Drama Assessment for Learning

This is a skill based, practical, Assessment for Learning resource suitable for KS2 and KS3 Drama. It can be used for Self, Peer and Teacher assessment to ensure that the practical work being rehearsed is improved and polished in a focused manner. When using this resource, students will be able to use targeted skill based language in order to give feedback to others, or reflect on their own work.

These grids have been developed based on IGCSE Drama. I have taken into consideration the skills needed at that level and broken them down to ensure smooth transitions throughout the earlier Key Stages in preparation.

Included in this resource you will find a traffic light, student based document and a marking document for years 3-9. An example of how I have used them is:

• Student copies of the traffic light that they can use while watching their own, and others performances. Either on personal devices or as laminated copies, these can be used to target improvement and incorporate dramatic languages into feedback.
• Student copies of the marking sheets in order for them to see how and where their strengths need to be developed (for example, they might have clear developed movement, but need to work further on vocal aspects).
• Incorporate into teacher marking, though they will need to be more task specific for this to be most beneficial.

These are in word and can be edited to suit your tasks.
