This SOL is based on the contemporary UK Theatre company, Kneehigh. This SOL allows students the opportunity to explore storytelling and storycraft using a number of abstract techniques. It’s lots of fun and also challenging at the same time. All resources are included in the SOL and you can adapt it to suit your own school/academy.

Aimed at Year 7 or year 8 this SOL offers pupils the opportunity to explore different legendary Roald Dahl Tales including: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, George’s Marvelous Medicine and Little Red Riding Hood from Revolting Rhymes. It also introduces pupils to a number of basic storytelling performance conventions. Over the course of the SOL pupils are able to use a variety of drama techniques or conventions which result in a summative performance in groups using the conventions learnt.

A selection of lessons that focuses on a number of experiential lessons. You will find lessons including: Teacher in role Basic emotional memory and guidance Developing oracy skills Response to stimuli Soundscape Great resource for history teachers who are looking to add some drama elements and experiential learning into their teaching; particularly the lesson where Evacuees are billeted.

Taking inspiration from BBC Radio 1’s Rage Against the Answer Machine I have devised a scheme of work to help develop characterisation and pupils ability to create a direct address or monologue based on the idea of rage. This was initially designed for year 9 pupils as an introduction to developing character with more thought but it could be added to. The scheme of work looks at: Stereotypes Seven stages of tension Visualisation Creating monologue and direct address Redrafting Feedback Semiotics There are 9 lessons in the pack with worksheets, links to video and sound clips.

A basic 6 lesson SOL based on Shakespeare stories but modernised. A Midsummer Night’s Dream CSI in Hermia’s bedroom - with resources. The World of the play Jeremy Kyle with special guest, Puck Macbeth as the Apprentice Pupils create a news report. In the past I have set the scene with a chalk outline and a knife on the floor.
