Introduction
This assessment activity requires you to participate in a variety of physical activities and to explain what factors influenced your participation. You will be assessed on the consistency of your effort and engagement when participating in activities, and your ability to explain the factors that influence your participation.
Task
Participating actively
Participate in physical activities with a consistently high level of effort and engagement.
Review the criteria listed in Resource A.
Your teacher will keep an ongoing record of your participation levels throughout your physical activity experiences and will make a final judgement on the level you have achieved. Excellence can be achieved only if you have participated with a consistently high level of effort and engagement.
Explaining the factors influencing your participation
During or immediately after some of these physical activities, your teacher will ask you to explain verbally the factors that have influenced your participation. (See Resource B for examples of such factors.)

identify the factors that influenced your participation
explain how and why those factors influenced your participation by giving specific examples.
The factors that influenced my participation may include but are not limited to:
my well-being
fun and enjoyment

a sense of achievement
social factors, for example, being able to do this physical activity with friends or choose my own group
aesthetic appeal
that the activity pushes me to my physical and/or mental limits
