KS3 Classroom Based Devising Project Scheme of Work

**KS3 Drama Scheme of Work on Devising At Desks Using ‘Free’ by David Grant **

This is a 7 week scheme of work aimed at Year 8 students although could easily be adapted for any KS3 year group.

This has been created for KS3 lessons in a classroom at desks (although could be adapted to a drama room too). The idea is that the lessons build to a whole class devised performance, using the play ‘Free’ by David Grant as a stimulus. The students play students, in a classroom, who are left without a teacher. I have aimed to introduce students to a few different ways to approach devising scenes.

This resources includes;

Scheme of work.
Workbook (including reading for each lesson)
PowerPoints for each of the 7 lessons.
Resources.
Technique Cards
Ideas for Remote Learning (just in case!)

The lessons cover the topics of;
Creating a Character (using character profile and hot-seating)
Developing a Plot (following a story arc)
Dilemma (Short scenes including techniques)
Main Moment (Still images, improvisation and thought-tracking)
Ensemble Movement
Assembling the Performance
Final Performance
