drama Year 10. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses Drama Year 10 dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
