This scheme of work introduces two practitioners in detail, with 12 weeks of planned work on each, culminating in suggested essay questions. In the new specification for performance studies, there are four units of assessment for the complete A level. If students are taking the course over two years, they will take two units per year.

To see unit G402 in the context of the whole A-level course, it is advisable to talk the students through the four units and to explain what percentage of the course each is worth.

1. AS Unit G401: creating performance 70% of AS and 35% of A level – 140 marks
2. AS Unit G402: performance contexts 1 30% of AS and 15% of A level – 60 marks
3. A2 Unit G403: performance contexts 2 30% of A2 and 15% of A level – 60 marks
4. A2 Unit G404: performance project 70% of A2 and 35% of A level – 140 marks
