Over the years I have taught English, Maths, PSHE, Film Studies, Media Studies as well as Drama. As a result of teaching many subjects I have spent hours creating schemes and resources so I am hoping this will save you a lot of time. I hope it does.
I also have many years experience as a Pastoral Leader / SEN Teacher meaning I also have resources to support effective behaviour management, safeguarding and Special Educational Needs.

This fairytale drama scheme of work was written for KS3 Drama. The unit of work includes lesson activities, learning objectives, outcomes, homework and suggested open and closed questions. The main focus of the unit of work is creating traditional fairytales using non-naturalistic techniques, as well as exploring modernising the plot.
This student resource is written for students so they can gain a practical understanding of what "Limited", "Adequate", "Competent", "Secure and Sustained" and "Accomplished" means for Edexcel GCSE Drama (2016) Component 1 AO2 criteria.
This student resource can be taken to a live performance in order for students to take notes. There are key words which will support performance and production roles, and there are examples from "The Woman in Black".
The power point contains monologue workshop activities in order to support students through their choice of monologue as well as vocal and physical exploration. There are two resources attached to support the activities. Most of these activities can also be used when exploring duologues as well.
This KS3 Drama lesson includes a lesson plan, power point, challenge cards, homework activity, bell activity and all resources. These resources also include badges that you can individualise putting students names into them. They can then be printed off as stickers.
Students will investigate a crime that has happened at a house by visiting three stations of clues. They will then create their piece of drama, and have evaluation cards like strategy detective, technique detective and target detective in order to focus the evaluations. There are challenge cards to challenge higher ability students within your group.
This unit of work looks at the job role of the actor in terms of what qualities are required, which other roles they work with in the industry, and the final piece of work would be the creation of a power point to educate aspiring actors. Students will also research other roles within the acting industry.
This would ideally need to be delivered in an ICT room, but could be adapted for the classroom provided case studies of job roles could be provided.
There is a unit of work that contains learning objectives, learning outcomes, homework, suggested activities as well as suggested open and closed questions. The unit of work contains six lesson plans.
There is a project pack included which involves students exploring Theatre in Education, the purpose, the similarities and differences to theatre as well as the job roles within Theatre in Education. This forms a homework project that supports the unit of work.
Some of the resources are included, but actor case studies would need to be printed for one lesson. For copyright reasons I am unable to include these.
This lesson plan, power point and resources were created to support the delivery of component 3 section B from the new Edexcel Drama syllabus. It can, however, be used to teach a live performance review from any syllabus.
The focus areas within the lesson are costume, set, lighting, space and levels. These areas are looked at individually working towards the completion of a live performance review.
This lesson plan includes suggested activities, suggested questions, learning objectives and outcomes.
The power point supports the lesson plan but for copyright reasons you will need to insert appropriate live performance still images. This means you could use images from the same performance to complete a live performance review, or from different performances to introduce the topic. Through introducing your own images you will be able to use the resources several times.
This black History scheme of work was written to be delivered to year 8, but it can be delivered to any KS3 Drama group.
The scheme of work includes lesson objectives, learning outcomes, suggested tasks and activities, homework tasks as well as open and closed question suggestions.
The work book contains all activities mentioned in the scheme and can either be used as a class based work book or a homework book.
There are also a variety of bell activities to ensure students are immediately engaged, as well as an assessment planning sheet.
These differentiated question cards can be used by KS3 and KS4 Drama students when watching pieces of drama. The cards are differentiated for higher, middle and lower ability students within your group.
Hand the cards to students prior to watching the performance and they need to identify elements of the performance that will enable them to answer the question.
This stimuli devising project includes a power point and a student workbook. It can be used for any devising project, and can be used at both KS3 and KS4.
The power point contains lessons where students look at four different stimuli (WB Yeats' He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven, the start of Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant, Work Place Discrimination and the story of Malala Yousafzai). Students will then compare and contrast these resources to create an original piece of drama. The above content will be delivered over three lessons.
Students will then look at picture stimuli and will compare and contrast two pictures leading to an original performance. I am unable to include the pictures for copyright reasons.
The final part of the project will be where students respond to different forms of possible discriminations (Disability / Homophobia / Sexism / Race ). Although this is one lesson, it has potential to be adapted into an assessment that could last for longer.
There is a student workbook which enables students to keep portfolio evidence as they progress through their lessons.
This Unit of Work has been adapted for Component 1 of the new Edexcel syllabus. However, it can be used for any Devising Unit or Theatre in Education Unit. The scheme of work includes lesson objectives, learning outcomes, suggested activities and homework, as well as suggested open and closed questions.
The accompanying power point is suitable for the entire scheme of work. For copyright reasons, I have been unable to use the pictures, but I have highlighted where I have used pictures in the power point.
This scheme of work was written for a KS3 Drama group. It explores drama in the media through an understanding of soap opera.
The scheme of work contains five lessons. Each lesson has suggested activities with extended activities, lesson objectives, learning outcomes, suggested open and closed questions, homework tasks and links to appropriate resources.
This resource gives purpose to the evaluation of drama performances. There is a "Judge"role, an "Interpretation Analyst" role, "Objective Enquirer" role and a "Facilitator"role card.
Each role card contains questions that will enable focused and detailed performance analysis.
The cards can be used by groups or individuals.
This drama unit of work is based on character's in a family tree. It has been written for a KS3 Drama group, but could also be used for a devising unit. The unit of work contains lesson objectives, lesson outcomes, suggested activities, suggested open and closed questions and homework.
There is a workbook to accompany the unit of work, as well as four power points.
The concept of the lesson is that someone has stole a Birthday cake, and students have to investigate this crime by gathering clues which will then be used to create a piece of drama. It can be used for both KS3 and KS4 classes.
This lesson involves completing a market place activity where students will collect information from three stations and then complete drama tasks. There is a team sheet outlining what students need to do, extension tasks at each station and a team work evaluation sheet where students can identify what good team building skills they have used. All information for each station is also included.
The lesson plan includes learning objectives, learning outcomes, suggested activities, personal learning and thinking skills, extension tasks, suggested open and closed questions and cross-curricular links to English and PSHE.
This bell activity booklet contains 9 drama word searches presented in a booklet form. There is also an answer booklet showing where all of the answers are for each word search. Topics include costume, lighting, set, explorative strategies, voice, movement, genre, elements and mediums.
The concept of this devising assessment is that students analyse four pieces of art and create four pieces of original drama based on the art work. The final performance will be set in an art gallery where students bring the art to life and can stage the performance to include the audience. You can also add in an art gallery worker to escort the audience around the gallery.
There are four lessons included in the power point to create the work, but students will then rehearse this towards an assessment.
There is a work book to enable students to keep a log book of the decisions that they have made.
There are also cards which have key vocal and physical terms on which can be used in any drama lesson to encourage students to include these words during evaluations.
For copyright reasons, I am unable to include the four pictures, but the questions will fit any piece of art meaning you would be able to just insert the pictures into the power point and work book.
There are five one off or cover lessons included that have been written for KS3 Drama. Each lesson has tasks and learning objectives. Included in the resources are:
A Day in The Life of a bully (Devising)
MacBeth' s Witches
Stereotypical Characters
Haunted House
Social Media (No.2)
This scheme of work has been written to support the delivery of Component 3 Section B in the new Edexcel GCSE Drama specification. The unit of work could be adapted for any Live Performance Review unit being delivered at GCSE level.
