Adapting assessment Depending on the student group teachers may wish to adapt the assessment to focus on only stanza per student, i.e. a shorter section of work. The length of the sequence (30 seconds to a minute) may be defined in terms of a number of movements, e.g. for your stanza you need to have at least 6 movements or actions to shape into a sequence.
